Indie Game: The Movie Page #2

So, with us today is Team Meat...

Team Meat

Everybody in the indie scene...

...is raving about this...

Meat Boy's Coming!

Meat Boy's Coming!

It was all over the place.

This is our biggest interview ever!

? If you've been living

under a rock...

...most anticipated releases

this Fall...

...it is looking AMAZING!

I can not wait to see it done...

We both

approached Super Meat Boy...

...where our goal was to

make a game...

...that our 13 yr. old selves would be

super fan boys of.

Super Meat Boy has been

in development for 11 months.

I know that

13 yr. old Edmund...

...would hear about Meat Boy

right now.

He'd be following us on Twitter.

He'd be that annoying kid

that was like...

Hey, send me a build!

My name is 'Super Meat Boy Fan Boy'

I've registered it; I haven't even

played the game yet.

Get me a demo!?! Co'mon!!!

I'd totally be that.

Because this game is very... me.

And Tommy would say the same.

I want it to be one of those games

that kids would...

...go crazy for on the school yard...

...and passionately argue that

'this game is better than this game'

This is my room...where I grew up.

As a child

Yeah, forever this has been my room.

I have a bunch of posters from

'Nintendo Power'

Way back in the day.

Yeah, this room IS my childhood.

And that's basically

what Super Meat Boy is.

It's my and Edmund's childhood,

put into game form...

By ... seemingly ... adult males.

Super Meat Boy is an upcoming

PC and console game...

... based on a Flash game.

This incredibly hard Flash game that

was super super popular.

It's a game that looks like it's going

to be traditional in a way.

It's a 'Platformer'

This very well know thing.

But it's got a real distinct art style

And a very quirky

point of view.

Super Meat Boy is a retro Platformer.

Where you play as a boy with no skin.

Who's just Meat, basically.

He's trying to rescue his girlfriend,

who is made of bandages...

From an evil doctor,

that's a fetus in a jar...

... wearing a top hat and a monocle.

Dressed in a tuxedo.

During my early years.

Going through school and everything...

It was all 'Mega Man', 'Mario'

and 'Metroid'

Older, very very difficult games.

Every game on this wall...

... 'F Zero' was hard ...

... 'Mega Man' was very difficult.

'Spy Hunter' was stupidly difficult.

In Super Meat Boy,

we get to do whatever we want.

We don't have a publisher.

Or investors.

We don't answer to anybody.

A lot of that is shown in the game.

We get away with a lot of stuff.

We can have Dr. Fetus

give the middle finger.

Because he only has 3 fingers. So it's

not technically his middle finger.

We can put in any sort of humor

or parody that we want.
