History Film / IndieGameTheMovie

** Not helped that since then Phil TookALevelInJerkass, alienated most of his fans with many siting him as everything that's wrong with Indie games and canceled Fez II due to backlash.

* ObviousBeta: What Phil showed at PAX 2011 due to a last-minute code change; despite his best efforts, the development build of Fez crashed multiple times, some crashes locking the whole system; fortunately, people were able to play enough of it to know its worth.

On July 24, 2013, Lisanne and James came out with the Special Edition DLC for Steam, containing over an hour and a half of new content, more than the original movie! Epilogues, special insights and more for our consumption and education. BlinkWorks also came out with a super special Limited Edition boxed set containing over 5 hours of new content on 3 DVDs or Blu-rays!

* DevelopmentHell: What Fez went through, much to creator Phil Fish's [[SanitySlippage detriment]], finally being released in April of 2012.

* BadassBeard: Edmund! [[spoiler: I believe at one point during the commentary, he says that Tommy's mom said Edmund had a beautiful face; may be getting the voices mixed up though.]]

* ClusterFBomb: Understandable at the very beginning, when [[spoiler: Tommy discovers that Microsoft didn't put a promised Super Meat Boy ad up on the day of release]], as well as when this is revisited. Smaller ones throughout.

* DVDCommentary: You can select the Team Meat commentary. According to the movie's description, "Edmund [=McMillen=] and Tommy Refenes provide their various insights throughout the film. Hilarious, informative and sometimes outright lies."

* {{Foreshadowing}}: A seemingly inconsequential dialogue has Phil mentioning to [[PennyArcade Jerry Holkins]] how he wanted Fez to cause the kind of conversation over in game secrets older games like Mario had. At the time of the films release no one knew of the disturbingly well hidden cryptography puzzles in Fez that would have numerous forums conversing to find and solve.

* MoodWhiplash: {{Music/SouljaBoy}} [[FunnyMoments reviewing the game]] and CompletelyMissingThePoint, while [[WordOfGod Jonathan]] talks about how he got really depressed, not only because of a natural "post-partum" depression after being committed to a project for so long, but because people failed to see what he thought was most special about the game.

* ForgoneConclusion: It's a bit odd watching the documentary a few months after the fact when you know all three of the games are huge successes.

* ClusterBleepBomb: On the Commentary, when Ed and Tommy talk about how much money exchanged hands for Microsoft to do the promotion, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork that never happened]]. Of course they can't be talking about that stuff; it's legal-related.

* BadassBeard: Edmund! [[spoiler: I believe at one point during the commentary, he says that Tommy's mom said Edmund had [[Bishonen a beautiful face]]; may be getting the voices mixed up though.]]

''Indie Game: The Movie'' is [[CaptainObvious a movie]] made in 2012 by James Swirsky and Lisanne Pajot, Canadian filmmakers who sought to find out just what makes independent game developers tick. Three games and their developers are showcased:

* DoingItForTheArt: The movie posits this as the reason indie games are done the way they are, rough and unpolished and not making every effort to polish.

* Artistic License - Law: Phil Fish may have [[SanitySlippage some issues]], apparently thinking that the worst that could happen if he "cold blooded [[ClusterFBomb fucking]] murdered" [[spoiler: his ex-business partner]] is he could get everyone in trouble and get kicked out of PAX.
