Thirty Flights of Loving is a first-person adventure video game developed by Brendon Chung's video game studio, Blendo Games. It was released in July 2012 for Microsoft Windows and in November 2012 for OS X. The game employs a modified version of id Software's id Tech 2 engine—originally used for Quake 2—and incorporates music composed by Idle Thumbs member Chris Remo. It follows three people as they prepare for an alcohol heist and as they deal with the aftermath of the operation. An indirect sequel to Gravity Bone (2008), it features the same main character, an unnamed spy. It was developed as part of the Kickstarter campaign for the revival of the Idle Thumbs podcast and includes a free copy of Gravity Bone. Thirty Flights of Loving received generally favorable reviews from video game journalists, scoring 88 out of 100 on the review aggregator Metacritic. A follow-up, Quadrilateral Cowboy, is scheduled for release in 2014. (Full article...)

Most recent similar article(s): Cave Story (February 17, 2014) is the only other indie game that has run so far *this year*, I think.

  - If you're going to run this on a specific date, you should mention in the blurb why that date is relevant. Sven Manguard Wha? 18:20, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - yay indie games. You're wrong, though- Bastion (January 30, 2013) and Flower (March 9, 2010) have also made the main page, though Cave Story is the most recent by far. --Pres N 18:03, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
