Greetings all. I've been lurking here for a few days reading the posts for advice and to kind of get to know the regulars. This forum is such a great resource.

I recently decided to go into indie game development with a friend. We've both been messing around with game programming for a few years and decided it was time to stop messing around and just do it. Tis' better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all, right? I've already got a working prototype of the first game. I will need to find an artist soon, though I'm not sure what that is going to cost me (frightening). We should be releasing the first game titled Rox on December 15.

Anyway, I'll likely be asking tons of questions as we get going. I just wanted to say hello and give a little bit of background.

Welcome Doug!

You don't have an artist, but you have a release date? That's kinda backwards. :)

Well, I'm using all prototype art right now that I've found freely distributed here and there. This was to test code. I have an audio guy. Most of the programming and audio is finished and the design allows the 2D art to be easily swappable. The date has been set for a month, but you're right. It will probably have to be pushed back if I don't find an artist soon.
