It's been some time since we've heard about the promising-looking Indie Game: The Movie, but now we have a number of exciting developments to talk about. First of all, the official trailer -- it's here!
The film will center around Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes (Super Meat Boy), Phil Fish (Fez), and Jonathan Blow (Braid/The Witness), as shown here. Fans of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP and music in general should appreciate the fact that Jim Guthrie is now on board as the movie's composer.
Finally, Indie Game: The Movie has taken its "final push" to -- where else? -- Kickstarter. By the time you read this, the goal will have likely been met, but that shouldn't stop you from pitching in. Expect the finished documentary to make the rounds this fall.

A few seconds into this trailer for The Swapper and I'm reminded of how uniquely gorgeous the puzzle-platformer looks. There is, after all, a reason why we resort to bringing up The Neverhood in these situations; not enough ...

Notion Games, an indie developer for the upcoming Super Ubi Land ran into a pretty big roadblock recently -- you know, because of that other developer and mega-publisher that has the phrase "Ubi" in it. Yep, that's right, Ubi...
Yesterday, the Skullgirls Facebook page announced that the "Slightly Different Edition" patch was finally available on the Xbox 360 version of the game. The PlayStation 3 version was patched in November of last year...
