Indie Game: The Movie is about making video games, but at its core, it's about the creative process and exposing yourself through your work.

I've been making an indie game called Yelaxot for the past 2 years myself. I've shown it to people and everyone says it looks amazing to them which is great. I made a short gameplay video of it but of course very few people have seen it. I wish I could get more people's opinion on it. Lol!

You have no idea what you are talking about. These guys spend YEARS creating these things. They are artists that lose themselves in what they create. No different than any other medium. If you fail to connect with that.... well, that is your fucking problem. Take your prepubescent criticism and find something relevant to your interests. Or don't.... nobody fucking cares.

great film. Tommy's depression, John's reaction to the Braid feedback, and Phil's breakdown over his partner and the demo glitching hit me quite deep.

These guys Just got lucky gamejolt[dot]com/games/shooter­/dead-or-undead/14496/ is my game and it has had 7 plays and ive been making it for almost a year now

[eravacre]

It's a great game

just torrent it and phil gets no revenue lol

[Sovspot]

Worse, he's French Canadian.

[SarcasticAsianman]

By "rational thinking" I mean logical thinking. People get lost in Internet argument okay??

Also I happen to know a bit of both musical theory and programming, and I can be damn sure it takes more energy and dedication to make games than to make music. Which is why there're tons of one-man musicians but very few one-man game dev, among which Phil is one.

[Victoly]

Phil isn't an asshole. He's just French.

[Red Curtain]

Rational thinking? I doubt you even know what that means, considering you're using it out of context. What you're referring to is spatial ability.

Saying making games is harder than making music is fucking stupid; "games" and "music" are two broad and generalized categories. You can't say one broad topic is harder than the other. Would you say making a simple platformer in Flash is harder than writing a piece for an orchestra? Also, musicians make more music pieces than game devs make games.

[Red Curtain]

At least Edmund said that he doesn't mind if people pirate his game, since he likes making them for the sake of making them. Phil, on the other hand, had went on about how Fez will make him rich.

[XXXoXXoXXXX]

damn it I just bought fez on steam last night and I've tried everything to get it to work and so far nothing! I understand it's an indie game but not being able to start at it's susequent releases jeezus man!!! and steam why u no let game get tested!!!
