CO-OP 0105: Indie Games Special

[HardWarUK]

I am looking for an indie third person shooter from around 2007. It was a boy and girl running around on a weird planet and it had a weird game name - maybe beginning with "Z"? The main male character had a huge weapon like a pole or something, not a sword. It was sci-fi - can anyone help?

[Poopulan]

Why does that speed thing look exactly like portal? and the jump thing. This came out long before... Thats a little scary.

[INT3RNAUT]

Amazing production quality-- why have I never heard of you dudes before?

[vampiressae]

thepowerofpaint site doesn't seem to work :\

[greekdude247]

This is my favorite CO-PO episode by far

[DocterWhite]

which cam has been used for this or is there any which performs the same quality?

by the way great video where did the festival take place?

[moviestar11]

Matt looks like Moby!

[EvaxBlends]

pause at 13:17 he picks his nose lol

[pinky315]

tag looks as good if not better than portal

[kiryx7]

[wrathfeeling]

area5media, I really appreciate these video's. It helps me to see how games develope and mostly too the backstory. I myself cant come to these conferences due to country and travel. But its interesting. I just found out about you, and following with great love. I wonder whether you will hear more about the new DS zelda. Yea im a zeldafan for years, but im not sure in how far you guys like it anyways. Maybe you can talk to the designers at GDC of zelda about their innovative idea on DSi. Thanks.

I think you should use the song that you played at the end as your intro song. It''s much better than the one that's there right now and captures the feel of the show better. It's probably not gonna happen since Jane Pickard did it for free and is a friend of the show, but the ending song is way better.

[w0smith]

I like the intro song, it's grown on me anyway

[harryps3]

I agree with "w0smith' the intro song has grown on me, but i do like that ending so A LOT. Does anyone know how or where i can get it?

[Crazyreyn]

What is the tune that plays at 11:30?

[tehchibiblondie]

you guys outdid yourself with this one, brilliant!

[powerlink485]

Great episode guys was really fun to see some of the stuff at the show. I find though that the videos your uploading playback very jerky on the video, while audio plays fine (trust me its not hardware related my pc specs are more than enough). Unsure if its how you guys are saving the final video you submit or its its due to YouTube but just makes the video somewhat unpleasant to watch.

[narcoticxsquirrel]

Yea I get the same thing on mine I thought it was just me though. I heard that there is something wonky with the YouTube codec from a guy who does rock band vids and the vid lags in HQ.

[powerlink485]

Took a look on their webpage, they link to a HD version which in the title says 30fps. So I am guessing they only release the best quality one on that linked webpage. If that is the case then would be nice if they could just upload the 30fps version here as I dont care to be jumping all over the net just to watch this stuff. If its to do with Youtube well I am not surprised.

[spookysquidgames]

Great to see such fantastic coverage of the IGF!

[cws1012]

Best episode yet

[TheShinyDemon]

Every year its hard not to think there won't be anything frighteningly brilliant in videogames for a while.. and then GDC rolls around and showcases indie developers visions-set-in-motion..

And we should kick ourselves for having such blasphemous thoughts.

I can definitely maintain that TAG is an awesome game; I played through it a few months ago (the Most Popular chart on download . com is a great resource) and it played great, even on my crappy laptop. Had a cool Portal feel to it.

[ssyneomatrix]

just as good as when you guys were at 1up. if not, then better. thank you for sticking with this guys.

[nutballzzz]

love the show

[blah97840]

wow i just realized feist beta isnt up anymore. good thing i didnt delete it, now to play through it

[poopiedeloopie]

This was my favorite episode by far content-wise.

[PlayItPoolman]

Man, it's really cool to see how passionate these people are about their games.

This is the best coverage of IGF I've seen. Props, love you CO-OP. :)

[topgear4383]

This is so awesome

[Deelucky84]

@2:17 fresh has a Dunder Mifflin shirt on.

[cubegame]

Awesome show guys! its nice to see people showing the indie game instead of just reporting on the big games

[Deptchargeeng]

Mad, yo. Keep up the good work.

[tumest]

Hmmm. The the video quality has dropped a bit.

[tmacc]

super! 5*

[rubbermuck]

I loved seeing some proper footage and discussion on indie games for once, none of the big sites really do it justice.

shame I can't stand the introsong or the way too long ads

[Jellyform]

I like the look of the unfinished swan game. Its totally different but it reminded me of the anti-color levels people have made in LitleBigPlanet.

[Globox822]

Man i really find these games lame, who cares about this craP? I so moved from SNES games, even if you payed me to play games i saw in this episode i would not do it. Lame.

Please don't do this anymore.

Indy this indy that-.

[Kingofunrealuk]

Or perhaps you could look behind how a game looks and enjoy how it plays? I don't know, just a little idea for you there.

[Globox822]

Don't care for crap that looks like SNES game, this is 2009 not 1993

[GreatGibdo]

Your logic is flawed.

[FF7ACJW]

@Globox822 Get over yourself. Graphics aren't what make a game good. A lot of the games from back then are a lot better than a lot of the games now A.K.A. Generic Shooter 5000.

[Happyanand69]

Are you kidding me? These are the designers of the future... And i'm glad that indiegames are gettin so much attention. It's good for the industry. GO MOUNTAINDEW!

[keynesrules]

I love this show :)

[djchozen91]

Another great vid!
