Wow, I somehow missed that article on the Cry for Help package. Just snatched up a collectors edition.

The man has one of the best art styles in gaming, which is in my opinion only rivaled by 2D Boy’s.

BTW, the music in the trailer, is it from Messer für Frau Müller?

I’d be curious to know which game the one with the shoggoth-like blobs at the top of the page are. Perhaps I’m dense and it’s already been covered…

Looking at that Gun screen shot reminds me of Saboteur on the ZX Spectrum.

Great interview. Every time I read something like this it makes feel a little better about the state of PC gaming. Just to know that there’s some passion and independent thought going on somewhere not governed by cynical marketing and development.

Waiting and wondering what this year’s indie hit will be is genuinely exciting. Compare that with the worries of whether a big budget commercial game previewed for years will have enough talent behind it, whether to believe the sickening hype or whether the bastard thing will actually run and I know where my money will be going.

I some small way, a few years down the line, I’d like to see indie gaming come to the fore and for big developers to realise that continually forcing gaming turds down our throats just doesn’t pay as much as it used to. It will never happen, but… if it did…

You only have to look at Valve to see that it’s working for them and I have all the time in the world for that developer.

Meh, rant over.

I absolutely adore that Hitler concept art.. does that make me an evil person?

Regardless, nice interview, good to see more indie devs making more stuff.
