I expect great things.

Any suggestions?

I expect great things.

Me too

[Jammo]

Should get Jim Guthrie to do the music - Indie Game: The Movie: The Game: The Soundtrack

[moi]

Any suggestions?

it must involve drowning and gas chambers or I'll be disappointed

[sigfarter]

Is this just a cash in or a huge "Phil Fish is a faggot" project? Because I can get into the latter.

No digital camera has fucking said REC on it with a red dot since like 1912, so much of your screen is taken up by this camera HUD that doesn't even look like what cameras look like.
It bugs the hell out of me when people draw that.

This game would be funnier if you took screencaps from the movie and jiggered the chins up and down to make it looks like they're talking.

@Vincent Kyle Eusebio, any suggestions. Also I just noticed, are you part of the team that made the Journey game?

@Jammo, I talked to James and Lisane when they came to Chicago and they told me that the music for the movie costed tons of money to get the ability to use. So I do not think getting the soundtrack will be in the picture, fear not there are tons of nice Royalty Free music and also we have about 3 musicians on PawByte's team. We just need to see where the future takes us.

@moi, I do not believe a gas chamber feature will be related to this game. If you have any other suggestions please let us know.

@sigvatr, we got the approval to make this game a few months ago. This is just the public release of the fact the game is in development to people like you all. Also we must honor all people.

@I_smell, I see you turned that image to about 256 colors or maybe less. That funny animation system will be funny but it looks pretty weird and scary. Also that Recording box was just an idea. I know when I record with my HD Camera it has simply the red circle on it and saying whether or not its in H.D mode. This game is in pre-alpha so do not expect to see the game looking like this at all.

@TigSource, if anyone will like to get involved in this project please send a pm message.

Sorry I called dibs on this idea way back when IGTM was first announced.

[I_smell]

Well- dibs is dibs, gotta lock this thread.

[Gabriel Verdon]

Can't tell if serious...

[louisdeb]

If you do do this, get an artist. The screenshots don't fit in with the slickness of the art in IGTM.

[theweirdn8]

@PsySal, I do not recall you asking to make a game for IGTM. IF you have, we can work together on this project to help produce the greatest IGTMTG ever!

@I_smell and @Gabriel Verdon
-This is a serious project

@louisdeb, fear not this is what we call "Placeholder" gfx that you see.

Obligatory "indiegame: the movie: the game: the movie" suggestion
