"The game is a top-down shooter with the exterior of a fighting game. It boasts the most diverse character line-up of all time. Picture this: a modern soldier, a robot centipede, a ninja made of sand & glass, a spider-vampire hybrid, a ball-n-chain wielding samurai, a living black hole, an evil wizard, a super hero flower man, monster aliens, giant bugs, stampeding wildebeests, and zombies…all in the same game. If that doesn’t sound like the best game ever, then maybe you should just stop playing games right now."
That doesn't sound like the best game ever and I don't want to stop playing games right now.
I'm a bit skeptical because none of you have created a game before and for your first indie game you intend to sell 5000 copies...?
But I don't mean to be pessimistic, good luck.

Heaven forbid! This project is going places, I can feel it. Places where men dare to dream. Godspeed, random manbaby. |

Man, their main page is gold.
If I ever join a team of game developers, I'm going to make sure that we have at least one guy with ripped abs who stands half-way in shadow to look like a UFC contestant and one black guy whose blackness we can play up as much as possible.

Good news! It's torture waiting for our game, we know, but you can play these games in the meantime. These are some of the best indie games ever, so you should find something you like. When you do, buy it. Every purchase supports the development of our game and will help make it even better. Also, we add new games often, so stay up to date by reading the blog. And get hyped before you play, WATCH THE TRAILER FIRST.
Is this legal? I am all for helping to publicise other people's efforts, but did the original creators of this software give you permission to use thir work in this manner? |

They don't quite understand how "a walk" works. Or what sidewalks are for: "Don't be like this guy!" Then again, they have done research on marketing, so I guess I'll just have to sign on their mailing list now. |

Oh, well that was less shadey than I originaly thaught. Good luck finding a programmer. If you have all the art and design done you have a better chance of netting a programmer than some great idea and nothing else. If I were in your boat I would post as much concept art and sample sprites as I could. It shows commitment and will put you ahead of all the other game designers in need of programmers. |

Out of all the many responses I've gotten, this is definitely the funniest. |

Oh brother. The sheer ego on this guy is amazing. But you guys should at least sign up for our mailing list. Seriously. Surely you are curious to see if we succeed or not. Hehe, um... no. |

J Fiddy, your marketing skills are obviously not quite as magnificent as you seem to think they are. You appear to be of the belief that advertisements must be jam-packed full of completely unrealistic hyperbole. These things sound like they were written as you gazed longingly into a mirror and made sweet, sweet love to yourself.
Ask yourself this: if your team can, with its first indie game, make a revenue of $100,000, why are all teams of independent developers not so successful? What sets you apart? Dedication and skill play a role in the creation of many independent games, but only a handful of them are commercial successes.
The internet is the land of skeptics, and you need to remember that.
By the way, your website is pretty much fugly. I hope it isn't an example of your brilliant designer's "unique, gritty style."
I hope your game is a success. In the mean time, though, you need to take your ego down a peg or twenty.
Make a new website, too. At the moment, all you have is a few currently unsupported promises about your game and then a whole lot about how much you love yourselves.

Ahahaa, the responses on gamingw.net are priceless :D Also, just... wow: Google results for 'JForceGames.com need programmer' Our old boy J-Fiz is definitely tenacious. Hell, he even spammed Sun's forums. |

I've heard J Fizzle isn't even a real person. He's an algorithm run wild on the internet: an abstract idea which exists on many platforms and in many places simultaneously.
