The hair! You don't really have hair, do you!? You all crazy, all wearing hair and people see you and are all, oh, he's wearing hair, it's probably Christmas, and then like it's just your costume.

[Grundislav]

Hello Indie Gamers,

My name is Grundislav.  Well, actually my name is Francisco...if my name was Grundislav I'd get some really odd looks when meeting people.

Anyway, I'm a slave to a dead genre, namely adventure games.  I make freeware point and click adventure games using Adventure Game Studio (AGS).  You might be familiar with my Ben Jordan games.  If not, give them a try! I hope you like them.

I'm trying to expand out of the little AGS bubble and find other forums, and you guys seem like a cool bunch, so thanks for having me. 

[increpare]

welcome!

I played about with ags a year or two ago; it's a lot of fun.  Kudos for involvement on LGIU.  I look forward to your contributions to this board, and will try check out your games soon as I have a moment to spare.

Hello Indie Gamers,

My name is Grundislav. 
 

Hey Grundislav! :D

Pah, typical. @_@ As soon as -I- make my way over here, all of AGS follows me.

[Nidis]

Hello!

I'm a prospective designer from Melbourne, Australia. That's me on the left.



And that's my girlfriend on the right, shes a member here too somewhere. She does the art and other design side of things. I just made my first post in the Art/Design forum (albeit not the best design idea to open on probably..) and was informed its a good idea to introduce yourself so people know you aren't just plugging your shit, which makes a lot of sense! So I'm here. I've got everything that can be crossed crossed for my chances at getting into Uni next year, I've been assembling/disassembling/creating/messing with/pulling apart games in my head for as long as I can remember and it's fairly decisive that Games Designer is my niche profession, no matter how much I ward myself away from the competitive and overcrowded market. I get good ideas, but to climb the ranks you have to start in either art or programming, or make a lucky design break on a project. So I'm here to join the nerd mating calls and mantras of design and to fling my ideas out into the abyss alongside the others. In the words of Ned Flanders; "Godspeed, little doodle."

You'll be hearing a lot more from me

Hey everyone

My name is Jim, and I've been suckered into the game developing side of things for the past four years or so. I started working on a free game in a system called Active Worlds, and am now working on a game on that same system for release in about a year or so. The game I'm working on is called Ashianae's Journey and you can visit it at www.ashianae.com - I have also begun to dabble a bit in offering tips and tricks to people just beginning to get into the indie game dev scene at www.thegamestudio.com

I will probably post some screenshots of Ashianae's Journey on the feedback forum, as I'm curious to see what people think about the visuals ^_^

I am studying Architecture, but I'd love to dedicate myself to video games, heheh. Nice to meet you all!

Jim

Hi, so my name is Casey, I've been making games for probably 5 or 6 years now.  Mostly in Game Maker, although I've messed around with C# with XNA and Java a little bit.

I haven't really released anything very well known, my most popular game is Lab 14, which in my opinion is pretty bad, but it got really popular at YoYoGames (yeah I know...) but I like having people play my games so I'm not complaining.

Most of my games are pretty short and only focus on a few gameplay elements, but they are hopefully fun for a while anyway.  Most of the games I start, I do because I want to try something I haven't done before and want to see if I can do it, then once I get it working I usually lose interest.  Maybe one of these days I'll go back and finish some of my many unfinished games (I actually have quite a few that are only a few hours away from being completed).

All of my games can be found at my website if you want to check some of them out.

Hi there,
my name is Matthias.
I love to code games on the Super Nintendo and I'm already loving this community here, very friendly atmosphere!

[Gainsworthy]

Now that's a mighty fine shirt.

Aloha!  I'm a butthead from Australia who likes games enough to finally try her hand at making them.  I have pretty much no experience yet, but I've had enough of letting that and "real life" stop me from trying!

Some of my favourite and most influential games are Secret of Mana, Terrangima, Yoshi's Island, Ico and Killer7 (first one to spot the odd one out gets a biscuit).  Apart from games I like all sorts of random junk, including HP Lovecraft which kicked me into joining this form and trying the latest competition.

I'm more inclined towards game design/mechanics and writing than art or programming, but I want to learn a bit of everything.

Pleased to meet you all!
