Hi all,

I have worked in the game industry for about 8 years and about 6 months ago I decided to go indie. So I put my dancing shoes on and started developing my first major independent game. Now this means I am an amalgamation of all development roles, a kind of super developer, but the role I am struggling with most is PR.

So are their any friendly developers / journalists out there that can take me under their wing? Where do journalists linger? Anyone fancy a pint?

Here is an early pre-alpha video of the game I am making if you're interested: Paradox -> http://youtu.be/EfZcmWmxIUs

Other than that, I wish everyone a happy New Year and lots of merriment while the year ticks out!

P.S Feel free to PM me.

Burvey Yeah, I do agree and I probably will not got go dark on the UI. I want a strong playful contrast between the UI and the game graphics so it's reminiscent of the typical mobile game style but has surprisingly dark content in game.

I will definitely improve the quality of the grey buttons as I think they have lost quality while I was resizing them up and down in C2. However, that will probably just mean reimporting. I will see when I get to that point.

I do however value each and every persons opinion. It's really nice to get comments and feedback on this thread. I'm five months into development, working from home, while also being a stay-at-home dad, so not seeing many like minded people at the mo.

— Thanks. I will go through and replace the buttons at some point. I made the present low res ones quite some time ago. Not quite sure what they will look like yet but it will be fun playing around getting it right.

Any ideas regarding button and ranking themes?

Aphrodite Well if you need some pointers on the wrappers give me a shout.

alvarop I have sacrificed many things to be an indie developer. Clothes has not been one of them. Although funnily enough I also told people to get me clothes as I was starting to run low on my new found indie income. I couldn't work naked though.. too many hazards when laptops are in the mix. It's too burny! >:)

Beaverlicious Yeah that's some good sh*t. I thoroughly recommend watching the BBC Sherlock series -> http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/5BnCVjDxp6fVMzLmnLLQxSQ/sherlock-holmes

Aphrodite I have a dedicated office however I still find myself working in all sorts of peculiar positions and locations. I also have a Wii U, but unless I make a ton of money on a game I wont develop for it as you need a dev kit which is about $2.5k Now you have a smartphone will you start to care about C2 mobile dev?

Valerien That'll be sugar rush code then

I got one of these so I can use the same gamepad throughout all my devices!
