We have parodies of 'Street Fighter'

and 'Castlevania'...

... 'Mega Man' intros

... 'Bubble Bobble'

'Super Meat Boy' will release

on Xbox in 7 months.

People want to know:

Is this game going to be substantial?

Or is it just all the quirk

and character?

A lot of people think it's

going to be ...

... along the lines of Castle Crashers

In 2008, 'Castle Crashers' and 'Braid'

were the 2 games that...

... really made people look at go:

'Oh, I can download games on my Xbox.'

People are expecting this game to be

the next big thing on 'XBLA'.

As long as it comes out

and does something ...

Even if it made me $ 20,000

over the next 2 years or something...

That would be enough

to make the next game.

Based on

what I'm living off right now.

And I'd have to do that, because...

I'm not going

to go work at 'EA' or 'Epic'.

That sounds horrible.

That sounds like Hell to me.

So, if it comes out

and people don't like it.

And people hate it.

And it has a Metacritic score

of, like, 20.

And everyone thinks its awful...

It doesn't make a difference

because ...

Even though it's a game

that people are supposed to buy ...

... it's not a game

that I made 'for people'.

I made it for myself.

Ed and I made it as a reflection

of ourselves.

And we tried to make it as fun

and as accessible as possible.

Whatever. If people want

'Modern Warfare' or 'Halo Reach'...

...that's fine because I think

those games are sh*t.

If that's what people want.

Then they don't want my games.

Because I don't make sh*t games.

If you follow Indie Games...

... even remotely ...

'FEZ' is one of the projects that

you've been hearing about for a while.

It's been several years in development

FEZ has been in development

for the past 3 years.

FEZ will be memorable for

it's release ....

... or for never coming out.

And the winner is...

FEZ!

So FEZ wins an award at the IGF...

It was hardly finished.

It won on the back of small tech demo.

In the clear blue sky ...

... an awards ceremony ...

Within a week, I saw it on

EVERY major gaming website.

My name is Phil.

I'm an independent game developer.

It's mostly about this little 2D guy.

Who lives in a 2D world.

And then one day realizes that

the world is 3D.

All of a sudden, Phil,

who is making this game on his own...

... with a grant from

the Canadian government.

Is some Indie Gaming Rock-star.

This is f***ing awesome.

Phil is trying to walk around

in a Cubist painting.

That's what FEZ is ...

... you're walking around

a cubist painting.

2D characters in a 3D rotating world.

At any point, you're only

seeing one side of the world.

And everybody is clamoring.
