    The Loyalty Bundle!

    Just in time for Christmas, we're super happy to be part of something called the 'Loyalty Bundle'.  

    For just $15, you get...

    This is Not a Conspiracy Theory

    Rewind This!

    & Indie Game: The Movie

    OR...

    If you've purchased any of these films from thier websites, you get the bundle for FREE!

    It's  a documentary film bundle that is not only a great deal - $15 for three great films - but also aims to reward those audience members who bought into IGTM and/or the other films in the bundle early.

    Here's how it works:

    1) If you've never bought any of the invloved movies before, purchase the bundle for $15 and enjoy these great docs.

    2) If you've bought either IGTM, 'This is Not a Conspiracy Theory' or 'Rewind This' via VHX.com.  Go to http://loyaltybundle.vhx.tv and claim the films.

    We think it's a pretty cool idea (huge thanks to Kirby Ferguson from TINACT for putting this together).  Hopefully you do to. Check it out here.

     

    Merry Christmas!

    Binding of Isaac: Origins

    Hey Everyone!

    Crazy to think, but today, Edmund's game 'The Binding of Isaac' turns three!  

    BOI Interview:  To celebrate, we wanted to share a piece that is a part of the IGTM Special Edition.  It’s an extended interview we did with Edmund post-IGTM, post-BOI, in which he shares the origin story of BOI.  It’s a compelling story and some really nice insight into Ed’s creative  process.  Check it out below.

    BOI Rebirth:  Also, super excited news, if you haven't heard it yet.  BOI is getting a remake.   The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a wholly new, much-expanded, completely-re-done version of the amazing BOI.

    The game is coming out November 4th on Steam (followed by a ton of other platforms sometime later), and is currently up for preorder here.  Protip:  If you already own BOI, a preorder will get you a 33% discount.

    Want to See More?  And if you’d like it and want to see more, you should consider picking up the IGTM Special Edition, which contains the original IGTM film, plus an additional 130 minutes of short films, epilogues and interviews like this one.  For BOI Fans in particular, there is another interview about BOI Design included in the IGTM Special Ediiton.

    Special Edition Discount:  Use the code ‘ISAAC!’ and receive 50% off the IGTM Special Edition

    Hope you enjoy.

    Now go preorder Isaac!
