My name's Jack, and I make indie games. That is to say, I'm making one now, and I hope you'll like it when it's done, and I hope I'll make some more in the future.
I started programming in 1989, on the BBC Micro, and wanted to make games right from the start. I released a few, in the late '80s and early '90s, games you probably haven't heard of on 8-bit machines you probably haven't heard of. It was before what we do was called "indie", when it was just called "making games", because that's how things were done then. There was a hiatus when I went to college and university, and then I worked in "The Industry" for a bit. For my day-job now I'm still a programmer, but I'm not making games anymore. I do that in my spare time.
I'll do the plug now, and get it out of the way. There's nothing for me to try to sell you yet, just some things you can look at and comment on. This is my website: http://www.lemonscentedgames.com/
It's not been updated for a while because my cohorts and I have been busy with the game. Updates should start happening soon though, and they'll be regular. For the lazy, this is the last video we did of our engine:
The game is set in a paint factory, features fluid physics as its main "thing", and should hopefully tell an interesting story into the bargain.
I'm not sure what else I can tell you as an introduction. Although I've been making games for years, I'm somewhat new to the Indie "scene". It's in my blood, it's what I am to the very core of my being, and I hope that you'll like that. I like what I've seen here by lurking so far, so I hope that there will be much more liking-ness as I kick about here and read things and maybe say things too.
Keep it zesty,
Jack
