Indie Interviews

From IndieGuide

Reading interviews of Indies is an interesting way of learning new things. It also provides inspiration and motivation.

The columns of the table have the following function:

1. Title: title of the interview.
2. Name (Website): name of the interviewee and a link to his homepage/website.
3. Conducted by: link and name of the site where the interview was published (not necessarily the interviewer).
4. Game titles: titles of games the interviewee's done.
5. Description: in a few words the summary of the interview.
6. Date conduct: date when the interview was conducted (if known).
7. Date added: date when this interview was added to the list. This is quite useful as you can see immediately which interviews have newly been added.

Please provide dates in this format (YYYY-MM-DD) so the sorting of the columns work.
