Not at all. I think Indie Game The Movie took a lot of liberties to show him a certain way. I think the stress of it all got to him and now he does other things. I’m more aquatinted with the programmer Renaud from back in the days. I think the media loves a juicy meltdown story and tried to make him a scapegoat for the indie game industry going mainstream.
Indie games not on magazines says more about the indie games at the time, nothing more. How many times you going to feature Jonathan Blow?
Was Phil Fish insufferable? I don’t know, never met him. Did he say some things that were not in alignment with my worldview? Yeah, sure.
I do think Fez, the game, the wonderful spectacularly clever game, was the indie equivalent of a Mario brothers hit.
The void I think you speak of was when XNA died, MonoGame wasn’t quite there yet, people jumped to Unity and it took them awhile to get up to speed in it. Others like me went off and wrote their own engines and stuff, others joined the ranks of the studios.
I think Phil made the best game he could. That’s all that matters. Everything else is superfluous.
