Newbie Introduction Thread Thread

Hi there. I'm Thomas, and I have just started a new game. It's an RTS game with flOw-like visuals. I am primarily a C++/OpenGL guy, but I've also dabbled in Java, Python and Objective C. I have been a programmer for over 20 years, but I am fairly new to indie game development.
I'm beginning to realise that I probably don't have what it takes to be a successful indie developer. I know how to make games, but I have absolutely no clue about promotion and marketing. So I am sure I am destined for obscurity. :-(

Well sure ill introduce myself the name is Dallas but people call me Tex. I was born and raised in Evansville. im 18 and currently attending college as a video game/graphics designer. I play football and do Shotput as well. I make youtube videos as well but they are mostly for games because its a passion in life. I live in the state of Indiana and I look to take care of other before myself because I believe the stronger the bonds we get with other people the better this world will become

Hi. New to the ModDB forums. Please be kind!
We are a small group of 3, in Sacramento, CA. This is the first time we have started to make games for others to play, we are hoping it works out!
I'm Spooky!  I'm tall, I love reading, video games (especially JRPGS), drinking craft beers and sea monkeys. 
We  have lots that we are currently working on.   Our faerie princess idler should be up on Kong here soon.  Nice to meet everyone!

Good to be here.

Greetings,

My name is Sky. I am from Singapore. I mainly focus on making sound mods for L4D2 since it is the only game that I play the most on Steam. I will be uploading more sound mods soon so give them a try if you wish to do so. That will be all for now.

Hey!

I'm Gordon - on most places, I'm known as getluky, but it just so happens to be taken here! So I've taken on a different name. I've lived all over the US, but ended up in the Los Angeles area to start a family. I started programming by making games for my classmates on the TI-85, and after many years doing backend web stuff, I've finally come back to games once again. I made some iPhone games at my company Goodhustle Studios, but recently have been working on expanding to more platforms like PC/Mac and Android. I'm pretty active on the Unity3d forums, and I've been developing on that engine for about 3 years now. I joined IndieDB because I saw another dev promoting their game here, and it looked like a great place to get involved and share media about upcoming projects. My current project in development is Beast Boxing Turbo for PC/Mac, a first-person boxing game that is an evolution of an earlier iPhone game I've been working on since late 2010. 

Nice to meet you!

Hey everyone I'm Nathan, I've just joined up! I'm a big gamer and I've recently decided to have a crack at some game building, so I'm making my first iPhone game in just 30 days to see just how hard it is!
So far it's been a great experience and I've got plenty of people involved! Everyday I'm posting funny videos and pictures showing exactly what's going on in the project! I'm also offering people the chance to add their ideas and win free copies of the game!
So please check out my page as I'd love to know what everyone thinks of it so far!

Hey, I'm Kareem.

I'm pretty new to programming, but at the moment, I think I have an... acceptable grasp on python.  I do a little art and a little 3d modeling, so basically a Jack of all trades but master of none.  But that's okay, I'm not finished learning and I'm not planning on reinventing the wheel any time soon. 

I'm learning game design and I want to start a commercial project. On my own.  Nothing big, but I'm hoping that my creativity will draw in people.  I'm really helpful for this collection of sites an Desura, which appears to be the perfect platform to launch my project when it's ready.

Hi all, I'm Alam. Strange name? of course. I'm Indonesian, still 13 years old. I'm is mini-mod developer leader, modding for BF2, and i'm still new for it.

My speciality on modding on bf2 is..... code tweaking. That just what can i do, for now. The truth, i want to start learning modelling 3D. But, i still use my old computer, because i dont have money to buy new computer or even upgrade it. But i'm still happy with my computer now, at least it can play COD4 on highest settings and Crysis at medium settings.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi, I'm Rj, and i forgot i even had a moddb profile!

Things that interest me are usually weird, I enjoy the abnormal as well as scary things. Such as creepypasta's (I hope some of you know what that is).
currently I have been interested in modifications of Max Payne and have always have enjoyed the modding of the goldsource and source engine. I currently reside in Maryland, but I hope soon I could visit other places(preferably Europe).

Well that's all I can really say to describe myself at the moment. I'm not very creative when it comes to these things.

Greetings from Romania, Bucharest, ModDb-ers from all over!

I am a passionate space-/land-based RTS-es gamer, used to playing your mods, add-ons, and total conversions quite a lot. Especially those made for "Star Wars – Empire at War: Forces of Corruption" (eg, the Gold Pack); for which I can truly say that I am more than satisfied with the gameplay, in general.  However, I do not possess any attributes for actual 'modding' activities, but e-journalistic ones with an average experience to mention.
Now, in order to make the long story short(-er), me playing like a madman your stuff is the very reason for which I hereby propose a total conversion for you to make... pro bono, namely for "SW – EaW: FoC", one based on the "Stargate" universe - Yeah, another one! - and, to be more precise, on the "SG-1" tv show / serial.   I propose one of the following titles for it:

"Ba'al's (Golden) Conquest"
"Ba'al's (Golden) Odyssey"
"Ba'al's (Golden) Epic",... and so on.

Why Ba'al? And why (potentially) "Golden"? Because, for the first part of the issue, to me – I hope to you, as well –, he is one of the most interesting personae / characters of the SG-1's stories. He isn't intriguing enough, granted, but he might be by re-writing some of his becoming story and, of course, the campaign intros and logs; skirmishes only requires clever(-er) maps and great artwork.  Well, the whole proposed conversion would require this, actually! ))  And, secondly, because this sexy guy – without any gay implications... - never actually played by the rules of a sinister tyrant, like Anubis or, why not, Apophis done and were! In other words, I would like to offer my services as a... storyteller / script writer to any team skilled and willing enough to do... this.   Again, I do not know how to actually 'mod', but I could very well help you with the above-mentioned suggestions and, why not, with additional ones, like ideas on how the ships and land units should look – and behave... - like, on which faction should be (eg, playable) or not, what strength should each of these parties and/or units have, and so on.  The artwork would fall on you.

P.S. 1:  The time to be allotted by me for my storytelling / script writing would be of around 2-to-3 hours a day.  Hopefully, everyday, depending on the desired task to be solved.

P.S. 2:  I am willing to do all these as stated, namely in a pro bono fashion and under the pseudo / nickname: "Gamer_One82".

P.S. 3: Yes, this has been a generally intended message.

With anticipation and respect,
"Gamer_One82"
