Indie developers are the starving artists of the video-game world, often brilliant and innovative, but also misunderstood, underfunded and more prone to writing free-form poetry on their LiveJournals. We believe they deserve a wider audience with the Joystiq Indie Pitch: This week, Guillaume Boucher-Vidal, founder and CEO of Nine Dots Studio, talks the craft of customization, XBLIG sales and launching near Diablo 3, with Brand. What's your game called and what's it about?

The game is called Brand and it's about building a sword fit for a king. The game is in 3D, but the gameplay is in 2D. It features three large explorable levels, in a somewhat similar fashion to games of the Metroidvania genre, although a little simpler.

How do you support yourselves, working full-time at Nine Dots with no salary? Is it worth it?

I had saved up about $25,000 before starting the business, and I started doing a few consulting jobs to fill in my pockets a little whenever I can. Some guys work on the side, while others get support from their parents. It's not an ideal situation for anyone, but we try to make the most of it.

We're all young and it's the right time to make these sacrifices. I think it's definitely worth it. The experience is unique, and even if Nine Dots was to fail, we'd still have a very strong portfolio piece, a unique background and we'd be of the very few developers who could proudly say: "We made the game we wanted to make, the way we wanted to do it." Some people have been in the industry for 15 years and can't say that.

It's always a welcome relief to see a Kickstarter project transition into being an actual, released product, especially when it's as nice to look at as Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. Developer Black Forest Games has released the world-shifting platformer on PC through GOG, Gamersgate, and Steam - where it is only the second Greenlight pick ever to make it to release.

Through October 30, all three retailers are offering 10 percent off the $14.99 purchase price, so there's an incentive to check it out soon even if you didn't already buy into it via Kickstarter.

Introducing the all new co-op mode!
High above the clouds, there drifts a sad, derelict remnant of a once lively little drifter town... it was ruthlessly attacked by pirates intent on sacking the plump little plum in the sky, but in their greed they sank their own ship under the weight of the first load of plunder! A tempest wind soon thereafter arrived, driving the now un-manned island town far from where it had laid anchor for trade. The inhabitants had hastily fled during the pirate attack, but in so doing left all of their goods, munitions, and rum.... LOTS OF RUM. During one of his many pleasure cruises in his glorious, kingly dirigible, the KING happened to stumble across the abondoned stockpile. He immediately siezed the derelict under his sovereign authority, claiming the rum (and other less important supplies) for his own reserves. BUT!! Providentially, the surviving pirates of the pillaging snaffu had regrouped and showed up just shortly after the KING set up base, and thus found their long-lost gem in the hands of a beligerent, crown-waving baffoon. Having tasted some of the finest rum of the barrels his fat arse now reclined upon, their course of action was clear... This meant WAR!

Features
-Join up with your friends to protect the rum in the new 1-3 player co-op map, Royal Rum-Bowl!
-Adjust and rebuild your maze after enemy pirates bomb, smash and utterly destroy your towers with randomized enemies and events!
-Compete in 3 new leaderboard for solo, duo and trio scores!
-Enjoy other goodies like a new environment, achievements and music!
"Featuring the new and improved steel plate hex, state-of-the-art craftsmanship of the KINGs own forges! Unfortunately, it has virtually no affect on towers built upon them... it simply has the appearance of being tougher."

Join the fight!

- Improved Achievement Code Validation
- Added Abort Button to the Mission Page on the Mission Computer
