TIGJam wrap up/Pictures!

Last weekend I attended a local meet-up called "The Independent Game Jam" (Or TIGJam for short) where indie-game developers from all over north America came to just hang out and make games together. Hosted by Alec Holowka (of infinite ammo, responsible for Aquaria) It was incredible seeing all of the local developers and meeting all these people who flew in from the states. People like AdamAtomic (Creator of Flixel and Canabalt) was there, as well as Jamie Swirsky, the Filmmaker behind IndieGame: The movie. The coolest part about that was learning that Jamie was local to Winnipeg!

-On a side note, Jamie and I actually discussed Exile for at least an hour, or what felt like two..i'm not too sure, and he really gave me some crazy ideas for what to do with the series in terms of marketing. Thanks to him i have a redesigned DevBlog where i've been posting LOADS of info on current events and progression of the series, as well as a Twitter account. I've learned twitter isn't so bad..-

You can check out all of the pictures from TIGJam right here

Next week is the Newgrounds Montreal Meetup! CrazyChihuahua and I are heading out there together to hang out with all of the montreal regs...and Luis. I'm pretty excited to hang out with Evil-Dog actually, we met in Baltimore and are now making a game together. I can tell you now, its gonna be SIIIIICK!

Thaaat's about it, here's a pic of about half of us in the studio showing off our games on a sexy projection screen.

i wish everyone there fucking died

the indie game scene needs to die

I notice that you have well over 17,000 points from medals on Newgrounds flash games. Did you know that if the indie game scene died, you'd have nothing to play? Flash games are Independent games too.

Registar 2010-06-01 19:38:13

also "indie game the movie" is the most embarassingly terrible pretentious thing ever

RiverJordan 2010-06-01 19:38:13

Well you're probably one of the only ones that think that then, seeing as people have already donated over 20,000$ to see the movie get made.

Starogre 2010-06-01 20:28:12

why were only half of you in there?

RiverJordan 2010-06-01 20:28:12

Well, that was a little more than half but the other bunch were to the right of the camera

That's what i thought, but his responses were JUST as lengthy :P Quite a fun talk :D

HinaFledge 2010-06-02 15:23:31

Awesome, I'll have to follow you for the release then. It's definitely on my "To Play" list!

RiverJordan 2010-06-02 15:23:31 (Updated 2010-06-02 16:32:48)

Sounds good! :D I'll probably be posting updates on my work on the game, and all my other stuff on my site as well

full-metal-albatross 2010-06-03 11:00:39

i count, 1...2...3... 5,6,7... yes, a whole room of virgins who wack off to cartoons. That's a good find even though that's a pretty common thing when it comes to newgrounds meetups. I'd high five you but your palms are probably sticky.

I just found this AMAZING new hentai site, all the downloads are FREE and it contains a bunch of exclusive pictures and movies no other site has! It's called <a href="http://hentshare.com">http://hentshare.com</a> and if I were you I would download as much as I could before they start making you have to pay!
