mar 11, 2006 - "flOw"

Description:

Release of "flOw," created by Thatgamecompany as part of a 3-game contract with Sony, marking one of the earliest examples of "commodified" indie, or publisher-funded indie. This was emblematic of a significant departure, where earlier it was more possible to identify "indie" with "independently developed."
"flOw" was originally released as a free Flash game in 2006, and reworked as part of the Sony deal in 2007.
