Indie game developer YouTube/Vimeo channels

I think that blog posts would be a horrible place to store reference material if not for the indexing power of search engines.  So with that, I am going to compile a list of independent game development teams who post videos of their progress on YouTube or Vimeo.

Adventures In Game Development / Elysian Shadows

Fireravens Unlimited

JForce Games

phantasqProductions

Amateur Game Development

I find these really interesting.  The team members vary in age from early teen to around college-aged and slightly beyond (which admittedly makes me feel old), and I love seeing the process they go through, the lessons learned, etc.  You’ll see a lot of common themes: over-confidence and optimism initially, drama amongst team members, loss of motivation, major design changes / scaleback, and other issues typical of any software development team.
