EXP Podcast #176: "Indie Game: The Movie" Debrief

This week, Jorge and I take a trip to the theater and discuss the recently-released Indie Game: The Movie. It's a documentary featuring the creative folks behind three of the most well-known independent games of the past few years: Braid, Super Meat Boy, and Fez. The movie offers a glimpse of the extremely personal journey of making a video game and explores the personal and professional challenges they face along the way. The film has generated a lot of discussion inside the video game community and in broader press and we're looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments! Some discussion starters: - What does the film teach us about the independent scene and the video game industry overall? - Who is this movie for? What can gaming enthusiasts take from it and what might newcomers learn? - What other independent developers would you like to see highlighted in a movie?
