[gregs]

Hello.

I am a 30-something ex-medical researcher, who had to do a lot of graphics programming as a part of his research. After several years of illness, I decided to come back to graphics programming by starting a little web design company with game programming tacked on, as it is something I'm quite good at, and as I'm still ill, it's something I can do when it's possible.

There are so few indie communities, it seemed like a good idea to join this one when I found out about it.

Hi I am new.
  Oh my god...
I am not sure how much I will attend these forums, but since this introduction thread seem to be mandatory, I present myself here.

I am mostly a programmer, but I can make some 3D game art. You know, modeling, rigging and stuff like that.

Hello guys!
I'm a music addict and also a coder when I have free time.
My main project is a platform game that's being done from the ground up for a really long time because I'm a really busy person . (Sometimes I make some other small silly games too.)
Never showed 'em in the intarwebs... who knows... maybe one day?
See ya guys!

Hey everyone, im Oscar Gomez an indie programmer. I attend the University of Houston and im going for a Bachelors in Computer Science. Any Coogs out there contact me I would love to talk to a fellow indie game maker.

I started programming in middle school on a TI-83 plus, and thats when I found out I wanted to do this for a living.

I have been working on a 2D Platform RPG Shooter since around May 2008, I just recently started making head way since I found some people interested in helping me out on the game. I plan on entering it into the Student IGF Competition. I originaly started working on it to learn more aspects of game programming, but since I recieved good comments I plan on taking this as far as it will take me and now my team.

Here are some screen shots:





You can check out the game's history and other stuff here.
I would love to hear everyone's thoughts.

Thanks.

Hey guys and gals,

I've been reading the forums for a couple months now as I've been freeing up some spare time to start working on creating games and it wasn't until recently that I've actually joined.

I'm a graphic design intern(paid, yay!) by day and slowly working in some GameMaker learning by night.

This site has been a huge inspiration and help in getting started towards something I hope becomes a big deal eventually. Making  games.

Howdy good people.

I am a silly teenager, and I like to make music. 
To compose game soundtracks is a dream I have (hopefully on a professional level when I get old and stuff).
I did make a song for Daniel Remar's mind blowing platform shooter IJI.
The boss track that is.

Anyways I have kinda hard getting into new forums but I hope I'll enjoy this place good enough to stay for a while.

And for a little of my musicz: http://www.myspace.com/likfisken

Hi, nice to meetcha!

I'm Kelly, but if you want to call me Atuun that is cool too! I've been lurking for the better part of a year after searching for pixel art tutorials and, of course, finding Derek's, which led me here...and to indie games. I still can't draw pixel art, but I can write music; I don't have a site with all my songs uploaded on it so here's two things I recently did: a MIDI and a chiptune, which sadly lies unfinished. (It's a Screamtracker mod; most module players should be able to play it).

Other than that, I'm not too interesting. My first game was an edutainment game with a medieval facade written in BASIC that asked you simple addition questions and played a beep through the internal speaker if you were right (it did that if you were wrong too, but I ignored those). Perhaps coincidentally, I'm currently taking Math in university, but I'll probably go into Computer Something or Other in the fall. I'm interested in learning how to make games, obviously: programming, art, design, etc.. but I'm always ready to try to learn anything new, really. And if I can teach anyone anything, that's even better! Right now I'm working on an interactive fiction game for the Commonplace Comp, but it's probably on the third page by now. :D That'll be my first game completed, hopefully. I'm really good at starting games and not finishing them, so hopefully a deadline will help.

Anyways, enough about me. I'm looking forward to posting here, so see you around!

Haha, that's funny  :D

Salutations!

My name is Wendell! I’m 21 on the verge of 22 and I’m sorta kinda trying to start a videogame company! Officially I have two members but when it boils down I’m pretty much the only guy. I’m the designer, the programmer, the artist, the writer, and now it seems I will have to be a musician. Each-time perfectionism grows in each role I assume, I die a little inside  .
 
I’m a big Nintendo fan.  I’ve been stuck on Mario since I was maybe…10. A few of my favorite franchises would include Mario, Zelda, Bomberman, and Mega Man. My favorite companies would include Nintendo, Capcom, and Konami.

To avoid writing a profile I guess I’ll type a few random points. I fear conversations (hence the small team), live in pajamas, spend a large chunk of my time daydreaming, and like to think of myself as one of the cool nerds.

A few of my favorite franchises would include Mario, Zelda, Bomberman,

It will forever puzzle me why nobody has created a great, free, networked Bomberman clone.  I pop my head up and look around once every year or two, but I haven't found it yet.  The most solid version I've seen so far is still the old Windows Atomic Bomberman running over IPX. 

BomberClone looked promising, but last I checked they had just added network support and you couldn't actually use it.

Fantastic franchise.  Looks like it's gone strictly console now.
