I looked deeper into the article. There's some positively exciting indie stuff in there! 'Apotheon'. 'Contrast'. 'Lovers In A Dangerous Space Time'. 'Clark'. A remake of 'Oddworld'. A new RPG-version of 'Shadowrun'. 'Gunpoint'. 'Distance'. 2013 is gonna be the year of the indie PC game. Very cool!
If you're interested in Distance, you should definitely check out
Nitronic Rush. It is a great game, especially considering it is a student project. And you can download it for free! I could easily see it being sold on Steam as an indie game, so I'm super excited to see what they can do in Distance.
