Divers have now retrieved 171 bodies from the Sewol ferry wreck off South Korea's coast.
Rescue teams are still searching for more than 130 people who are believed to be trapped inside the boat that sank last Wednesday on a routine trip from the port of Incheon to the island of Jeju.
Most of the victims were students on a field trip.
Officials have not yet determined the cause of the sinking. Local media said the ferry may have been carrying three times its cargo limit. Others claimed an inexperienced officer was at the helm.
The captain and 10 crew members have been detained on suspicion of negligence.

Pair encouraged by results
Relevant offers
Marlborough husband-and-wife beach volleyball players Greg and Micah Lindsay-Brown have recorded top results at international tour events in the North Island during the past two weekends.
The pair played at the North Harbour Open on January 19-20 and last weekend were in action at the Hamilton Open. Both events are a lead-in to the major tournament on the New Zealand circuit, the NZ Open at Mt Maunganui this weekend.
At the North Harbour event, Micah Lindsay-Brown partnered Aucklander Carli Boates to finish seventh equal out of 16 teams. They had two 2-1 wins in pool play before losing 2-0 in the quarterfinals. In the playoffs for fifth-eighth, they went down 2-1.
Greg Lindsay-Brown joined forces with top Christchurch player Tame Malcolm to finish fifth equal out of 13 men's teams. In pool play, they had a 2-0 win and a 2-0 loss against top-ranked Tauranga brothers Ben and Edwin O'Dea. Lindsay-Brown and Malcolm suffered a 2-0 loss in the quarterfinals, but bounced back to record a 2-1 win in the fifth-eighth playoffs.
Last weekend in Hamilton the husband-and-wife duo had plenty to smile about when they both managed podium placings.
In the women's competition, Micah Lindsay-Brown teamed up with a new partner, Australian and three-time Olympian Tamsin Hinchley. Seeded third out of 14 pairs, they won all three of their pool matches in straight sets.
After also winning their quarterfinal, they overcame second seeds Julia Tilley and Shaunna Polley, of Hamilton, 21-15 21-11 in the semifinals, booking them a spot in the final. The title decider against the top seeded German pair was an epic battle, Lindsay-Brown and Hinchley pushing them all the way before going down 20-22 21-14 15-13.
Seeded seventh out of 16 men's teams, Greg Lindsay-Brown and Malcolm produced the upset of the tournament when they knocked over the top seeded O'Dea brothers 16-21 21-18 15-12 in pool play.
They went on to win all three of their pool games, before downing Rene Kapa and Morgan Seymour 21-16 23-21 in the quarterfinals.
In the semifinals, Lindsay-Brown and Malcolm went down 17-21 18-21 to the third seeded American duo, seeing them place third equal.
Greg and Micah-Lindsay-Brown are both playing in the NZ Open this weekend, Micah rating herself and Hinchley as "a good chance" to take out the title.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
I Told You…
by Paul on 04/18/08 at 08:18 PM ET
Comments (0)
Listening to the mis-informed sports radio jocks here in Detroit has been a joke today. Most have no idea what the game of hockey is all about and it is showing. One thing I have picked up throughout the day and from at least 4 sports jocks…
I told you that Hasek should have been traded earlier in the season, we could have gotten a great asset for him!
So hockey fans, would you have traded an asset for Hasek?
How about you Ottawa, you needed goaltending, would you have taken him?
Maybe Chicago, he could have ended up where he started! Maybe Calgary, Dom would have been a great backup to Kipper!
Did anyone want Hasek? Tampa Bay Lightning, maybe, but a trade between the Wings and Bolts would never happen.
Any takers?

