Starting my first indie

Posted by Hypernova on Nov. 13, 2012, 10:28 p.m.

I'm starting an indie inspired by some other indies. There's too many Mario fangames, and I'm sick of doing lame "Here we go!" stuffs. Plus most of them are pretty bad.

If anyone have any suggestions or advise feel free to point that out.

EDIT: A tiny progress on the Miner (Quick Class):

Yep, he's a tiny bit inspired from TF2 engineer.

i think he's trying to say that he's tired of making fangames of well-known games like Super Mario, and now he wants to make a fangame for an indie game. :p

Making only fangames is a real waste of talent. You should probably make your own original game.

I'd personally love to take someone under my wing to program everything for me.

No, seriously. Only if you're willing to implement what you come up with, though; I don't need another "ideas man" hanging around adding to the things I'm really not looking forward to programming.

Maybe if I write a really cool story you could make a game about it? And I help direct the design of it? Because then I guess it's still a fangame, if you're really only comfortable with those.

Why would you say "indie" when you could just fucking say "game" and everyone would understand you much better?

I was also going to point out that you should just make something original instead of basing a game on something else, since cloning an indie game isn't much better than cloning Mario, as both are cloning. Stevenup already beat me to it, though.

My suggestion to you is that you learn the difference between the words "advise" and "advice".

Protip: One is a noun and the other is a verb.

I really hope that the "SC" as the location in your profile stands for something other than South Carolina, or that you're a recent immigrant. And I also hope that the first character of "19" in your age field is a typo.

Rob, I can't understand a word you're given out like a completely a-hole. What are you? 8?

Anyways, Panzermancer, send me a PM for the story concept. I'll credit you. ;)
