@HellFlyer

I'm sure the majors aren't wetting their panties at $90,000.

Anyways, this is great to see for an independent project.

12K stands for 12'000 in case you didn't quite catch that.
Good for independent studio, pathetic for a someone like Ubisoft, Activision, etc.

@rullers That being said, how much do Ubisoft, Activision et al sink into developing their games? It's far north of $90,000 I'm sure.

@Dale P

And what games to we generally get out of that massive investment?

If the large pubs were smarter with their investments they wouldn't need to sell more than a million copies to break even.

I welcome the age of the independent game dev just as much as I welcome the age of the label free music world. Intermediaries are quickly becoming irrelevant. I just hope the trend accelerates.

If you're curious about the game, Giantbomb has a great Quick Look of the game.

I'd love to see this as a Steam Play title, I am very interesting in playing this game.

I love old school (current terminology: indie) game development where the emphasis is on providing a fun game for the player, and reaping the financial rewards when that goal is attained. Congrats to all involved.

According to the official Facebook page and a direct response from the developer that it's coming to Mac and maybe consoles.

Can't wait!

I'd love this on PSN and I'm sure others would love it on XBLA.

@birdizzle87 He is not quoting anything. He is putting a word he has made up in quotes. :)

@GiantGamer Unless they have some sort of publishing contract or exclusivity agreement with Microsoft, they may publish the game on any platform they want.

Never heard of this before, but I sure hope Valve are firing up the lawyers. That's the most blatant Portal rip off I've ever seen.
