Gamebunny let us know that the second part of their Indie MMO Developer Roundtable is now online.

Looking at the positive side of things – what is the best thing about being a smaller company and/or indie developer?

Stephanie Shaver (HERO'S JOURNEY):
A few days ago I'd have told you maneuverability, but Monday and Tuesday we had another small company show up to look at HeroEngine. To make a long story short, we all had a hell of a good time together, and it reminded me of something I sometimes forget...the camaraderie.

I can talk to and interact with anyone and everyone in my company about what they do. If a tree doesn't look right, I can probably find the artist who changed it and, if he isn't under crushing deadlines, get him to fix it. We socialize together, some of us live together, and we're a very tight-knit group. Some people are extremely comfortable with this. Some move on. It's not for everyone. But for the few of us who like it, it's a very enjoyable experience. It's also a form of maneuverability, so I guess that is my answer after all.

Daniel McMillan (FRONTIER 1859):
A little extra creative freedom, hiring lots of women developers, and a potential Monthly Revenue Sharing Plan.
