Exhibit A

Indie developers are so awesome. Consider exhibit A, which comes from Giant Sparrow. Astute readers will recall when we covered their game, The Unfinished Swan, as part of the Independent Games Festival. The so-called first person painting game places you in a blank world where you fire paint baloons to reveal the corners and edges of the terrain. It’s an oily black game of discovery with just a hint of fear.

With the next IGF looming, it’s good to know that last year’s contenders are still alive and well. The Unfinished Swan still doesn’t have a public playable build, but they’ve been updating their blog with cool paint “research” and other excuses to make a big mess. Go have a look and give them internet high fives.
