I had this idea that might make making games a bit easier. I know it might sound wild & crazy but I thought that if several people got together to form a club/tribe/clan, or whatever, it might be easier/quicker to make a game. I don't know if it has ever been tried before but one of the good things about it would be that each 'tribesman?' can specialize in a particular role. It might also let you to take on a more ambitious project because there are more people doing it and once the game gets finished it will be more prominent and so more people will see it and so more people will play it.
This is probably all just errant talk though because from what I can see indie game development is supposed to be done alone (that's why its called independent) and no-one is actually supposed to play the games (It's for ones own amusement, right?)  Tongue

many "indie game" developers practice "tribe" model.
often, cannibalism is involved.

Sounds more like hobby game development which I guess is independent too.

Sure. Or any other word that describes a group.

That's what you get when you glue a bunch of tribes together.
