Okay…so I was trying to get one working, and now we have one. I was having issues with it before, but now everything is stable. If you want a newsletter, you can manage that stuff over there —->>>
In case anyone was wondering about the lack of posts recently…well it’s because we’re taking the week off. Just so ya know. We know you’re missing us. (you are missing us right?)
Well, surfing the the IndieGames.com Weblog I happened upon this article.
2Bee Games is now indiePub Games, and not only that, they are also running a indie game developer competition….the grand prize is $100,000!
Yea…100k. The “Community Favorite” (determined by community votes) will win $5,000, which is still a great prize. Not only that but the five Public Recognition winners will all get $1,000. Oh yea…and on the submit page it clearly states: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. All of you indie developers need to go check out the rules and submit your game before July 31st, and if you have any questions post them in the forums. Honestly…what do you have to lose?

I just wanted to post this because of the fact that I have deleted alot of users I considered bots over the last few weeks (and months I think). If you were a registered user that was a human you can now re-register.
I just did some more deleting just now, to ensure that all the bots were gone. Because of the new captcha addition I don’t plan on deleting alot of bots in the near future (that’s not an invitation). I made sure to Google your emails so I don’t think I got any humans. If that is not the case sorry if I deleted you, if you want to flame me for deleting you now is the time, just comment if you were deleted. If not then that’s a good thing, we’ll accept you anyway.
As I was searching the web yesterday and happened upon “The Big list of Indie Game sites“. Well I contacted the poster and thanked him for putting us up on his list of links (and the intent to give more press to Kino One
).
Well because of this, Simon “AuthenticKaizen” (aka the Pixel Prospector) contacted us with the news of his new “Pixel Prospector” site. Pixel Prospector / INDEV is Simon’s website which focuses on free indie games and posts about them, but what will the new Pixel Prospector site be? Well according to his post here:
“So, what will the new site offer you may ask…
As you know the INDEV part focuses on games in development and the main site will offer you this:
* 200 Freeware Games that are actually completed
* 1 new game a week
* Nice Gameplay Videos for every game
* 5-10 screenshots
* 10 min trailer that includes all 200 Games.”
Simon told me that the new website will be released soon, as a matter of fact, his exact quote was:
“defnite launch date: end of may
”
So if you want some indie gaming for 0 dollars and 0 cents then you should probably check that out when the new site is released. The site will be available at: http://www.pixelprospector.com/ so be sure to watch for updates.
Feedback has been given to enable non-user comments, and well…why not?
Well I decided to add a captcha to the comment form (thanks to this great plugin), so now you can post your comments without registering, although if you wanna register, go ahead. We don’t bite….much.
Thanks for the feedback Pixel Prospector!
This post is a two part post, first off, I want to give credit to IndieGames.com for having this posted so I could find it. The original post I found this was here. I was originally just going to post the news about it, but the second part of this post is that it’s a Indie Game Spotlight for this game. Here ya go:

Well TNTBF was created as a contest entry into the YoYoGames “design a handheld game” competition. Because of this the game is free. Of course, upon first examination of the game I thought “hey something to post in the blog” then I downloaded it to see what it was like. What entailed was me spending around 30mins to an hour beating the game, dying over 200 times. Yes over 200 times, and I enjoyed every minute of it!
This game is…wow…that’s all I can say. Some might not get it and might not get as addicted, but I REALLY enjoyed it. Jonathan ended up chiming in while I was playing it and we were exchanging comments about how “i was addicted”. The game starts to get hard but pulls you in greatly. This game is definitely recommended, and you can’t take it at face value, play the game. If you like it, tell us or Jesse, his website is below where the game’s link is. If you hate it then you probably never played a nintendo and should really do something about that.
To sum it up, They Need to be Fed is great, it’s an awesome freeware game that will push you into beating it the moment you start playing and I did enjoy it thoroughly. I recommend playing it.
