Erin “The Ivy” Robinson (our only Indie Game Artist Spotlight) has posted pictures of an upcoming game of hers called Little Girl in Underland, which is basically her artist’s interpretation of the relatively underground fairy tale, Alice in Wonderland, which was later picked up by the fat cats at Disney and turned into a stupid mainstream movie. The game features “three secret weapons, five secret levels, killing, capitalism, and magic smiling cat,” and blah blah in Soviet Russia game plays you whatever fffffffff. This game will rule and all but I’m afraid of it pushing our beloved indie superstar out of the indie spotlight and into the mainstream blackhole, wherein no light exists.

More pictures after “the jump.”

VillaVanilla’s Opal Night will be an episodic Flash game that will feature a system called “Adaptive long and short term, global and local gameplay and narrative“, which is incidentally the most independently pretentious and vague feature I’ve ever read about in the history of my vague and pretentious indie career. I’m jealous.
