The two-person team behind
Indie Game: The Movie just released a new trailer for the increasingly epic project, featuring developers Team Meat, Phil Fish, and Jonathan Blow as they pour their lives into their games. If you want to see how a film can draw genuinely interesting visuals out of “people talking about making games,” look no further than the trailer after the break.
Those visuals will also be accompanied by interesting sounds: filmmakers James Swirsky and Lisanne Pajot announced today that Sword & Sworcery EP composer Jim Guthrie is creating the music for the film.

Basically, they need to bring more people in: “We’re looking for help with the finishing costs of the feature film (audio, colour, and mastering) in order to make this movie the best possible version of itself.” Available rewards for helping them reach the $ 35,000 goal include digital, DVD, or extended Special Edition copies of Indie Game: The Movie, t-shirts, and credits in the film. Go help out! We want to see this movie!

Speaking to French website Barre de Vie, Valve spokesman Doug Lombardi was characteristically cryptic, simply saying “yes” when asked if the company had its own free-to-play projects in the works.
