Review of Indie Game: The Movie (2012) by Kimomarudotcom — 16 Jun 2012

A terrific movie that is mostly a must-see for any gamer geek (i.e; gamers that are are into the everything behind the game). Casual gamers might like it, too. However, my main gripe with IGTM is that it doesn't go into enough technical detail. I wish they would have gone into more detail as to why the developers in the movie choose XNA, what their specific educational backgrounds are, and where they think the indie industry will be in ten years, etc. The audience that would have been most enthusiastic about this film would have appreciated more technical substance. They should release an edition of the film that goes much deeper than this. It's produced for a wider audience, one where most viewers would fall asleep during a technical discussion. The developer's personal lives are I think over exposed.

The game's also a GREAT ad for indie games. I hadn't paid much attention to them until this film. Hopefully Fez will come out on PC one day. Good movie, definitely a rent. Buy it when they add more technical content.
