@ Cyberdude: What Ngmoco most likely does is provides the software and hardware. Ngmoco could also be paying Hand Circus in exchange for the publishing rights and a piece of the sells.

@Cyberdude Independent I reckon means ngmoco don't employ him. They'll provide development resources and promotional power and in return Oliver will pay them a cut of his earnings.

In that respect, you could say he employs ngmoco.

Rolando 2 looks fantastic. I'd better hurry up and finish Rolando!

"Ngmoco has posted a new gameplay video from the upcoming Rolando 2. The walkthrough is narrated by Simon Oliver of Hand Circus, the independent developer behind the Rolando series."

How on earth is it possible to be independent when you are backed up by a publisher?

Looks good but I'm going to pass when it comes out. Not because I don't want it but because I still have 50+ other iphone games to beat and by the time I'm done Rolando 2 may have dropped in price already
