In case no one's noticed my consistent plugging, I've started up a blog that reviews independent games (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/).  This isn't really for the indie community as much as it's to introduce the independent gaming scene to my IRL friends and other peeps in general.  In addition to the standard reviews, I would love it if I could put up an interview with an independent game developer, to give a little insight on what it's like creating games independently.

If you would be interested or willing to be interviewed about your currently released games, the game development process, or future projects of yours, please hit me up with a PM.

nice :)

also:
maybe put that grizzly picture into the header.
in the background people can barely see it...

Understood.  I think I'll shrink the image so it can fit in the header.  For now, though, I've removed it from the background. And thanks for the subscription!

fine, now it looks much cleaner.

moreover here are some nice font resources (if you want to update your header)
http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/freebies/resources-download-high-quality-free-fonts/

You can use any font you have installed for the blog font, right?

hm... i'm currently not sure about that one.
(i think the font needs also to be installed on the machine of the visitor... if that shouldn't be the case the visitor sees an alternative font)

but you can still use any font you want.
create your header just in an image editor. :)

Newest review has just been added! (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/01/review-yume-nikki.html)

Not the highest quality I've put up, and I'm still working on that banner, but eh, I have deadlines now.  Expect an update every Monday!

Next Monday: Interview

how would you like hamletz to write for your independent gaming reviews games website? i also have much to say on the general topic of indie games and politics

Thank you for the offer, but I think I'm good writing the articles myself.  A weekly schedule gives me more than enough time to handle all of it, but thanks anyways.

I'm a famous indie developer and a fabulous interview to boot.

I'm confident you are. :giggle:

Sorry.

Kind of an idiot to this stuff cuz I haven't used Twitter before.

A little introduction post for the blog's new artist, Babbity_Rabbity! (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/01/newcomer-babbityrabbity.html)

So.. who are you interviewing or is it a surprise? :)

you've an another follower now ;)  :gentleman:

It's a surprise, but you probably won't know who the first one is.

Also, thanks for following, guys!

Interview with Kaikimi! (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/01/interview-donny-codestar-games.html)

You probably don't know him all that well around here, but this is all the better chance to get to know him!

What's this?  An additional writer for Thursdays?  Say it ain't so! (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/02/newcomer-superyoshi.html)

A Grizzly Pixel first: guest reviews! (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/02/guest-review-super-mario-63.html)

This one happens to be by a guy by the username of MessengerOfDreams.  Please look at the end of the post if you're interested in submitting a review.

Just finished a new review, and damn, is it ever looking sexy.  Please, take a gander at the blog Monday to get a good look at it.

Iji review up! (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/02/review-iji.html)

I'd also like to give a shoutout to Babbity, the blog's artist, for doing a great job with the illustrations.

The blog now has a new artist for Thursday reviews! (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/02/newcomer-mabelma.html)

Greet him warmly.

Heh, now you just need somebody to review all those classic indie games from 10+ years ago and your schedule will be complete!  :lol:

Rest assured, I'll get to those at some point or another.

For your consideration: A review double feature of BIT.TRIP BEAT and BEAT.TRIP CORE by Suyo. (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/02/review-bittrip-beat-and-bittrip-core_10.html)

Please read: A personal review of Super Meat Boy by Superyoshi. (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/02/review-super-meat-boy_4760.html)

Not really that obscure, but psh, I think I'm doing that side of the indie games for now.

An interview with TIGSource's own John Sandoval! (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/02/interview-john-sandoval.html)

Read up!

More BIT.TRIP madness. (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/02/review-bittrip-void-and-runner.html)

A little mainstream, but that's perfectly fine every once in a while. (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/03/review-minecraft.html) ;)

Oh hey there Hero Core review that popped out of nowhere after nearly a month and a half.  (Yes, this means weekly updates shall commence once again)

A little preview of things to come. (http://grizzlypixel.blogspot.com/2011/04/retrofitting-aka-reviewing-games-that.html)

The first in the scheduled lineup!  Is this VN by Christine Love really worth the time?  Well, that's ultimately up to you, but you should read the review anyway!

Hot off the press!  The striking conclusion to the BIT.TRIP reviews!

A little bit of a schedule mix-up this week, with Monday's review being done by Suyo due to some stupid stuff that popped up last week, but the schedule'll balance itself out by the end of the week, I assure you.

We're baaaaaaaaack.

subscribed to the feed. I dig how it isn't all reviews as that would get kinda stale. They're also really nice, simple and yet to the point. Yer have a nice website there, mate.

Thank you very much!  And thanks for the subscription!
