Can a two-person team create this beautiful 3D title on the PlayStation 4?

Source is an ambitious game where you play as a bioluminescent firefly in a rich 3D environment.

It’s one of more than a hundred indie games coming to the PlayStation 4. But the remarkable thing about Source is that it is being built by a two-person team, husband and wife Brian McRae and Anna Gambal-McRae. Two veterans of the triple-A console game industry, they formed their indie game studio Fenix Fire in 2010. Trained as artists, they’ve been making ends meet with work-for-hire games as well as their own indie titles. I got a preview of the pretty game at an event at Sony’s U.S. game headquarters in San Mateo, Calif.
