One thing I noticed about Kongregate, that I remember from GarageGames is that there are a lot of people who want to make games who have literally none of the skills posting. The reality is, doing games on a budget NEARLY necessitates possessing at least one of the two skills (art or programming) because you require the manhours to get it done and everyone fancies themselves as a game designer (the folks that actually come up with the concept).

Not saying this to dissuade anyone or taking anything away from this story b/c truly it’s awesome.

My unasked advice for anyone going down this path: make sure the projects you get involved in have a programmer on board and preferably as the project leader as they set the pace and are MOST necessary for completion.

In all seriousness, this is super cool and very exciting. The indie game dev scene is really developing and it looks this may be another good step forward.

Resources like this are awesome. Digital media is at a point of convergence, and its great to see sites encouraging cross platform collaboration. I think I have just lost all of my Tuesday =D

Thanks!
