Indie games- The movie.

Video game Questions

1.       What are some of the difference between “big games” and “independent games” in terms of style/concepts they make?

The big game companies are more focused on refined and polished games. Whereas the indie games are focused on far more simpler games that have simple shapes and it’s a lot more personal.

2.       What are some of the difficulties that the developers in the film had to overcome?

The developers had no safety net, meaning if they fail there is no second chance, it is like if they fail that is it.

3.       What do you think about working on an indie game? What do you think you might not like?

Probably not, since I would like to have a life. I like the idea of making your own creation and showing it to the public, however, if I were to start an indie game I would have to make every game a success because there is no safety net if I fail.

4.       What is some advice you can offer to someone who is trying to create their own game?

Try not to obsess over the little details and try to add a little bit of personality into the game otherwise it would be lame, and dull.

5.       For the developers what is the best part about the completion of a game?

It was the feeling that they finally finished what they meant to do, the game is a part of themselves. In a way it was like they finally have done something with their life.
