We here at Big Download love indie games. From telling you about them, playing them, or offering downloads for them, we are all about helping lesser-known developers get their name out into the world. Each week on Saturday, we'll give you the Indie Wrap-up, a collection of all the indie news stories and features during the previous week.

It was a busy week in the realm of indie gaming, with the coverage of the major entries of TIGSource's Procedural Generation Competition dominating most of the indie news. We also got an interview with Vic Davis of Armageddon Empires, among other things. A great week to play indie games, that's for sure.

Features and Downloads

	Freeware Friday: Dwarf Fortress Our resident indie player James Murff takes a look at a free ASCII RTS with all the makings of greatness.
	Interview: Vic Davis of Armageddon Empires Vic Davis sat down with Big Download recently to talk about his games, his business, and his life.
	MODvelous Monday: 6/9/08 David Craddock takes his weekly gaze at mods to the ever-popular Starcraft custom maps scene, and shares two gems with us.

This next game from the TIGSource Procedural Generation Competition is definitely not for people with reactive epilepsy. Utilizing a procedurally painted background that is continually painted in real-time (which is almost a game in of itself), Everyone Loves Active 2 is an arena shooter with very simple mechanics and a visual style all its own. Kill enemies within seconds of each other to get chains, and keep going to rack up a huge score. There's even online leaderboards for those who want to show off their prowess. You can download it off of the TIGSource forums.
