I dunno, it's kinda hard to find nice people making video games. A lot of nice people I know in video games actually left the industry because it's full of horrible people trying to exploit each other and other horrible people with an ego problem trying to prove that their game is better than everyone else's. There are a lot of nice people in the world, but very few make games.
I think it'd be a great morale booster for the whole indie community. They should interview Rikus, and all those other people who put in a lot of effort and expect nothing in return

Sounds very interesting! If he can get enough donations to fund his youtube documentary then all the power to him.
I know it's just a phrase ("you meet the nicest people..."), but I find it to be a strange choice for a title. People making indie games are creative, intriguing, motivated, interesting, risk-taking.. a lot of them are quite probably even good interviewees. I'm sure they're nice people, but it's just a strange choice of word for this IMO.
Also, he's only visiting developers in America? Not only does that leave out a lot of good developers, the whole video is going to seem very (need I say it) American and international developers will be conspicuous by their absence. It's a good idea for a documentary and I'd still like to watch it, though!
I think it makes perfect sense for him to only visit people in USA (hopefully Canada too). Going international would double the costs easily.
