What is the point of the Indie forum?

I don't quite understand, it isn't listed in the main banner thingie - forum> community interaction > ... it only shows if you click "Forums" and go to the Forums index.

It seems to be the same forum as announcements (which is listed in the banner thingie).

http://www.gamedev.net/forum/161-indie-projects-awesomesauce/?sort_key=last_post&sort_by=Z-A is the forum I am talking about

Mobile Developer at PawPrint Games ltd.

(Not "mobile" as in I move around a lot, but as in phones, mobile phone developer)

(Although I am mobile. no, not as in a babies mobile, I move from place to place)

(Not "place" as in fish, but location.)

It's part of a new experimental section of the site that's still under construction and therefore isn't included in the main navigation yet.

It might make more sense if you access it via this link rather than the forum view:

What do you think? :)

oooaa I like VERY much!!

seen as a lot of people post host their blog on this site, I think it would be nice if there was a section (with in the project page) to their journal.

O! Cute one.

A few suggestions:

- add "Browser" as target platform (otherwise I can't add my Europe1300 biggrin.png)

- add FB and Twitter links (similar to website URL), since it's standard nowadays and many/some people want to check these instead. And maybe a dev log link?

- a similar "URL link to GDNET topic about your project" maybe? Could be useful for many reasons (like if people want to talk about it here)

- add categories if it's a game (arcade/RPG/adventure/simulation/strategy) [just like on Steam] and allow searching by these (edit: I just noticed these on the right, I don't know, somehow these are not so intuitive/obvious...)

- clicking "Buy the game" should open a new tab (so no leaving the GDNET)

- platform icons should be displayed at the bottom of the "project box" (on the right side of the ranking)

But overall it looks very nice.

^ post had -5 rep, I upvoted and it went to -6

It doesn't seem to happen when I upvote any other projects (I upvoted EDI's reveal, and it went to +1 )
