I think it has more to do with the fact that : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdQK4Wp10qo#t=3m17s : "Games will deny you content if you are not good enough"

He says so well what it is that's keeping (a lot of) games from ever being truly accessible

Surely there is a funny quote from the Sign Painter(World of Goo).
I don't have the memory for it though

It gets confusing when you introduce yourself with your forum name, while you address eachother by your real names, so stick with one, maybe tell something about what you've done, what you're interested in doing.

having each speaker at the same volume would be appreciated as well.

keep it up!

I am SO up for a chance at this!
If things don't work out, try me out

For now, best of luck and fun making this.

I thought the arcade game was a cute little thing (not the classic game)

[That Game Company]

More successful indies (from recollection and sometimes inference, some not verified):
Colin Northway
2D Boy
Metanet
That Game Company
Hampus Soderstrom / Nabistudios
Three Rings Design
PopCap (I'd argue they started indie)

I don't think our financial future is all that bleak.

I don't know how financial succes is gauged, but I found a quote from Chen saying that they are basically still struggling to make ends meet, even after Flower:

Chi Kong Lui: So financially, are things working out for you right now, that you should be able to continue what you guys are doing?

Jenova Chen: [Laughter] Uh, well it depends, right? So there are very successful indie developers like the guy who made Braid or the World of Goo. Their financial was quite successful so that they don't have to rely on external investment to make their next game. But we are not in that situation. We still need investment to make our next game. So we are very much in the same situation we were when we graduated from school. We have good ideas, but we don't have money. We are looking for people who share...who believe in the idea to invest us to pull it off. The only difference is we have better reputation than we had before. People often ask, "What company? thatgamecompany? What company?" Anyway...

I don't get what I'm doing on the terrace, I'm supposed to pick up stuff, but it's not working

Guess what I found Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer wearing:

The video itself is on the last days of production on Psychonauts, and Schafer career basically.

As for that game, Esquar, how long ado did you see the video, and are there any other details you can recall?

It could be over 2 years old, I think Gainsworthy has the right game in mind, and It's definitely not Overlord. It was a prototype that I don't know they ever developed much further....

EDIT: Now that I think about it, it had a Spore-like look to it as well.

It's not Limbo

Hi, I'm looking for a game of which I have forgotten the name.
I've only seen it as a video, as it was a prototype at the time.
It featured around a 100 blue men/demons/creatures, all just sitting around doing nothing, with a sort of foresty background.
You could take control of 1, move it around, and as soon as you did, the other men started copying you, moving around as well.
You would start to jump and jump on things, and the little blue men starting jumping on rocks, eachothers, over obstacles.

This is really all I remember of this demo, anyone have a clue?

(it might look like pikmin a bit)

Here Anthony Burch from Destructoid talks about your game, and others:

Now I've got to wonder, were the presentations video'd?
I'd love to see some of m

[tutorial]

Here's a good tutorial on the first level

If this doesn't end before the 21st I can still play Flower and Noby Noby Boy, which could end up on my list.
(euro psn cards are sold starting from the 18th)

this game would be seriously awesome with a moddable, online database.
kinda like little big planet.

I got it yesterday. ahem hem:

Extended review:
...
What I did not realise is that  the game relies on the player collecting ALL the puzzle pieces throughout the game, however it provides no incentive to do so other than the fact that they're there.
OVERALL: I wish I could have my $5 back

It's a puzzle game, and each piece represents you solving a particular puzzle.
It's not at all an action game, as your impatience shows you actually wanted, you really need to take your time.
