I’d say “a bunch of” instead because that’s what it is, it’s a bunch of videos but obviously not videos of all games entered. the distinction between all games entered and all games that have a video posted on its submission page isn’t really meaningful to make.

I >just< created a video for "Restraining Order".
If you could add it to your immense list,
I would be most appreciative.

Added Melolune. Thanks!

Thank-you for compiling all of these! I’ve gotten through about one third of them… they’re a lot of fun to watch.

I actually just uploaded a video for my game (Melolune) today… here is the link if you’d like to add it to the master list:

So how would you phrase it, Marcus?

By: Marcus

Marcus — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:58:20 +0000

Yeah, but when you say “[...] I was able to compile all the videos of the games entered in the Independent Games Festival [...]” it’s easy to misinterpret.

By: Michaël Samyn

Michaël Samyn — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:46:07 +0000

That’s why it says “all videos” and not “all games”. The list contains all videos of the games submitted to the competition. But not all developers have submitted a video.

If we missed any, please let us know.

You probably shouldn’t call it “All IGF 2010 vidoes” because there was obviously more than 170 games submitted. People might get the idea that these actually are all the entries, ignoring the 130 or so other entries.

Exactly, I meant that. Excuse me for the mistake.

I think you mean Critical Gameplay, Jorge. ;)

By: Jorge

Jorge — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:24:57 +0000

I’ve been amazed by the work of Critical Games, specially by their work in Bang!

“Bang! [1998], a game that allows the player to kill other players , but by killing them the player must endure a long interruptive experience which forces the player to review the fictive history of their victim.”

I think the implications of killing someone use to be ignored in games. You kill 100, 200, 300 people and the worst thing that happens to you is that you get more ammo from the corpses. If that polygons you shoot at are using a human appereance then they have to have human traits.

I thank this approach to the subject.

Thanks for putting this together! I gotta find time to sit down and watch these, a lot of great stuff (and a lot of competition…).

Also, I didn’t have a video when I submitted my game (Quanta) and I just got the IGF folks to post it up on the entry page, my video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfcSsaU7pBg if you want to add it.

Thanks, yamama. I’ve removed the double. But QuitIt is in the main competition. I don’t think there’s a limitation as to what console the game is made for.

By: yamama

yamama — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:51:23 +0000

Oh sorry, I was talking about the youtube list and the iPhone game is QuitIt

By: yamama

yamama — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:49:41 +0000

there’s a duplicate called Liegze or something and also an iPhone game, that shouldn’t be in the main competition

I haven’t seen them all but I trust my discernment in telling which games are worthwhile. I felt disappointed with all the clones and the spiritual sequels of the remakes. Again, there’s a matter of quantity over quality that mirrors the indie gaming scene quite accurately, in my opinion.

Sine Causa seems to be something completely off the wall. A Slow Year is also a rather interesting surprise but I’m still waiting on Bogost’s final answer as to whether I’ll be able to run the game properly on my PAL Atari VCS or not. (keeping fingers crossed!)

Apart from that I still think that last year’s festival was a bit more… fruitful. Thanks for your hard work putting all these videos together. Such an indiegame-friendly initiative!

Thanks a lot!
…I wish I had teatime for watching them…
…but I will find a way to make it…

Thank you! I only wish the increase in number would equal the increase in quality. Although I agree that a few are very promising. As always, it’s the few.

I’ll be interviewing Trauma creator Krystian Majewski very soon. He says it’s due for release later this year so I’m dreaming of a traumatic Christmas.

Now… to the videos!
