Some people don't get as much experience as they should... Ok, the title does make sense, but you'll have to follow me :) I want to bring to attention a point that is relevant to this forum. There is not really a question that is being asked here as much as facts piling up, and how I think newcomers could...

Selling Indie... XNA/PC - What is your experience? Hi, So I've been checking on the net to see what kind of sales one could expect from an indie product put onto the XBOX LIVE XNA club and from onsite PC refs. My result is that, the median, was something along those lines: ...

How do you feel about royalties? As a developper, how do you feel when a project offers you royalties as compensation? I usually personally get the feeling the project isn't serious as soon as someone writes "We will share any profit we have..." etc, but I know there are legitima...

[Offering Services to Serious Entrepreneurs] I'd like to clarify the fact I do not expect to be paid upfront, but on a regular basis. Also, I have my own projects underway already, but I understand there are a lot of "visionaries" out there without the appropriate management skills to r...

How to prepare for a QA internship I don't know if this will be any help to you, but I can safely say I secured my first job in the gaming industry by impressing the interviewer with my understanding in two main areas: 1 - Milestones/Workflow 2 - Testing strategies I'll tak...

Indie Studio looking for Writer, Concept Artist & Art Director Just a small heads up here. As with most indie studio, you have no previous projects to show for. That's allright, but I'd recommend it that your ad here asks for someone to contribute with you on a project rather than call it forming a studio...

NHL AI + Rpg Stats System Applications I'm familiar with that series. Unfortunately, I feel this kind of game lacks "real-time elements". It was my initial approach than to build it as a sim/strategy game much akin to this, but I've chosen to go for something where there is actual real-t...

NHL AI + Rpg Stats System Applications While my initial approach was much akin to yours (I used champion and apprentices, and upon the death of a champion, its best apprentice would be chosen, obviously trained by the champion, and thus depicting the same strengths and weaknesses) I like...

How to make a Web-based RPG FUN? While I share part of your concern, you have to know there is a bigger force at will here... the games you seem to like are hardcore gamer related (to a certain degree, even WoW is meant for its own hardcore gamers). Web-games you are referring...
