Indie Game: The Movie

Has anyone else watched this? A great documentary outlining the effort required to create three indie games.

There’s a sale on at the moment. The movie is only US$4.99. Definitely worth it.

Does it have anything enlightening for people who are more or less aware of the processes involved in game development?

Not so much on a technical level, but you get to see the story of what these developers go through on a personal/emotional level making these indie games. The film is largely about what drives them to create these games. Each game is shown at a different stage of development: Braid after it has been completed, Super Meat Boy at the time of release, Fez nearing completion, so you get to see a variety of angles.
