http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iimLO5UkWYg&feature=relatedIt's a series of episodes filmed by a small games development team. They're using C++ to write they're game, as it's cross platform (PC + dreamcast)
But they do mention the level editor is using blitz+, it's pretty cool and let's you see what life's like for other bedroom coders.
Semi interesting... kinda scary.
Looks like they need to improve their "office" so that they can have better workstation safety etc. Can't be good working for long periods (like you need to to finish a game) in an environment like that ;-)
Chapter two:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPmJ_UqjxdM&NR=1Look at around 27 seconds into the video, and tell me if that's a Blitz IDE or not. It sure as hell looks like one.
Edit: Confirmed!
Check it out at ~2:45

I love it! It acuretly shows indie developers at their brightest! I believe that Microsoft can only envy this superior talent. XNA you are doomed!
5/5
@Torrente: yeah they say they use BlitzPlus for the level editor because it was a lot quick er than using C++ for just knocking something together quickly. Their game is using C++ with OpenGL.
I kind of like the fact that they have no desks and just chuck everything on the floor, must be terrible for your back though sitting on the floor all day.
But doing the typical thing of loading up on colas and snacks to fuel all night coding sessions is pretty cool. And the film making isn't too bad, I like that they zoom in on the screens to show what they're doing, and write things down to explain how different parts of the game design are working.
There should be more people like this on youtube, it's actualy interesting to watch, unlike most of the crud on there.
I agree! That is cool, but we were as messy as those guys :D
