Stephen Lavelle/Increpare is the most impressive indie game developer out there by an absolutely landslide imo.
Beyond things like Puzzlescript he's just madly inventive when it comes to making games and interactive experiences of his own. Stephen's Sausage Roll and Slave of God (https://www.increpare.com/2012/12/slave-of-god/) stand out in particular to me but on the whole he strikes me as a guy who has tons of great idea and the talent to implement them. Only issue is he hasn't the time to devote to take most of them beyond being extremely impressive proofs of concept.
