Out of the Mouths of Babes: The Tim Interviews

By: Derek Yu

On: April 23rd, 2008

Tim W., editor of the almighty IndieGames.com blog, has compiled a list of his awesome indie developer interviews, including one with the notorious MDickie.

His latest interview, with Tommy Refenes (shown above), is not currently in the list, but must be read at all costs. Tommy’s multiplayer action/strategy game Goo! was an IGF finalist this year. A public PC demo of the game is available from his website.

P.S. Tim, I still want to do an interview with you. Please return my calls! :-*

Indygamer Is Dead

Hey, remember a little while ago when Tim was talking about selling his blog, getting out of the game, and living the rest of his days in quiet solitude atop a tower of pure currency? Well, thank goodness, he has changed his mind! Sort of.

It seems Simon Carless has finally found the true purpose for that (sweet, juicy) “IndieGames.com” domain that’s been lying around. Classy ladies and fine gentlemen, I present to you: Indie Games: The Weblog — Tim’s new and improved blog (and latest member of the CMP Game Group).

Update your bookmarks, folks! Indygamer is now officially defunct. But no worries — Tim and Simon (who I hear is “made of unicorn giggles and other
miracles”) have made it clear that this partnership will only improve upon the Indygamer foundation, not alter it.

In short: new name, new domain, higher visibility, funding…
Same great taste.

Oh, and best of luck to you, Tim! Here’s to many more years of unrelenting journalism. :)
