Contextual Practice

We watched a video documentary called Indie Gamer Movie. It follows the lives of various game developers lives, while they are making games which they intend to sell of either the Xbox live market place, Steam (for pc) or the PlayStation store. The documentary focuses on three games. Fez (Phil Fish) Super Meat Boy (Edmund McMillen, Tommy Refenes) and Braid created by Ryan C. Gordan.

I made some notes about what impression these people gave me after watching them being interviewed about their careers.

Rules for making Indie Games:

-never sleep
-work hard
-make your games personal and meaningful
-earn it

Rules for making AAA games:
-move to America
-do as you are told
