In Memory of Stan Lee

A true "Marvel" of a man, Stan Lee was first a comic book author, then took off in fame when his superheroes began starring in movies. The best movie (in my opinion) that the late Lee participated in is the animated "Big Hero 6". An interesting collaboration between Marvel and Disney Animation, BH6 is about five youths and a healthcare robot whose "superpowers" come not from some confusing and unlikely origin story, but from real science. The group must work together to stop a mysterious masked villain who has stolen the protagonist's biggest invention--an army of 'microbots' that can perform virtually any task while controlled by a special neural interface. Being both Disney characters and Marvel characters, the six have likely already been featured in video games. Here's my own take:

You start as Hiro Hamada, the movie's main character. In the opening levels, the objective is simply to navigate different puzzles using the microbots. After progressing a short ways, you unlock Baymax the healthcare robot. At first, he is just a white blobby robot who follows you around:

But as a healthcare robot, Baymax has a readily apparent role in any video game: If you, as Hiro (or later, any of the others) get hurt--which can happen as the levels get harder--simply rendezvousing with Baymax can restore your health bar.
Once Baymax is unlocked, the other characters will start to appear as NPCs. You might glimpse GoGo testing a magnetic-suspension bike, Wasabi organizing tools near his precision laser cutter, Honey Lemon doing chemical experiments, or Fred hanging around reading a comic book. You might even glimpse the robotics professor, Robert Callaghan.

(Side note: Fred in the movie is one of BH6's shout-outs to Marvel. He is obsessed with superheroes in comic books and often dresses up as a cartoon monster. A glimpse of his family portrait, and the movie's after-credits scene, reveals that Stan Lee, or at least the animated version, is Fred's father. The after credits scene can be found here.)
The cameo in the movie
Once you've familiarized yourself with the basic game mechanics, disaster strikes. In a level resembling the exposition center from the movie, Hiro suddenly has his microbot controller taken away from him (the keys the player would control the microbots with will no longer do anything) by a mysterious figure in a mask. As the villain leaves, he sets the level on fire, requiring the player to escape without the aid of the microbots. In the next level, the player unlocks two new power-ups: One is a microbot compass that will point the way through upcoming levels, the other is the ability to play as Baymax, who now has armor and a host of new karate-style moves. (these will come in handy, since there will be minor enemies made of microbots that must be fought along the way).

The masked villain puts in another brief appearance, in a level that also reunites the player with the other NPCs. At this point, they now become unlocked as playable characters; the player will now be able to switch between characters at will. Each one unlocks a new "superhero" form and powers: Gogo has special super-fast skates and a pair of returning sharp-edged disk weapons, Wasabi has precision laser-cutting gauntlets to slice through things with his hands, Honey Lemon has a purse that can launch blobs of bouncy or sticky goo, and Fred has a monster suit that can jump extra-high and breathe fire. Hiro gains a new suit that allows him to ride on the back of the once-again upgraded Baymax, who can now fly. The scenes that inspired this upgrade are found here and here.

The boss battle features the masked villain with an army of microbots and a strange portal, which your protagonist gets to travel through in the end scene, revealing the identity and motives of the masked villain. (No spoilers here!)

Stormdew Valley

After years of years fighting with the X-men, Ororo Munroe, decided to retire. As a gift for the years they worked together, Professor-X gave her a old farm plot in Stormdew Valley.

Equipped with only the old tools and her weaker but functional powers she will have to work hard to turn the overgrown fields into a thriving home!


The game starts with Ororo Munroe, arriving at the train station, once she steps out the train, she is greeted by a NPC named: Kitty Pryde, at the end of the conversation Ororo asks if she knows where the Xavier Farm for Gifted Gardeners, she says that she knows where it is and that she thought that it was abandoned, They head towards the farm, when they arrive another dialogue pops up, and she wishes her good luck.


