I finally did it - The Indie Retro News Website lives!

Pretty much though I prefer it if it didn't have a publisher, like the kickstarter lot!

If it has independent ideas then I could post it, but i'll avoid anything from EA/ACTIVISION e.t.c

It's been a great week, but also very challenging it's something I've wanted to do for a VERY long time. Of all the years of forum posting I've never had a place I could call my own and be my own boss :p, sure posting indie and retro news threads was fun but apart from the sticky at the top I was never able to spread so far out on the net.

I've always given you guys the latest news and made a lot of friends on ocuk and other places, yeh i've made a few enemies but that will always be in life. Because of what happened recently I thought it was time and not next year to get the ball rolling and really kick the Indie/Retro stuff up a notch!

Here it is http://indieretronews.blogspot.co.uk/

It has everything I've ever done here and more, the entire site/blog was developed by me and it's getting a lot of positive feedback. I did have some teething problems at the start and I still will i'm sure. But it's also good to have another ocuker on board, Good ol MissleMouse :D. I'm not leaving ocuk, i've made too many friends and I did mention the site to both ThundyCat and CaptainRave they both seem to like it.

What's really needed though and i'd prefer to have ocuk guys doing it, we need a better background that fits with the layout/colour scheme. More news contributors and reviewers of Indie and Retro Games.

Sure go ahead :), do you have a link ? either use the contact page on the main website or use trust to send me your email..


Anyone else interested in news contribution or reviews?, come on with all these people on ocuk gaming section someone must be interested somewhere :D
 
As i said in the other thread, i'm doing a major article regarding Wing commander e.t.c

Expect it sometime this afternoon, it's taking me nigh on 2hrs so far to write :)

But time for lunch
 
GOOD NEWS

For our contributors anyway ;)

I've created a Temp indie retro blog, which means that i can have new authors added to the temporary one and get them used to the site, the layout e.t.c without ever affecting the main one and it's completely private and hidden. So once they are happy and it's ready they then can be added to the full site :)
