Game Industry Tweet - J Force

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

:shock:

The term "game developer" is becoming looser than a retired prostitute these days, I see.

This site has only been registered for 3 months, I guess they are taking in anybody.

If you can call Zynga a game company, and Bill Mooney a game developer, then yes, this is true.

I really don't have anything against JForce being labeled as an independent game developer (or in a broader sense, part of the game industry). They did release a title for the X-Box, granted, it was more of a mini-game. The game they're about to release, "Unstoppable", looks pretty impressive though...

Of course JForce is considered an indie game development team. They have every right to call themselves that. But a registry of VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS? Are you fucking kidding me? We (the ES team) aren't video game industry PROFESSIONALS.

You can just tell them to add you if you're "missing from the list". Time to make myself a Twitter account and enlist as a PROFESSIONAL.

Good point. I didn't read the "PROFESSIONALS" part. A lot of devs on that list aren't professionals. I'll have to follow up with what Bakkon, Hebron, and Leon suggested. :lol:

Not sure why, but I was browsing their website today to see if they had made any 'real' games since their Samurai Kirby ripoff and I stumbled across their sales stats

http://jforcegames.com/blog/index.php?s ... wdownsales

Am I reading this right? Have they actually netted $40k off of this game?
