This is an incredible resource. Well done!

:)

Great list! I’m sure many aspiring indie groups will be able to use this as a starting point.

Quick suggestion for links:
-Under the game development section, adding a link to an Android dev kit would be good. I believe Coke and Code used the Java2D API for Legends of Yore, which should be easy enough to use as Android is based primarily on Java.
-A link to Unity3D (http://unity3d.com/). Though a Pro version is expensive, the indie version is free and still very robust and easy to use. The engine tries hard to bridge the gap between programmer and designer/graphics artist. I use it now for my games and love it (though it’s networking side lacks a little). I think it also allows for packaging the game to Windows, Mac OS X, and browser in the indie version. However, I think they request you buy a license after so many copies of your game are sold.

Again, great list! Bookmarked and will try to keep up with updates. I will spread the word.

brainelg, thanks for the android suggestion (as soon as i have enough resources about android game development i might add such a section). Oh and Unity is great and already listed on the big list of game making tools ;)

Oh wow, this site really is something else! It’s like the resources site I’ve wanted to create for years now, but you actually did it. Bravo!

You can bet I’ll be sending people this way regularly, be it students or the various aspiring game developers who email me all the time.

ChevyRay, I’m glad you like it and i really appreciate your support man!

This is amazing. I just had a quick peek into some categories and there are just so many great resource sites and articles.
Every indie developer and those who want to become one should have a look at this!
I’m already looking forward for some updates.

The Big List Of Programming Languages & Source Code Editors

Can’t wait for this one , this page is the greatest i’ve ever stumbled upon on the internet . Honestly a huge resourse page .

Glad to hear that you like the site :)
Currently I’m working on the Website Creation articles…
after that I’m gonna finish the Big List Of Programming Languages & Source Code Editors.

It should be nice if you talk about HTML5 games and where’s possibile to publish them

Consider to check out this comprehensive article called The Reality of HTML5 Game Development and making money from it.

How about educational resources? I’d recommend:
http://www.codecademy.com/
https://www.coursehero.com/
http://www.udacity.com/
https://www.coursera.org/

These are chock full of computer courses for web design and general programming and development as well as business resources. I’m also sure that http://mitx.mit.edu/ will have plenty of computer courses before too long.

Also, a good resource for learning how to go about taking advantage of open courseware: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMITChallenge?feature=watch

Udacity has a game development course starting soon. The emphasis is on HTML5, but it seems they will cover gamedev pretty broadly.

I just can’t believe, how much efforts it takes to provide such wide range of useful, well-structured information. Really great job! Now I definitely want to be an independent developer.

The Big List Of Programming Languages & Source Code Editors (Coming Soon… In Development)

:(

Oh… due to other stuff I somewhat forgot this article… therefore thanks for reminding :)
So I’ve just published the unfinished thing here:

• List of Programming Language Resources
• List of Code Editors

I hope it helps a bit… :)

It sure does, I like knowing this page as the motherload of indie resources free for all to see and learn from.

Here’s a list of game developer resources over at unlike kinds

Hi again,

Do you have a big list of indie studios? Just curious. THanks

You have a very well organized set of resources but are lacking regarding to asset creation using Sketchup such as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekyROhih55M

Also, a well maintained list of free development server options supporting various types of online games would be helpful.
:)