If you're a HipChat administrator, Domain-Validated Signups will make your life easier while allowing new teammates to join your HipChat group faster. Even more, they ensure your team is secure from unwanted signups.
If you're a HipChat newbie, welcome! We're super (content) to have you aboard. HipChat is easy to use and set up, so don't worry about reading tons of boring instructions. Just do these three steps, and you'll be smooth sailing.
HipChat is all about teams, but it's also about you. As an app you use to communicate all day long, you need it to feel just right.
With every update to HipChat, we're adding more settings that let you customize your experience, like per-room notifications, dark mode, and avatars. Now it's just about taking advantage of them.
💩! There's a hiccup with your service. You jump into incident-management mode. Your users, who are already tweeting and sending support tickets, need to know what's up. Your team needs to come together to diagnose and fix the issue. And all this needs to happen fast.
The cloud's ability to store infinite amounts of information has given us so much – but it also creates "cloud clutter." At first you used just a few cloud services, say Gmail, Dropbox, and Trello. But fast forward a few years, and you're probably using tens of services in the cloud to get your work done. And that means all the files that are most important to you are scattered and difficult to find.
Cloudo changes that.
Any team that slings code for a living deals with service issues. They know all too well the hated red alert… the dreaded text in the middle of the night… the loathsome ping from a coworker telling them that $#!π just hit the fan. But what separates good services from great services is the ability to recover swiftly with minimal affect on users. And a big factor in swift recovery is ChatOps.
I am the product of AIM. I can hear that door swinging open and closed in my mind with absolute fidelity. I know that ding like I know the sound of my own babies crying.
At 15, as I typed away into AOL IM, I never imagined that chat could turn into a tool powering some of the greatest innovation in business, technology, science, and beyond. There's even a name for this phenomenon: ChatOps.
Our recent app updates are packed with new features, from per-room notifications to avatars to quick search. In fact, there are so many new features that it's easy to pass one by. That's why we'll be highlighting some of our favorite new features in our "HipTip" series, sharing with you the very newest and best of HipChat.
For today, follow me to the dark side…
When you're a HipChat admin, great power comes with great responsibility. And that means being responsible for inviting and managing all your users. That's no easy feat. Until now.
With the new Google Apps user sync, you'll be able to invite your whole team at once and manage them all through Google Apps. Or, shall we say, let Google Apps manage users for you.
A big promise of technology is to make our lives simpler, and in some instances, to solve problems that we didn't know existed in the first place.
Five years ago we didn't think twice about hailing a cab or renting a car for the billions of local business trips taken every year. That is until Uber came into our lives and made something we do every day feel magically simple.

The Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation revealed exports to 55 countries soared by nearly a quarter last year, as sales rose from 52,671 tonnes to 65,480 tonnes.
It is legal to shoot seals outside their breeding season and the Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation, whose industry is one of the biggest employers in the Highlands, said a single attack could kill several thousand of the farmed fish.
Julie Edgar of the Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation said: "It is a bit of a snub to Scottish fish farmers.
The strategy reflected the importance of aquaculture to the rural economy, and would allow the industry to develop in line with market demand, said Phil Thomas, Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation chairman.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Funding for the project will be provided by industry stakeholders including the Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation, the Scottish government, producers and suppliers.
It would be very bad news if they got to Scotland," said a Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation spokesman.

Using the right grammar and punctuation is vital to convey messages without any ambiguity or misunderstanding. If I said: "Let's eat grandma" you might think I'm a bit cannibalistic, or that I don't really like my grandma that much. But if I said: "Let's eat, Grandma" there would be no doubt that I wanted to eat with my grandma at that particular moment in time. You see? No ambiguity. Plus it would have saved my grandma's life- which, you know, she would be quite happy about.
"Let's eat Grandma!" "Let's eat, Grandma!" Punctuation saves lives, use it correctly ;)

"Good" This is grammatically incorrect because good is an adjective and well is an adverb, so well will fit best in this space.
good should change to well change that to the Grammar Win!: "I did well on the english test." No, you did not.
"Good" Good is an adjective, and well is an adverb. Therefore, you need to describe the verb with an adverb.
Everyone who knows me knows that this is one of my biggest pet peeves...It's well, not good!
This. This is awesome. It's WELL!!!!! Uhhhggg it annoys me so much when people do this!