The game revolves around Storms relationship with her neighbors, having a balanced life between work and friendship. At this age, Ororo powers are very weak, and stress plays a huge role in her strength, if the player stops talking to people, she will get more and more stressed causing her powers to fail or act in unexpected ways, and possibly damage your crops.

Stress if not the only problem in the game, because not everyone likes mutants, and this and your actions have consequences.

Indie Game the Movie Review


Indie game the movie was quite inspirational along with informative. Not only did it show the hardships and mental/physical toll that indie gamers often endure, but it showed the possibility of triumph, of outstanding success that follows such dedication and commitment. It reinforced video game design is a realistic option in my mind.

indie games

I really enjoyed this documentary it shows really well how stressful these guys lives are  and how easily  it can all go wrong making years of hard work be worth nothing.I think my favorite game showed in the documentary was Super Meat Boy. I think it was a better game all around and the people working on it seemed a lot more clam and human. the fez guy was a little crazy  and the guy that made brave didn't seem very relatable but that might have been just because the documentary didn't spend much time talking with him.

Phil Fish Is Terrible

Phil Fish is a god offal indie game developer. He promises that the game would be released soon but then goes and remakes the whole thing. Then he goes and gets triggered when people start to say bad things about him and his game. He then goes and starts to threaten people and think that is fine. I think that we should send Phil Fish to an insane asylum for him acting like a psycho so he can go an get help. In the end Phil Fish is just little boy who is stuck in a grown mans body.
The documentary was very inspirational and it showed the hard times the developers had to go thought to make there games.It showed the possibility of hard work and at the end everything will work out.

IndieGame: The Games

Three games were mentioned in the movie IndieGame: Braid, Super Meat Boy, and Fez. Braid was only mentioned at the beginning, but appeared to be a typical fantasy/adventure. In the movie, Braid is the exemplary "successful indie game", selling just over 10,000 copies on the day of release. Super Meat Boy is the adventure of the titular protagonist, who attempts to save his girlfriend by traversing a maze full of dangers, mostly spinning saws. The twist: Meat Boy is 'not just a guy made of steaks...he has no skin'. (Quote from the game developers in the movie). As he climbs and jumps, Meat Boy leaves a trail of red particles that mark his progress; if he dies to a saw, that saw will remain red and "bloody" even after he respawns. The experience appears extremely painful, and is used as a motivation for Meat Boy to rescue his girlfriend, because she is made of bandages. The developers are quoted as saying 'she completes him, both metaphorically and literally'. I can see the intended purpose here, but I personally find the idea of a skinless protagonist disgusting.
Fez, on the other hand, is described as 'a stop-and-smell-the-roses kind of game...there's no boss fight...it's meant to be a relaxing gameplay' by its developer, speaking at a convention he attended despite a falling-out with one co-developer. The protagonist of Fez is a small white stick figure with a wide head, traversing what first appears to be the typical side-scroller environment...until he receives a cube-shaped fez and gains the power of three dimensions. With this power, Fez's protagonist can turn corners and access the other sides of the previously flat-looking towers (though the overall graphics still mostly show two dimensions). A big fan of relaxing gameplay, I much prefer Fez over Super Meat Boy (and probably also over Braid--not sure because of lack of footage and description).

Indie Game: The Movie Favorite Creator

         Edmund was probably my favorite creator in Indie Game: The Movie. I think this because even though he had a wife, he was able to make the game day after day while being able to spend time with her. I also liked how he never gave up on his friend Tommy and encouraged him to keep going when he thought he couldn't. Edmund was also a good creator because the day of release he didn't care how much they sold the first day and didn't check the sales so he could be either disappointed or exited.

Indie Game Movie

My favorite part of the movie was following the people who made Super Meat Boy and the process it went through. It was also cool seeing it become a success.

indie game the movie

Indie game the movie is a movie about 3 games roads to creation and how hard it was to release these games to the world. personal favorite was super meat boy  a game about a boy with no skin who has to save his girl friend from a fetes in a jar.
