Acerca desta película

Witness a portrait of a new breed of artist: the videogame designer. At first, the only way to make it as a designer in the video game industry was to work with major developers. Now, like in the film industry a generation ago, a new breed of independent auteurs have taken their industry by storm. These programmers have spent years of their lives building entirely new games from the bottom up. Risking everything, their results are deeply personal, visionary works whose success has redefined the gaming industry.

While I've seen better documentaries (like Donkey Kong: A Fistful of Quarters), I still recommend watching this movie. However, watching it on Google play was a bit annoying due to several technical issues. I would love to love Google play movies, but you can find much more stable and cheaper copies on Amazon and steam. I only bought it on here to test out Google Play Movies and because I can watch it on more devices. To be more specific about the technical troubles, I cannot watch it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. I contacted Google about the problem and they were very polite and have some of the best customer service, but ended up with "You need Jelly Bean." (I got the Jelly Bean update a week later, but not to the 'newest' version so it still doesn't work). Also, the movie itself is compressed HORRIBLY at certain parts, with disgusting pixelation and discoloration. Adding up the various parts where this occurs, it's about 5 minutes out of the 106 minute movie, but it should be NONE. Again, strongly recommended movie, and if you really want to use Google Play like I did, then don't expect a superior version.

Man, watching the moments these guys had to go through was so sad and painful. Though so much is to be learned from that. I freaking love it, it's such a great inspiration

What a wonderful film showing you what it's really like try to create an independent game. and the soundtrack from Jim Guthrie is amazing. my favorite part about the film was about Phil Fish Creatre of FEZ. Phil is very creative and talented person and after watching this film and playing FEZ made me really wanted to create my own masterpiece game.