There shouldn't be an apostrophe after the e in employees. Also using the wrong there. !Grammar Win!: Employees must wash their hands before returning to work.
In this sign "there" should actually be "their" since its belonging to the employee's. Grammar Wins!
funny grammar mistakes | Two errors in this one! The apostrophe that shouldn't be there and the wrong use of "there" (should be "their").
This meme has an unnecessary apostrophe in employees, wrong placement of capitalization, and the wrong homophone of there. A comma needs to be placed before "before," to isolate the prepositional phrase. Grammar Win. Employees must wash their hands, before returning to work!
This sentence has a punctuation and a word's problem. Grammar win: Employees much wash their hands before returning to work!

Ubisoft fixes big The Division exploit

Ubisoft just implemented a smart fix for The Division's incursion exploits
Like I suggested then with my "if(boss != dead)" code suggestion. Do I get commission? ;) Reply -2
Ubisoft threatens to "punish" The Division players who use a popular exploit
@nathull : But what's an exploit? If that's not defined anywhere, it's pretty hard to adhere to it, on a legal level (which removal of access to one's purchased product/service means we need to be operating on). I think we've all exploited games at some point, from cheating limited AI to finding safe places to fight bosses. If we enjoy that from our products, no-one should be denying us the right to play how we want.
This is only an issue because 1) It's 'competitive' online, and 2) it's part of the product's long-term value and so affects monetary worth. The same glitch in a single player game (like Borderlands) would go ignored.
Being online doesn't give a game special entitlement to how it's played. The game needs to manage players to be played properly. Reply 0
@Cocheese1998 : "!=" means 'not equals'. Therefore if the boss is not dead, don't make the loot available. Then no matter what exploits of the map can be used to reach the loot area, you won't have access to the loot without killing the boss first.
It's also not meant as an example of a perfect solution, but an illustration of how the game design can (fairly easily) incorporate defenses against the most common exploits that sneak through. In this case, have numerous conditions checked before paying out the goods performed at the moment the goods are to be paid out. We've had online games like this for a good decade now. Devs should be putting in basic security checks for high-level defense (like they do cheats), instead of relying on a Gentleman's Agreement that fundamentally challenges one's right to use one's paid for software however one wants.

What exactly is the 'Code of Conduct' entry that makes this unfair? Is there a clause, "if we release a game that can be played without strict adherance to our rules, you will still play according to the rules"? What if jumping around is faster than running, say. Would you expect players to avoid jumping because that's how it should be done?
Ultimately, fix the issue and leave it at that. The only problem here is the way Ubi have responded, and failed to plug the hole quickly enough.
Reading the CoC, it does actualyl say, "you won't use exploits," which is very subjective and I reckon could be challenged in a law court. Reply +6
Codemasters picks up Driveclub developer Evolution Studios
Also, Codies should grab the Studio Liverpool bunch to secure the Wipeout style racing too! Reply +9
Pretty specialist, a racing-game publisher. Considering that market has been shrinking, I really hope this works. Definitely need to branch out a bit to differentiate the racing games. eg. Keep rally, Motorstorm (under a different name), F1, but add decent karting game and MicroMachines and such. Learn from the past 8 years of varied racing games as to what works (commercially) and what doesn't. Otherwise they'll just collapse under their own weight in 5 years. Reply 0
Samsung Galaxy S7 review
A smaller megapixel count might sound disappointing but those pixels are larger, which means better low-light shooting. It's remarkable how clear images in darkened environments come out - there's none of the graininess one normally associates with this kind of photography on mobile phones.There's a lot of digital noise reduction going on. You'd need to take some RAW shots and convert them without noise reduction to make a fairer comparison. Reply +3
Sex, shopping and video game longevity
The objective is inconsistent in this article. Are you trying to find something fun to do for 30 years, or are you trying to find a computer game that you can play alone on a desert island for 30 years? Lots of the suggestions are multiplayer, which isn't an option in the latter situation.
Also, what's the definition of 'enjoy for 30 years'? How frequently do you play? People can enjoy golf, say, for 30 years, but not playing every day. So are you after a game you can revisit in 20 years and still enjoy as much as you did the first time you played, or something that you'll be playing an hour or two a day for 30 years? If the latter, you'd probably want something that isn't so much a game as a pasttime - a gentle brain-relaxing activity that prevents boredom but doesn't demand too much.
Personally I'd say any rule set will ultimately get boring, although I get bored by everything! For me, it'd have to be something like LBP/Dreams where you can create, have ideas and explore - nothing else is open enough and will be exhausted after a spell. Which is where on a desert island, it'd be more interesting to try to build a home and farm effectively and solve life's problems then repeat the solution to computer game problems you've solved many times before.
So what's needed is an open-world sandbox survival game about a guy stuck on a desert island. You could play that for 30 years...

