The Caravel devs will "enjoy" this documentary I think, even
if parts of it might be too close to the bone for comfort.

It's been out for a few years now, but I just came across it because I was reading about Jonathan Blow whilst playing the Witness, and he's one of the four developers featured in this documentary.

FWIW I found the cheapest way to watch it was to rent from amazon.com - I don't understand why Google charges double.

I remember watching this movie and being able to relate to many parts of it. I don't recall feeling uncomfortable witnessing any kindred aspects of the development process. Can't say I'd bank my family's future on indie game development, but it's been gratifying to be creative in this way, learn so much, and produce goodness with so many wonderful individuals. It's an amazing journey.

Great movie. Loved it.

It made me feel a little sad, like... I've grown out of this spirit. It doesn't sound as fun to put all effort into a game like these guys did. I've got a better life as a result of rounding myself out.
