Indie Game:The Movie (2012)

Updated: Jun 20, 2023

My quick rating - 6,4/10. The game developing process. What goes into it? What are the stressesthat one may endure? This documentary takes a fairly in depth look at

the lives of 3 particular games being developed, and the personal lives

of those creating it (Fez,Super Meat Boy and Braid). Focusing more on

the positive and negative aspects of how the process effects the people

involved is what draws you in. There is no acting, action, etc. just

the real life drama that goes into deadlines, marketing, and all things

aside from what code to put on what page. The presentation may not be

for all viewers but it definitely is interesting to see where a person

can snap, or reap the rewards of years of hard work even when others

wrote them off as crazy. I was personally drawn into the inner

conflicts that were shown to really feel their actual emotions. This flick is a must see

for gamers, that is for sure. As for the casual viewer, I believe this is something interesting enough to see just what goes on day by day in this whole process of game development. (they seem to keep hours like me).

A few streamers have this one but Amazon is the cheapest.
