Don't be too bad with them.
I feel these guys have the potential to become as good as the best. At least as good as legendary studios like Majestic Studios.
Just keep working hard

I saw this exact same post on another forum around six months ago...
Looks like they're having a rather hard job on finding a decent programmer for some strange reason. =P

[Melly]

I get the feeling they might be a bit too naive about all this.

They're serious about it :D

What's scary is that I know a guy called J-Fizzle from my old community, but I'm pretty sure that it just can't be this guy. He was like 12 and never made a post about programmers.

Uuuhhh, this thread is around six months old...

Anyway, thanks for the update Rinku. I was gonna come here and post about this, but I would probably just get "bant" again. Derek Yu need to unban me (see what I did there  ). Or maybe, you could just post this on TIGsource eh?  I mean, we got newsworthy written all over us. Am I right? Am I right???

PS: I was trying to think of a slogan for our company. What do you guys think of "The Last of The Gangster Programmers"

PPS: Sorry for spamming your forums

Newsworthy, no. But slightly entertaining though, in the same way that the Jackass guys are entertaining (though not to the same extent as them)

I dunno. I've known about this for roughly half of a day and it already got old.

[Alex May]

Seems like the real deal to me, now. At least they have all the required elements of making a game: programmer, artist, designer, and passion.

Yeah, I agree with that. I guess I was only making the point that there's a place for simple people running around making fools of themselves

I dunno. From the impression they make they are more concerned about publicity and bling-bling than with actual game development. I mean, it's completely fine to advertise for your game a bit, but mostly I just hear them say how fucking awesome their game is going to be and how much you fail if you don't join their mailing list. Yet the info they give about the actual game makes a mediocre impression at best, and they only offer one rough piece of concept art that doesn't look very impressive either. The little info I could gather about the game only reveals to me that they haven't even really decided on what kind of game it's going to be, just a rough idea of what would be cool to have.
If I look at the pictures in their team profile, I get the impression it's indie music they're making, not indie games. One claims to be a marketing genius, yet they market THEMSELVES more than their actual game. And seeing that five of these guys claim to be designers, you'd figure they would have more of an idea about what their awesome game actually is.

Note, that's the impression they make on ME, judging from the info J-Fizzle gives and what I can read from the site. I am not trying to give this a negative ring or anything. This is what the whole thing appears to me from a largely objective standpoint.

[Alex May]

I think you're taking them too seriously.

[handCraftedRadio]

They are making the best game ever? Noooo! Why didn't I sign up to be their programmer before they got banned! Now I'll never be able to join J-Force games! Thanks a lot Derek. This was my one chance to shine and you blew it, again, just like all those times in highschool.

There's no point in trying to make games anymore, i'm throwing my computer away, and I suggest you all do the same. This is my last post.

I LOL'D for
"It will be better than Small Arms and Geometry Wars and Everyday Shooter. It will be better than Darwinia. And...it will be better than Aquaria. It will be the best, indie game, ever."

[Don Andy]

I think they got me at

This whole "best game ever" thing really only stems from the fact that we think most indie games suck, and we think we could do better.

Picture this. A 2D top-down shooter with the exterior of a fighting game...

Dude, you just made the best game ever! Congratulations!

[Annabelle Kennedy]

the worst part of all.. is that everyone's reacting to them. hes a TROLL, you guys.  If everyone ignores these him.. their collective ego's will fade into nothingness and they'll wither away, and be depressed.

[ஒழுக்கின்மை (Paul Eres)]

I don't think he's a troll, that video is too elaborate to be a joke. A troll is someone who just posts to annoy people.