That Dragon, Cancer "has not yet seen a single dollar from sales"
I guess there's conceptual difference between a Let's Play video of a game and it's gameplay, and one of a story-based game where the story is key. The latter is much closer to posting a ripped movie. I doubt Let's Play Tubers will care to self moderate. The top vid on YouTube has 2.5M views. That'll be a few thousands dollars advertising revenue for that Tuber. Even giving that to a cancer charity (if he did) doesn't really help the developers.
Morale of this story I guess is, as a developer, release your own Let's Play, and budget only for that ad revenue. Or don't do story games because YouTube will ruin it. Or don't tackle serious subjects in a short game because people won't buy it. Reply +15

Evolutions and Studio Liverpool only made racing games, a dying genre. It makes good business sense to redirect funding to more lucrative ventures. In doing so, sony clearly aren't abandoning PS4 or console or their fanbase. Indeed, they're trying to grow it into markets where selling a PS4 just ain't gonna happen. This is a win for everyone save those who unfortunately lost their jobs in the closures. Reply 0
@mannyYearsAgo : This move is for "The Japanese and Asian markets". These markets don't care so much for TV consoles. That gives Sony two choices. 1) Ignore these potentially highly lucrative markets because PS fans don't want their IPs appearing on mobile games in markets they aren't a part of, or 2) release games in these markets to try and get a slice of those �1 million a day type mobile games and invest that in building up the PS brand in these territories to try and promote their console, plus invest in the PS biz and bring out more games and better hardware.

