-I think the idea is awesome since it informs me of indie titles that flew under my radar. It also subtly supplemented something I've wanted to write on regarding the recent quality control debacle on steam.

The only problem I have is that it's all on user blogs and not its own separate channel. It makes me have to speed skim through user submitted blogs, for any guideline-infringing stuff, and push them through only to get guaranteed 1.5 days (max) on the front page. And in some cases, a lot of hours were lost if it was submitted when I was at work or elsewhere. Plus, it stifled the whole community voting aspect of it all.

-Probably the interviews when it felt like the interviewer and interviewee had great back-and-forth.

-More of ^that

-Find games I've never heard of

IndieMonth was very interesting. Some games I'd heard of, others not before this month. I enjoyed reading most of the articles regardless. The thoughts certain devs have as artists or behind making indie games are often unique, and it never seemed like I was being force fed PR like when a major publisher would talk about their game and how it's not the same as their previous game.

I feel that perhaps I forced a response to some of the less interesting games or devs where I felt I didn't really have any additional input, but I made a good effort on every comment in the spirit of the underlying contest. Not that the contest was necessary, but without that incentive I might've left one comment per day in stead, covering all the articles in stead of a comment on every article. Being on vacation this month also worked out in my favour.

My least favourite content was the cryptic language around the least finished games. And there were some games that just didn't look interesting in my mind. Although, a nice mix was good, I guess. I also did not see a reason to split interviews in two articles.

I'm glad to see there will be more of this in the future. I will look forward to it!

IndieMonth was a great success imo.

Saw a lot of games I had heard of and a lot I hadn't. Won some games and added to my enormous backlog (is that a positive?).

I think the best part for me was seeing the characters that make these games. Some very interesting people out there making these games. Minds like the people interviewed this month is what keeps the indie scene strong and what also help keep the creativity in gaming. AAA games have to play it safe too often and I love how the smaller guys sometimes take giant leaps of faith to reach their vision. I commend all the devs who do their best to see their ideas come to fruition and hope they're awarded success along with it so they can continue to do what they do.

Loved it. Great games and developers that I never would have heard about if it weren't for Indie Month. And of course the prizes were awesome. Really excited to hear that it's coming back. Can't wait. Thanks Cat & N4G.

I hated all the playstation give away :p, but that's still allot better then a poke in the eye, and kick in the behind.

I loved every day of it! It was really fantastic, I knew a lot of interesting and cool games that I never heard of before. Also it was amazing the daily chance to win something. As for the content it was very diversified and for all the tastes! Maybe a suggestion can be to feature more japanese developers. I'm looking forward to the next indie month!

I really enjoyed this indie month and I cant wait for the next! Some games I never thought Id be interested in but after reading about them and giving them a chance I found I really enjoyed them, so thanks for that!!

The only one I wasnt too fussed about were the mobile games which have never done it for me personally, its more the device than the games themselves though.

Well done on putting this all together its been awesome!

There was a lot of work that went into this and I wanted to say thank you for all the people involved in getting this off the ground, especially Cat. You rock!

It's been great learning about the people that make these games and how their companies and games came to be, I've also seen a lot of great games that I haven't even heard of and I probably wouldn't of had they not been shown in these stories and interviews. I'm looking forward the next one and I like idea of you guys taking suggestion, I'd personally would like to see Ronimo Games, one of my favorite indie developers.

Just as Royksopp and Robyn sang it: Do it a...gain!
I really enjoyed reading all of the features and checking out their websites to find out more about the developer themselves and their games.
Some games were more of a mystery than others due to their early developing stages.
I was introduced to new ways of enjoying gaming and I learned a lot about game making. Although the developing lingo still goes over my head.
Let's do it again!

Indie month was awesome! Thanks you, I learned a lot about a bunch of devs I had never heard of :)

It was perfect, can't wait for the next Indie Month, the interviews are great and it's really interesting to know more about the game and the industry by the developers, also it was a great opportunity to discover new titles.
I got Resogun and A Story About my Uncle, great games, i can't stop playing the first. Thanks to Cat and N4G.

I thought that IndieMonth was wonderful! :D I found out about awesome games and developers that I had never heard of before, and even found out more about some of my favorite developers (like Double Fine) as well.

My favorite type of content had to be the kind of articles (not sure exactly what to call the feature) where the N4G team wrote about their gameplay experiences and stories with the game and talked in-depth about how the mechanics and gameplay worked. But I also really enjoyed the interviews, since I love hearing about all of the details of how games are made.

I didn't really have any least favorite type of article, I thought every one had a useful purpose. Can't really think of anything that I wanted more/less of either. Oh, except more videos of the Octodad/SpyParty crossover! xD

I'm really grateful to Cat, N4G and the indie developers for the extremely generous giveaways each day. A big thank you to the whole team at N4G for making IndieMonth a seriously fun, enlightening experience!

Indie month ending is a heart breaker, I look forward to it in the future. So many interesting titles.

It was fun, i won 3 codes and was introduced to really cool looking games. I don't think there was a game cover that didn't spike my interest.

This was the best month that i had in a while :3
thank you N4G for this awesome month and thank you cat :3
and i loved it and i hope we see the next indie month soon :))

Bigger, better and even more spectacular than July 2014? Wow!

What did you think of this inaugural IndieMonth?
Awesome and can't wait for more!

Love it? Hate it?
Love it, of course

What was your favorite type of content
interviews

did you have a least favorite type of content?
I can't think of anything I did not like

Want more of something and less of something else?
everything is just right
Find games you never heard of, or games you wish you never heard of? ;)
Most games from Indie Month I never heard of

I don't know why people are arguing for... but I enjoyed indie month, granted there are some games that I was less enthusiastic for than others. The articles were quality and offered insight on the developers perspective. I discovered new games as well. And of course winning prizes was amazing :)

there was this one dev that I really wanted to be on there called DoubleDutch Games. they have this game called Speedrunners that looks really fun,but anyways

Yeah loved it a lot. Thanks Cat and Herobyclicking for your time and work on all the articles. I for one greatly appreciated it. :)

I've been a contributing member of N4G for years, and a lurker for years prior.

This is, hands down, the most fantastic thing I've ever seen on the website. Not only did it keep me clicking back to the site to check for new prizes, but to be perfectly honest I was most thrilled to see a new game highlighted every day. Most "real" (i.e. IGN, Joystiq, etc) videogame sites don't highlight even HALF this number of indie games in a given month.

Keep up the good work, Cat and all others involved in putting it together. I mean it. This event was stellar.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
