It's about different things independent game developers are doing to develop games with very few resources.

Your list of engines/middleware is great, I'm looking for an easy physics engine at the moment and hadn't heard of half of these yet.  Thanks for the article!

actually the list miss a lot of stuff but it's rather nice
from the physics engine side for example there ares also ODE (Open Dynamic Engine)and Newton Game Dynamics, the first is opensource and used also by some famous commercial games like call of juarez and Bloodrayne 2, the second is slow but simple to use and with a big fanbase community

Great article, really like the "Efficiency in Design" part which i think is very important when working as an indie developer, look at Audiosurf for example thats really efficient design.
