Quotes (from this video)
- please explain painting Optical camouflage on spaceships I know rule of cool I don't know it just looked neat I guess that's the same thing
- all the stls that you buy or whether you buy the stuff through uh only games like if you get them printed like if you don't have a printer yourself they can do print on demand as well with those with those same six figures basically it's a 50/50 split
- it's literally you take off the little silicone kind of cover that goes over the whole nozzle thing so you don't burn yourself on it I guess you take that off you pop off the plastic thing there's a little clip little metal clip you uncp it and then you pull the nozzle out and the nozzle is magnetized so it doesn't like fall out as soon as you uncp it
- I saw a thing on Facebook about a machine that you just dump all your old pla into and it'll melt it all down and then create a new pla spool which I'm like well that sounds like an awesome idea
- I think they're that scared of 3D printing I think they don't want to do it
- I don't think that's really that's not the point is to to beat Games Workshop
- you create a game like Vince and I do or like fat dragon games does or like lots of different companies you create a game because you want to do it you're not out there to be like the best you're out there to put out a game that you enjoy and then hopefully people will pick up and enjoy as well

Pros
- Great creative freedom to design and customize warbands
- Rules designed to take more design risks without the pressure of satisfying shareholders
- PDF/print-on-demand formats make access and distribution easier
- Miniature agnostic approach allows using models you already own
Cons
- Often lower production budgets, which can affect art quality and layout
- Not always tournament-friendly; campaigns and narrative play take precedence over competition
Thematic elements
- tactical skirmish warfare in a contested zone
- Sci-fi zone-based skirmish with modular terrain
- campaign-driven, narrative-forward but light on fixed story
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Campaign — play sessions build a evolving story or campaign rather than standalone competitive skirmishes
- Creative customization — flexible use of various models and kit-bashing to build factions or warbands
- Miniature-agnostic rules — rules designed to work with models from multiple manufacturers rather than a single licensed line
- Narrative/campaign emphasis — play sessions build a evolving story or campaign rather than standalone competitive skirmishes
- Rule distribution model — rules are often sold as PDFs or print-on-demand books rather than bundled with miniatures
- Skirmish-scale play — focus on small warbands rather than large armies with individual model activation and personal objectives

Quotes (from this video)
- indie games are generally released in portable document format pdfs which means you can look at them on your phone you can look at them on your ipad
- print on demand is nice because you're not sitting on a garage full of stuff that you got printed and spent your whole life savings on
- the rules can be a lot more interesting sometimes you can take a lot more risks with the way that the game is designed and played
- indie games are miniatures agnostic
- this gives you a lot more freedom in your creativity in your war band or your group or your crew or whatever
