I didn’t see this previously mentioned, but as I was browsing video game news the other day (G4 iPhone app), there was an article about an independent games con (IndieCade? I forget). Anyway, the author of the article mentioned spending a lot of time playing Blue Lacuna (with a link to Aaron’s website), which he enjoyed and wouldn’t have ever been exposed to otherwise. I thought that was a cool mainstream mention.
Blue Lacuna was a finalist at IndieCade alongside games like Every Day the Same Dream, Fatale and VVVVVV, which is pretty “mainstream indie” in my books.
What’s really cool is that possibly half of the mentions it’s getting don’t begin with something to the tune of “remember Zork?/thought text adventures were dead?/etc.”
