We are updating our game by the end of this month, and would love to be in the calendar. slicksandslide.com, browser-spawned Java.

Jusso, I have just read your last post regarding this project. It’s perfect the door/window/area concept. This way all developers will be happy. Any idea about site name?

Good luck for the IGF submission Juuso!

Agree on the marketing twist for indie xmas! We would be interested to participate with our game AI War : Fleet Command.

Looking forward to see what’s happening. :)

Tom: yeh, there’s been some action going “behind the scenes” already. I aim to start this thing on Nov 2 with more action steps.

(IGF submission deadline on Nov 1 -> getting my game ready by that ;))

Juuso is absolutely right. If we are to make this happen before Christmas, it might be a good idea to start with the site implementation. For instance, I will be glad to offer help with coding tasks. Maybe someone can help with graphical design tasks ? Any audio/video artists ?

Beam Me Up Scotty, I’m in. I’ll have a trailer/gameplay video by then.

Sounds like a plan to me, count me in as well.

I could do with a few extra sales round about now 8-)

Jason: that’s the whole marketing story. If it was “indie games all around the year”… then what’s the news in that? There’s already indie portals selling games all around the year. Reflexive, Steam, Manifesto… I don’t see how this could possibly compete with those. (Plus: operating this takes time & effort & server capacity – thus in a long run it couldn’t be “100% goes to indies” – and it would soon evolve to one more portal…)

So, the story in this would be to have “indie xmas”. To get the press interest.

It’s simply a marketing twist in order to get attention. Stories are important… Does this make any sense now? :)
