>Has licensing deals with Amazon and Netflix>Has Dana Terrace working on a show>Chris Sabet is voicing a character on another showThey're not on the same levels as Disney or Warner Bros, but calling them Indie feels wrong.
>>152793604It's called selling out
Indie means independent not obscure you dumb fuck
>>152793698Is Disney independent?
>>152793734is Shaft independent? is Sunrise independent? is ILM independent?
you just said this in the tadc thread
>anons are still throwing a crying tantrum over glitch's success
>>152793747I don't know, are they?
>>152793778OP here. I could care less if they're successful. They're not making anything that really peaks my interest other than the Gaslight District.
>>152793604The moment they can get out more than like 3 episodes a year is when they are no longer small potatoes. Or they make a feature film. One of the two.
No money? Bohemian. $20? Indie. $40? Freelancer. About $50? Capitalist.
>no more SMG4
>>152794750That shit hasn't been funny in years. It should've stop a long time ago.
>>152793604they are on a higher level
They're AA
>>152795968Alcoholics Anonymous?
>>152793604They aren't under the union, so no
>>152793604Does calling Undertale, Hades or Hollowknight indie feel wrong as well? Glitch doesn’t have investors except the consumers that buy the merch. So therefore it’s independent, it’s indie. Amazon is the equivalent of Nintendo putting Undertale on its store. You get a little money for licensing but I guarantee you Amazon isn’t funding any of it fully or everything would be branded with some shit like “Amazon Presents” in the show itself. If you start seeing those then Amazon footed the full bill. Until then this shit is still indie.
>>152793656>having talented people working with you means you've sold out
>>152793734Well, they technically are. But Disney doesn't make anything. They have smaller internal companies make stuff and oversee it, and those companies are not independent.

>>152793604those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it
>>152793604There was an indie film called Cloud Atlas which starred Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Jim Sturgess, Ben Whishaw, Hugo Weaving, and Hugh Grant, all playing 5 to 6 different roles each (including yellowface, gender-swaps, a cannibal tribesman, etc.). It had a $150 million budget, was directed in part by the Wachowskis, and stands as the most expensive independent film to date.Never underestimate what you can do when you go indie.
>>152798201I await for when the Digital Circus movie basically completely kills Glitch the same way Jonah did to Big Idea
>>152793604Dana Terrace and Chris Sabet are nobodies in the grand scheme things. The sketchy stuff is Amazon and Netflix.
>>152798245Unless episode 9 is close to feature length, chances are there's not going to be a Digital Circus movie.
>>152797572>Glitch doesn’t have investors except the consumers that buy the merch. So therefore it’s independentIs Valve indie?
>>152797572Glitch gets ABC money, but so do a lot of indie studios.
>>152793698Independent at what level? Because if you mean independent at a corporate finance level then indie means nothing
>>152793604>Australia studio>Hire fucking Americans for all the creative processes and actingThanks, guys. 'preciate the support for your own country.
>>152798762Indie stands for independent, at least it used to. Obviously nowadays people refer to indies as smaller companies (usually) like start-ups and so on. Perhaps the definition has changed but still, being an independent game developer technically means you're an indie as you are not tied to an external publisher.
>>152794750SMG4 died when Meggy showed up and wasn't allowed to say the word retard.
>>152793734I think they were until they bought everything. Now they're basically the industry.I'd say they were still indie until the Walt and maybe Roy died. Despite their success they were outsiders to the entertainment industry
>>152793747ILM isn't because Disney bought Lucas film. I'd consider Japan independent from Hollywood but I wouldn't really use the indie/industry distinction for Japan as a whole
>>152798762I'd say so but I'm not a gamer. Either way comics and cartoons, dude. It's one thing to draw a comparison if the example can help you state a point but let's not start a bunch of whataboutism about non-/co/ topics.
>>152793604They're not indie for any reason that makes sense according to the literal definition of the word. They're indie because they have a small roster of shows that takes them months just to make one episode for.
>>152793604Any animation studio that isn't listed in the stock exchange or owned by a big corporation should be considered indie.
