TMA: I’m not really a fan of electronic golf games. In fact, the more realistic they are, the less interested I am. Mini-golf games, on the other hand, can be quite entertaining given the right dash of something. In the case of Wonderputt, it’s the way the holes are set up. I’m not just talking about level design, either.
Kongregate has begun to secure exclusives for its digital storefront. Expect the sequels to Anodyne and Wonderputt to stick to Kartridge around launch.
Damp Gnat's Reece Millidge talks about the difficulties of wearing multiple development hats during indie creative projects. And about burning down your shed.

John Bedford (Modojo): In an earlier, much less interesting and enjoyable life, I used to sell franking machines: those great big hulking mail-stamping devices you see in office post-rooms the world over.

Suffice to say, I got pretty good at it.