BBC Sport tweets about a disgruntled pro FIFA player, followers hate it
This is what the difference between professional investment and amateurs trying part-time is...
If people want sport/esport to be modern quality, they need to fund it. The alternative is keep it cheap and have the standard far lower, spending that money on something else. Reply +1
@Rpt81 : Again, I think people are missing the fact that to compete on these level, you need to spend ages practising. If all that time doesn't pay any dividends, that time could be better spent elsewhere. And that's what Chesses is coming to realise. "Hang on, I'm spending all this time trying to progress in FIFA to help pay my way, but it's really not making any money. The risk is too great. Maybe I'd be better off with something more realistic?" Reply +3
@imagonnawin : That's unfair. The guy was expressing his personal viewpoint as an entrant, not asking for sympathy. And as any would-be professional sports person will tell you, if you can't make a living from it, it's not much of an option. From the point of view of eSports, if it wants to be taken seriously it needs to offer enough money that people can afford to train and compete at a professional level. If the money isn't there then the competition will remain amateurish. Think of modern football versus the 1900s where the 'athletes' were pipe-smoking butchers and bakers and only played football on Sundays. The (crazy) money in professional football means atheletes can spend day after day kicking a little ball around and developing awesome skills and stamina to make the matches more exciting, which is what the spectators pay for.
So Chesses point is really, "this isn't a viable career option." It's no different to an Indie saying, "we can't make money, we're closing shop," and it also speaks volumes for the nature of eSports as 'real sport'.
As for categorising sports, I once had a discussion with a sports scientist who said the definition would even encompass chess. Why is archery a real sport but an FPS not? Not that I'm advocating eSports. TBH I think funded professional sports in general is pretty ludicrous - paying people to run?! Reply +12
Overwatch will be the first game to support Dolby Atmos over headphones
@drxym : When the speakers are right on your ears, you elliminated the spatial aspect of the audio. That is, when played from speakers your brain determines that the sound source is coming from however many feet in front of you. When played in headphones, the sounds are immediately at your ears (or central inside your head when centre balanced). Binaural audio processes the audio signal in each earphone so that it reaches the inner just just as if that sound had travelled whatever distance and hits your two ears at a slightly different time with a slightly different accoustic based on the properties of your head, so the sound is interpreted as coming from a different space. Reply +1
@EnormesCojones : You can fake it, which is what any headphone/stereo spatialiser effect does (SRS). You can't reconstruct binaural audio from stereo though as there's no positional info beyond left/right. Binaural works by combining positional data with data on the listening device (head). For PSVR, the audio is being sent as individual sound effects and combined in the external box. Reply +1
This tech (binaural, holophonic, 3D audio, etc) is something I was hoping was going to feature as standard in hardware on consoles. It's been around for decades, but no-one's really implemented it in it's truest form. Speculation of audio DSPs and headphone sockets in controllers gave us hope, but audio was pretty overlooked this gen (as ever), at least until VR needed it.
Will we be able to see how good their implementation is from videos. Holophonic audio encodes to stereo just fine, so I'm hoping to see a game video with a 3D sound field. Reply +8
Shuhei Yoshida talks PlayStation VR
Also, consoles - including PS4 - we always allow the lowest [presumably he means "deepest"] level of access to the programmersHave you not heard of low level access? It's a very common computing term, along with 'hitting the metal'. Unfortunately these days it's only a few devs who will go that far. Most work with cross-platform engines and vague target hardware and don't hit the metal in the same way a 1st party exclusive title will, so that's not a real advantage here.
The important point really is that consoles have always trailed behind what PC's high end can do, but they still provide a fun, enjoyable experience. PS VR will be exactly the same - great fun and an amazing experience even if not the best possible. Reply +21

