Good day! I know there's a lot of money in games but I didn't experience doing it and also I'm not an I.T so I don't have broad idea on that. I'm very proud people who doing games in computer and I know they're brilliant . Thank you because you make us happy and enjoy your games.

Best Regards,

If you ever decide to come back, we should talk.

Yeah.. totally agree on that. We need a new TA forum and just for indies.

Can you help me what this TA means? I have a dedicated server running and would be happy to create a new resource for that especially for indie devs like us!!!

I've very good experiences with forums administration and server stuff so it might be worth a try. Would you join such an experiment?

TA = toucharcade.com

Pretty much the biggest iOS gaming site around (made by the people behind macrumors)

I'd join for such an experiment for sure. But I think we need to focus on INDIVIDUAL INDIES. Make the forum similar to TA (in terms of accessibility)
and try to gather people...

Yep, that's the idea. So not another review site but something with value. Any name suggestions?

Thanks, but right now I don't think it's going to happen, unless to retire...
I have two kids now and and a business with ties in EU (the code for my third game is being developed by third party), so I'm afraid that ship has sailed.

I will always love New Zealand though. I have never met so friendly people anywhere else in the world. Not to mention that after hitch-hiking both islands up and down I think it's the most beautiful place in the world.

How goes the results of your FAAD promotion?

Just pulling words out of my brain - UnderTheRadar?

I tried contacting TA to get a review when we first released Jungool and they totally ignored us

Anyway I'll keep everyone posted on how our "freemium" game goes. Still a month or so off release though.

Hehe, sounds good!

How important you think would be a .com domain? Would .net or .org be enough?

I ask because tons of .com domains are given to domain sellers. :/

So I had the idea to use something like appihilator.com or ingadev.com (indie game dev) or appfos.com (apps from outer space) or igdo.net/org (indie game dev org), appmixer.net/org...

I don't think it matters whether it is a .com or .net or a .org. if you can get crowd to gather there and make them feel at home, nothing else matters.

ingadev.com sounds weird, but who knows. all the other names seem fine to me.

Xaron · 01-31-2012, 07:55 AM

Hehe, yes. I think I name it CobbleSpot.

That's a thing one can remember even though it's somewhat generic.

Of course I can't know how this will develop if at all but maybe we can just discuss this in another thread - so about ideas, content, forum sections and so on.
