Watch Halfbrick And Obsidian Devs Open Up About Indie Games And XBLIG

Ever wondered how viable the XBLIG channel is for starting up an indie studio? These are the types of questions asked in the upcoming GameLoading documentary, which seems to be bursting at the seams with chats to notable game making veterans. In the below videos, Luke Muscat of Halfbrick Studios and Chris Avellone of Obsidian Entertainment talk about their earlier days, and give some advice to would-be indies.

Luke Muscat talks about trying to use the XBLIG channel in the US to publish all the great early ideas the studio was pumping out, and also has some choice advice.

Chris Avellone talks about what it’s like working on indie games as opposed to indie games.

Our thanks to GameLoading for sharing these videos with us. GameLoading is currently on a quest to become a full length feature about indie game development, and you can support it on its Kickstarter page.
