Meaningless Post!

WooHoo!

This is simply a cry of exultation!

Putting together a game with the TGE is so easy. I've been working hard over Christmas on our game and I've got to say that you can get results really fast if you plan ahead and know what you want.

In under two weeks, I've put together a huge portion of our game with little effort. I don't care what anyone else says, the TGE is the best thing to come along for indies, ever!

I'd like to think that I'm pretty advanced when it comes to coding but I would never of dreamed that I could get such results in such a short period of time!

I told you it was a meaningless post ... I guess I'm just dead chuffed. :)

I just want to say am a Melv May fan, and 60% of the reason I forked over the 100 bucks, is that I spent some days reading the posts he made here and there, and I got impressed with how helpful and skilled he is. Most people I know outside GG are one or the other, but almost never both.

No, I will not ask any special favor from Melv now, lol B) That was a free compliment. I will just bill him later.. heheh j/k.

ya, torque is definitely the best thing of all time, I went from almost complete newbie to actualy making a real modern game in 6 short months. With a little inteligence and determination you can do anything with it, no matter how much or how little experience you have :)

Melv, I had no idea you were working on a game, you should submit a shot, I cant wait to see what you have done :) please tell us more about it!

I also used some time over x-mas to catch up on some things, and with Torque my game is moving right along! :-)

We'll definately be getting some more details out as soon as we are ready.

The deadline for completion is end of March and we're currently bouncing off walls trying to meet that target but you will be seeing plenty of content from us before then so I would ask that you be patient with us.

For now though, all I'm going to say is that you're in for a real treat. ;)

Also, in case you're interested, here's our humble little company ... Indie Skunkworks.
