IndiGameDev?/ NGREDSN?/ EFZ_Vol2?

Posted by LewToons - February 28th, 2012


So recently I have been feeling very ....entrepreneurial mostly because of NBC's Shark Tank
So I was thinking of taking some legitimate time to start an independent flash game studio with a site and everything( perhaps doing some smart phone games as well?) - I'll buy up the domain name and we'll see what we can do. I just graduated So i will probably start working full time soon - but i'd love to try this as a sort of part time thing - I was thinking of looking for some of the other positions locally by me in mpls through craigslist or something - but figured i'd throw it by newgrounds first.

Some other places in the team would be:
-Lead programmer as2 or as3(front end web dev as well)
-Conceptual designer / secondary artist ( perhaps taking over web dev if they know the code)
-musician/sfx (this would likely be outsourced though)

So if your an artist or level designer or programmer let me hear from ya, would you like to consider joining the idea? hit me!
================================================
===================

Newgrounds Redesign!

yes i know it's a bit late to review on the fp - but i really just don't have a whole lot of criticism for it! It took me a little while to get used to the loudness of the visual style vs the old design - but by now it's become normal to me again -

there is just ONE thing i would like to see added in - - I love how they added in the Artist names on the FP movies and game posts - but when you go to the "movies" tab to see the "latest" or "greatest" you get no artist names..which i think would really benefit from having them (also when viewing the classic portal - those rollovers would be nice )

otherwise -AWESOME WORK NEWGROUNDS CREW - the site kicks TESTICLE VAGINA
================================================

and for anyone who cares - there has been a bit of a lull in production for EFZ Vol2 but it is well on its way with all the sound mixing, animatics and backgrounds DONE! ( screen cap of a few of the animatics below)

Hooray for Ee Eff Zee!

Good luck on this studio thingummy, too!

SANK YUU >.<

You should probably specify your plans more than just "wanting to start a indie studio", but starting a studio sounds catchy already.

yeah -- specifics is definitely something i can bat around with anyone who is interested ( i guess the idea is that i want a few players on board to collectively decide what the studio would really BE - so its more of a group choice)

mpls hm. does that mean you're looking for people to work with in real life as opposed to over the internets?

honestly i would be willing to do either - - if there were people that i knew were willing to commit over the net, than i would definitely do that route as well.

I think you should definitely make App games for iOS or Android (or both). it's a flourishing market that you must take advantage of it.

Good luck bro!

thanks man! - yeah doing both would probably be ideal

Glad to see you're still hard at work on EFZ Vol 2 as well as other things. Can't wait to see the progress.

Thanks a lot man - should be a lot of content coming over the next month!

Very nice! I never really did the whole storyboard thing... should probably get around to trying that... can't wait for ep 2, though!
