Don’t forget SoCoder!
It’s a little busy at the minute, since most of the active community are busy with life/work/school, but it’s still a community, and there’s at least one game a week being posted

Have you checked out GameSalad.com? It’s for Mac and iPhone game creators. Many of which are non-programmers building games.

Lexander, no i didnt knew that site but it seems that they only offer commercial titles and furthermore, as you said, only for mac an iphone which i don’t own…
(that is perfectly ok but the above mentioned sites are focusing on windows games and they are also reporting about free games – at least to a certain degree…)
but thanks for the suggestion anyways.

P.S. There’s another good Italian website about indie games. http://www.indievault.it. They’ve made some cool interviews to me and other indie developers

Indie Vault looks also pretty good…

->I also added a nice index at the beginning of this post for more clarity.

A small group of developers started up a site recently where we post about and work on our own games. It sort of fits the description, if you’d like to take a look: http://braingaleteam.com/
