Formerly known as ‘Indie Plane Crash’

DuringDyscourse‘s Kickstarter campaign, the team at Owlchemy came up with a cool idea: take the basic idea of a bunch of weirdos stuck on a desert island and use indie game developers instead. They are probably still weirdos. It was then dubbed “Indie Plane Crash;” now it is called “Indie Island.”

The free add-on is available now to both Kickstarter backers and latecomers alike. Players take on the role of Emily Park, an unknown game developer on her way to the Game Developers Gathering. She and ten better-known indie developers are on a plane and it crashes. What bad luck.
