Earlier this year, the fine organizers at Portland’s [XOXO Festival](http://xoxofest.com/?ref=killscreen.com) asked me to interview Ron Carmel, principal of the [Indie Fund](http://indie-fund.com/?ref=killscreen.com) and co-creator of [*World of Goo*](http://www.worldofgoo.com/?ref=killscreen.com). Ron was a lovely intervieweee and the piece above is a great overview/origin story from start to finish of a successful indie title. We talked about his life at EA, the untraditional roots of *Goo,* patent infringement, and the future of independent game. If you want a primer on a exciting slice of games, this should be it.
