Why My Game Is A Total "Indie" Game

Well? Why is my game a total "indie" game? Indie game means that you publish the game yourself. I am doing that, so what makes it "total"? For one, I am making this game myself, from textures, all the way to code. What else is a good reason? This blog is maintained by me, (but hosted on google), as well as the main site. You may have seen some of the old, buggy site versions. Right now, my site has been majorly updated about 3 times, not counting small updates.

Well, there still seems to be more that I do by myself, or plan to do by myself. I am thankful for google hosting my blog now on blogger, but eventually, I plan on setting up a web/dns server to host my own site. You don't need to understand that, but basically, I am planning to run a machine that hosts my site.

Do I have any help on anything? Yes, of course I have some help. All of you readers are my help! By reading my blog, and providing attention, you support my game. If no person is part of my game when the forums come out, (yes, I said forums) and the game is released, my game will be an EPIC FAIL!!!

What else do I have help on? Ok, so no body actually helps my physically on the project, but I get lots of tips and help from the LWJGL Forums. I would not be able to even start on this project without their help. I also receive moral support from the Epic Inventor Forums, who are kind enough to let me link to my site from the forums. Anyway, I appreciate the motivation from the people at the Epic Inventor Forums.

What is the point of this post? The point is to tell you "I am making this game totally by myself", so you know that by supporting my game, you are supporting an indie programmer, not some big company like Nintendo, or EA. This also enables me to make my game  free for a while. Anyone who registers during V1.0.0 gets a free account forever. If you don't register before a few updates, you will have to pay for the game. Remember to register early, and you get a free copy!

Thanks for your support,
Doc
