Hello one and all! I probably should have started here but I hope you'll forgive me for not seeing Derek's post about forum etiquette ;-)

My name is Konrad, I've been writing code and working on little projects for many years. The first 'game' I made was right back on my first computer which was an Amstrad CPC464. I was quite young at the time but I got impatient waiting minutes for games to load from tape so I started learning BASIC. After university I worked for a few years at a large software company writing server based applications which was great fun for a while, but despite learning a lot the desire to branch out and do something a bit different was strong. I've literally (in the last few weeks) started my indie career and I am currently having a lot of fun working on a game called Isomer (obligatory devlog link).

So hello everyone, I only started hanging out here a couple of days ago but already it seems like a great community 

[digijin]

hi all,

I'm James, I've been making games for a while, best one is probably Kill Kar 2.

I've always kinda done it as a hobby, but these days I'm trying to turn it into a full time job. I've got a lot of experience in flash, but now I'm moving into Unity.

That's a pretty short description but I can't think of much to say, hopefully you'll see me hanging around the feedback forums.

[Niels Bohr]

Hey there my name is David Meade I sometimes go by "Dman757" I've been involved in HL2/Source Modding for a while now but just started my venture into the indie scene with some friends from the modding scene on a project titled "Contagion."

How did I get here?
The first project I ever joined and probably most popular right now is a HalfLife 2 Mod called No More Room in Hell. We were recently among the first batch of Greenlit games on Steam. My main job title is Public Relations but I also help out here and there with Story, 2D VFX/Textures, Programming really whatever I can/have time for.

More recently I joined a small Indie studio called Monochrome games to work a game called Contagion. It's a FPS Co-op zombie survival game. We're still in alpha but we do have this video to show. Also a few screenshots on our website.

That's all cool but what do you do do?
Other than working I currently go to school at Portland State studying computer science. I don't have too much free time but when I do I like to make animated gifs of random things, talk on twitter about games and anime @David_Meade or just play games.

This is me:

[MurderPD]

Hi
I'm Chris.  I mainly write business software.  I started writing a game, not sure why, I guess because I never made one before and it's been kind of fun.  I thought I might post it here.

[Gregg Williams]

Greetings, names Gregg. I co-founded a little retro focused game studio known as Retromite awhile back. I'm the coding head of that joint, with my partner pushing out the awesome pixels.

Finally thought I'd register an individual account here, and perhaps also play with a dev log, given we're starting up on a new PC/Mac game that is likely to take a good year of development or so.

[spicy gyro games]

Hello, I am the one man team called Spicy Gyro Games. I have released one iphone app so far, Clash Force (here), and my new game, Polyroll, should be coming out tomorrow. I am planning to post on this forum during development of my next project, Triceraboy.

Hi,

I'm Paul, Technical Director at a small indie, Three Phase Interactive. We're based in Melbourne Australia and consist of an artist, an animator and a programmer. I'm into cars/bikes and games and I've recently been able to combine those two passions in our current project, Stunt Star: The Hollywood Years.
I love the unique gameplay indie games offer and hope to contribute over the next few years

[Carnefrisca]

Hi,

I'm Giovanni, Software Engineer for a IT company and indie developer/programmer during the night.
Currently I've developed with two other guys (Giuseppe "Misbug" and Piero "Wanderlust") a videogame called "No, Birdie, No!" for the Edge Create Challenge (http://www.edge-online.com/features/edge-create-challenge-2012-best-rest/).

This is a screenshot:


Soon it will be available on Kongregate, and I hope for tablet, too.
A playable "preview" can be reached at the url http://goo.gl/wgoso

I've another pixelart-action-adventure under development, but it's too soon to talk about this videogame.

Cheers,
Giovanni

[alexfislegend]

Greetings. My name is Alex and I develop games (all aspects, primarily level design and programming) at OneSmartBunny, an indie game studio based in Charlotte, NC.

My first contact with games was on the N64. Any and all games. I freaking love that system. After that I went back to the NES and conquered it. While N64 is my #1, Dreamcast is my #2. It was so underrated. Rush 2049, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Sonic Adventure what more do you need?

Programming makes me tick. There's nothing like it in this world.

How I like to imagine myself if I was in Toy Story.

[Coopaloops]

Hey everyone, my name is Cooper and this is my first post here at TIGSource! I've been visiting the site for about four years now, and it has been a constant source of inspiration for me! I am constantly amazed at what the community here can do, and the heart and soul that goes into so many of the projects. I'm eager to get into indie development myself, and have tooled around with some side projects over the years...nothing big to show though haha. I love art and design and do a little bit of programming/scripting/prototyping as well. Nothing super hardcore though. Favorite game of all time is Super Metroid (best clear time is 1:38, 100%), and I am a huuuuge Nintendo fanboy. Super Nintendo was my golden era. Also can't wait for the Wii U! Haha...in any case, very nice to meet you all, and am looking forward to being more active in this community in the future. Cheers!

[1DimensionGames]

Oh hey everyone! My name is Chris Farrell, and I've just started my indie game company and am launching my first game Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/330858688/dysis), my website is http://dysis.net, plus I have been blogging about my development since the beginning of this game at http://tumblr.dysis.net/.

My passion is robotics - I design and build humanoid robots and then compete with them internationally. This is of course why my game features tons of robots! I love programming, and am most interested in AI interactive development.

Thanks for your time!
-Chris

Looks really damn interesting! I sure hope you release it for Linux as well, since you are doing a multi-platform release anyway

Also, are you going to add some kind of light campaign-mode or campaign-creation-system? I'm thinking something like Zeus, maybe?

Hello!

I'm Liz Fiacco, and I've recently founded a small indie game company called Fallstreak Studio.  We're currently working on a mobile game called Axle http://www.axle.fallstreakstudio.com/.

When my life isn't in the world of video games, I play and GM a handful of tabletop games, listen to 80's arena rock, and visit the snow.

Hey, my name is Christopher Schwab and I got into game design about a year ago. I just do the art and my twin brother does the programming. Other than that, I really like playing sports and anything competitive really, which is why games appeal to me. Nice to meet yall!

Hi!

[Fetus Commander]

What's up.  I'm Rudy, 27 year old mom's basement dweller from northern New York.

Nothing too interesting about me, so i'll drop links like everyone else is doing.

Me and my friend have a website where we put up tabletop games we've designed that nobody will ever play.  Have a look if you want, they're all free. 

I spend most of my spare time playing or designing tabletop RPGs.  I have a big hardon for hotseat multiplayer videogames of any kind.  Here's some of my favorites:







I've worked on a few small projects in GameMaker and Construct 2.  Never programmed anything "by hand" besides shitty little calculator apps and dice rollers.

That's about it
