Jay<\/a> and Corvus<\/a> got together and decided to tackle a lot of the overlooked questions in last Friday’s Indie Games Debate<\/a>. They were nice enough to start with the questions I posed earlier this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I particularly liked Corvus’ answer to my second question. I don’t want to steal his thunder by excerpting him here, so just check it out for yourself<\/a>. Also, I should point out that Amanda Fitch answered my questions here in the comments<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I stand corrected on my assertion that Indie games are “mostly” RPG’s. I forget that indie games include all the casual Popcap-type games, Tower Defense knockoffs, and match-3 clones. Aside from the time I needed to go into detox to get rid of a nasty Zuma<\/a> addiction a few years ago, I don’t really play a lot of attention to those sorts of games. So, my assertion that indie games = RPG’s is the result of my own bias, because those are the developers I read and follow.<\/p>\n

And finally, a new (to me) developer was nice enough to stop by but was shy about “spamming” my comments with his project website. Let me just make it official: If you have an indie game you’re working on, you’re always welcome to drop a link in the comments or in an email.