The remembrance of things parsed
@darrendawson :
As I see it, as an amateur, basic was hard because you had little to work with. Now you have so much to work with its easy to get lost.I think the little to work with made it easier. The problems became purely logical, how to string those limited commands together to accomplish what you wanted. These days there are thousands of 'commands' at your disposal. You never know what they all are. You create an object and then use Intellisense to tell you what methods are available. Then you find a method that sounds about right, but it doesn't work quite how you intend. So you spend some time trying to work around it, then try another solution, then try rolling your own. Unity has a host of methods for pointing one object towards another, but then limits like assuming they work in a particular plane means you have to spend a lot of time just working out how the systems work. Never had that trouble in 8 bit. Everything could be unstood at the grassroots level. It also didn't keep changing every six months with an update, changing how some stuff works. You never got a Spectrum update one day that broke your code and wasted a few days trying to find out what has changed and how to fix it. Apple recently updated Metal and completely changed some of the APIs calls. Then they update XCode and it's buggy with Unity. You have to awit for Unity to update, and then that introduces bugs elsewhere.
The simplicity of the Olden Days was definitely an advantage to getting things done, and turned great accomplishments into a work of art more than engineering and perseverance. Great games back then were the products of simple systems and very smart human intellect doing very clever things with them. Reply +7
@TwistedFister : The same difficulty, just different.
The tools were non-existent back then, but the ambitions were far smaller due to technical limits. Nowadays the tools are amazing, but the complexities of creating a basic functional game are a couple orders magnitude harder. eg. In a Spectrum game you'd have enemies walking back and forth and per-pixel collision detection. In a Unity game you'd have AI and pathfinding and discrete collision geometry tested with a complex physics engine.
At the professional level, devs had to peek and poke with tiny pieces of memory and use amazing tricks to squeeze performance from the computers. They had to write in machine code. That is in principle hard, but then the instruction sets were so simple that it wasn't insurmountable. You could read code like a book and understand exactly what it's doing. Nowadays we've live profiling and debug and can see exactly what's going wrong where, but there are so many pieces interacting, 3rd party libraries and network hardware and whatnot, that it's hard to follow.
I've knocked up prototypes in Unity in a couple of hours, which you couldn't do on the 8 bit computers. However, refining them into decent projects with decent art and audio and a decent interface (why haven't we got WYSIWYG UI editors yet?!?!) takes months and has mind-numbing issue implementing features adn services. Creating a bunch of 8x8 pixel sprites on a Spectrum and having them move and react was far quicker simply because there was far less involved! Reply +6
Watch yet another mind-blowing Super Mario Maker level conquered
@FuzzyDuck : Did I say he wasn't free to to what he wants? Was I demanding a change in the law to control his actions? Did I insult the person? No. I've just shared a personal opinion on life choices. It's an open discussion about the choices we have. I would have benefitted lots in my youth if some people had talked to me about balance and how much excess game was a waste of time. I'd be far, far happier now if the many hours I spent on fun games I had spent on less fun piano practice. I may have argued with them then, but now I see my balance back then was all out of whack.
In twenty years' time will this guy look back on the 100 hours he spent as a great achievement, or will he recognise a whole load of other things he could have done and lament the obsession? No-one can answer that, but what's the crime in discussing it? Reply -1
@saxxonde : That's a good post. However, I'll say that 100 hours tryig to master one level is likely misplaced time. That 100 hours could be spent creating stuff, learning to play an instrument, doing good, etc.
When young I would persevere at some some goals in games. Some were good, like completing R-Type twice in a row. Others however were pointless, like Master of Orion, where you've clearly won, but persist in conquering all the planets save one, and demolishing them down to a tiny populace just to have the most imbalanced empire. It was a goal that hard to let go of, but not at all satisfying.
I was talking to someone the other day about their son. He's not doing as well at school as he should, nor wants to be doing. However, instead of persevering he retreats to computer games and TV. The skills he's mastering are pointless in the grand scheme of things.
So if just a hobby, an aside, something enjoyable, sure. However, people can get caught up in mind-games and do things to excess, and I do question if 100 hours on one Mario level is the right side of sanity, or should have said at 20 hours, "This is just silly," and go do something else? Reply +7
On the one hand, the skills exhibited here are incredible, showcasing the human capacity to persevere and learn and refine oneself to the pinnacle of pefection, in the truest spirit of Kung Fu.

Did all these voice actors really play MOO? It was a classic, but I don't recall it being insanely popular. So maybe a requirement for the voice actors was prior game experience?

