Default Pig-Min interviews Indie Game people from abroad.

As you know, Pig-Min is Korean Indie Game webzine. However sometimes do e-mail interview with the Indie Game people from abroad. I'd make the list & link them here for several reasons.

1. Let Indiegamer forum members visit & read the interview.
2. Let Indiegamer forum members know that I'm working something for Indie Games. (Review copies - press releases are appreciated. Pig-Min is for Korean, but made English branch at now. These links are all English version.)
3. Make this thread as archive of Pig-Min, and let next interviewee to see.

It's funny that people from korea are interested in western game devs. I was thinking that there would be much more talented indie devs over there with polished high profile games, or is it a myth?

For Indie dev., not many in Korea. And even if there are many in Korea, interview with people abroad might be important.

These are great, nice work. I know how hard it can be to come up with questions, you really have to know the games you are asking about. It's really interesting to get an insight into all of these game creators. Thanks.

Strange. Can't open the links with IE 6.0, but they work with Firefox.

Good reading. Nice that you interviewed JTR - great to see that someone finally noticed the smallest scale indies.

Maybe server was busy at that time, or something else. Works fine for both browser here.

Well. In fact, after I reviewed [Death Worm] in Pig-Min, some local people spreaded that game, not related to Pig-Min itself. That's why I interviewed him, because his games are underground-famous here.

In the past, Pig-Min interview had Korean & English version at 1 page. It's difficult to read, so I divided them into 2 different thread, and got rid of 'click to read' option.

Just visit & you could read full version, without any difficulty. Please enjoy reading, with easier version of Pig-Min!
