A special-edition version of the 2012 documentary Indie Game: The Movie has been announced.

Indie Game: The Movie featured the developers of Super Meat Boy.

This edition will be released on July 24 and will include 300-plus minutes of footage, which include epilogues for the developers featured in the film. It also includes additional commentary tracks from developer Team Meat's Edmund Mcmillen and Tommy Refenes, as well as from directors Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky.

Film buffs can buy this edition through Steam for $15. Fans who own the first film can get it for $5. Physical copies for the film are also available: the DVD boxed set costs $69, while the Blu-ray version costs $89. Customers who preorder the sets will instead pay $59 for the former and $69 for the latter. The boxed sets will not ship until August.

Indie Game: The Movie chronicles the lives of indie video game developers and the trials they endure to follow their passion. The developers featured in the film include Team Meat (Super Meat Boy) and Phil Fish (Fez).

I actually really enjoyed this movie. As a guy who's of the same age group of the developers featured in this movie, I can say that in many ways, I felt a sort of connection to their journey -- that is, their drive and aspirations as indie-game developers (not that I'm a developer).

As both a kid of the 80's and game-developing hobbyist myself, I found this documentary to be inspirational while my wife found it to be depressing.

If you haven't seen it, I recommend doing so on Netflix, which is where I saw it a year ago.

DLC for a movie... now I've seen it all. Those physical prices are insane as well.

i saw the original indie game the movie, and it sucked, 90 % of the time they only showed the developers of Super Meat Boy and Fez.

@KumaTenshi29 I am pretty sure that comes with all the games featured as well in the movie.