Watch: What makes a game indie?
@I_Am_CatButler :
I seem to remember that EA was founded specifically to promote independent developers.EA predates consoles. They used to publish software, famously Deluxe Paint on Amiga. There was no such thing as 'Indie' back then. I don't even know that the publishers (outside of console companies) owned any studios.
I'm unconvinced by kangarootoo's assertion and would need to see some evidence. I have no memory of anyone ever talking about 'indie devs' on older consoles, although didn't follow the market back then (just played games as a kid!). To my knowledge, 'Indie' has only arisen since the introduction of homebrew development and self publishing. Removing the need for a publisher to release a title meant devs could operate independently, without a controlling stake in their creations. But it did exist as a concept before then even if not much talked about - Insomniac stoically chose/choose to remain independent amongst speculation that Sony would buy them up. Reply +2
@I_Am_CatButler : I disagree with Child of Light being termed an "Indie Game". It's an obfuscation in my mind. Indie devs produce indoe games. Publisher owned srtudios don't. Child of Light is just a different format to AAA published titles, but it's still a studio operating under the unmbrella of a publisher.
As I say above, I think we need a better term than 'Indie game' to talk about these more varied titles. Or even just forget trying to classify, because it doesn't really matter. A game is a game. It's worth categorising them as 'shooter' or 'racer' or 'RPG' as that tells the consumer what type of game and if they'd be interested. Originality (an 'indie' trait) is just a discussion point. What value is there in having a blanket term to cover Child of Light et al? CoL is a 2D adventure game - that's plenty definition enough. Shadow Complex and Not a Hero are 2D shooters. GT, Forza and Assetto Corsa are racers. SOTC and RIME are atmospheric adventure games. Doesn't matter the size of the developer or the funding model.
Basically Indie and not are introducing pointless discrimination. Like those questionnaires that ask for your race - if we just count ourselves all as human, race doesn't enter into it! Reply +1
@I_Am_CatButler : External funded counts as independent - 'indie' doesn't cover the funding model and money has to come from somewhere. It's ownership that makes the difference. A company can be triple A and independent, like Insomniac. They are still faced with the same issues as a home-based dev in that they need to secure funding for their next product and can't trust that, whatever happens with their latest game, they'll still get paid and employed ot make another game (barring publishers closing studios of course).
To illustrate, Naughty Dog were paid by Sony to make Uncharted. When that finished, they were gauranteed to continue to be paid to create a new game. That came with some creative pressure (they were pressured to make a shooter for PS3) although sometimes pubs are very hands off. It's the assumption that the publisher tries to control the product to maximise returns that leads gamers to see non-Indie devs as suffering creatively.
Insomniac were paid by Sony to make Resistance. After that ended (or while that was ongoing), they had to source financing anew for their next project. If they come up with a product that no-one wants to finance, they are in Big Trouble. However, having the freedom to create whatever game they want and then shop it around means a little more creative freedom, in theory. In reality, the same financial pressures still apply. There's a reason Team17 have created no end of Worms games, and that's because they need to make money and Worms does that for them. They actually tried to make other games in the past (Alien Breed game on PS2 using Snowblind Studio's awesome Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance engine) and couldn't get funding so it never happened. Reply +2
@I_Am_CatButler : Having a publisher means having secure funding. So Team ICO can spend an entire generation without releasing a game because they are funded by Sony. That means they aren't independent because thye aren't self sufficient (they are dependent on Sony and do very well out of it, with creative and financial freedom).
Indies live and die by their released products. They only make money from games that sell and a failed game means no money. It's far higher risk than being owned, but that affords greater freedom by-and-large. Reply +2
As others say, 'Indie' means 'independently produced'. It's being turned into a cartch-all for low-budget, light titles, but it shouldn't and the gaming media and culture should be using alternative names. Homebrew, self-financed, and even 'small game' spring to mind. And given how the culture is so enamoured with the term AAA, there's obviously scope for A and B grade games as well.
Using 'Indie' as people do only confuses understanding because it groups the home solitary developer with the likes of Insomniac and Cloud Imperium Games. The purpose of a word is to convey meaning, in this case to different game size/scope/production values/budget. Reply +4

Pope's first encyclical published July 5
Work was begun by Pope Emeritus Benedict
Picture: Osservatore Romano/AFP
Francis X. Rocca for Catholic News Service
Vatican City
July 2, 2013
Pope Francis' first encyclical, which he has said is largely the work of retired Pope Benedict XVI, will be published July 5.
The Vatican announced July 1 that "Lumen Fidei" (The Light of Faith) will be presented at a news conference featuring Cardinal Marc Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation of Bishops; Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Muller, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; and Archbishop Rino Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization.
An encyclical on faith was long expected as the last volume in Pope Benedict's trilogy on the three "theological virtues," following his encyclicals "Deus Caritas Est" (2005) on charity, and "Spe Salvi" (2007) on hope.
In June, Pope Francis told bishops meeting in Rome that his first encyclical would be largely the work of his predecessor.
"It's an encyclical written with four hands, so to speak, because Pope Benedict began writing it and he gave it to me," Pope Francis said. "It's a strong document. I will say in it that I received it and most of the work was done by him and I completed it."
