More Tales of Indie Developers
In 2003 & 2004 I largely ignored GamaSutra.com, as I was no longer involved in mainstream game development and I the website had very little to offer to the indie game developer. This has changed, and it seems that every week GamaSutra has an article or two focused on indie game development.

Is this a sign of the times? It'd be nice. The wheel keeps turning, and while it undoubtable will turn again, it's nice to see an improved emphasis (and power) given to the small studios again.

I imagine many of the indie community have already seen these, but in case you haven't:

Introversion's Bedroom Programmer Survival Guide

How To Succeed At Indie Development (notes from the Toronto Independent Games Conference on Battlegoat's lecture)

Podcast Interview with John Baez (Alien Homenid) Part1 and Part 2

Democracy Now: Interview with Torque X Developer Garage Games

Will Casual Games Dominate the Future of the Industry? (Hint: The answer is "No." But they are no longer an insignificant player)

Event Wrapup: Casuality Seattle

And a few older Indie Game Postmortems:

Gibbage

Eets: Hunger. It's Emotional (I gotta say, I can't stand the name...)

Insignia (Interesting in that they obtained the D20 license from Wizards of the Coast for this game).

Rocketbowl

Oasis (which also won GameTunnel's and the IGF's Game of the Year award)

Wik & The Fable of Souls

Gish

Star Chamber

Enjoy!
