Thanks all, that was useful.

I now feel comfortable calling myself an indie, even if the last time I was an indie, we weren't called indies, we were called "bedroom programmers".

I'll do my best to use my experience to make something cool.

I plan on starting with something simple and achievable and I will move onto "subversive" games.

Thanks Carrie, I think...

Right, well it's a very big company and though I've been there several years, for some reason, I was never given a full employment contract. I'm sure if there was some commercialisation at some point, there might be a conflict of interest and I'd have to bring it up, but in the meantime, I'm going to keep going until something interesting develops.

Many thanks Andy!

Do people here think that a person with a full-time job lacks any credibility in trying to join the indie community?

Hello.

Is it acceptable within indie circles to have a full-time job in the industry, yet pursue a part-time indie ambition?

Has anyone here successfully made the transition from such a scenario to full-time-indie-heaven? If so, do you have any advice?

I was an indie decades ago and am keen to move back into development, so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
