Wonderful article, Ivy. I didn’t even realise Bytejacker was ‘more than just a show’! I’ll have to subscribe here.

I always ‘confess’ to being a games developer, but no-one ever seems to understand what that means. In the end it usually involves me using the phrase ‘I make 3D characters, like in Pixar movies. *pause* No, I’m not an animator, that’s different…”

Looking forward to your next article. No pressure! ;)

Hey Anthony. So I’m an insider, eh? In that case… sure!

@Dave – Since your career is so interesting, I’m sure you have a couple stories that you wouldn’t mind sharing with us for “Inside Indie,” huh?

Maybe, like, a couple Wednesdays from now?

Woo. I introduced Erin to the one person who is working for her. And you should definitely tell people you are an game developer. You will usually trump everyone in the room in the “who has the most interesting career” contest. At least, I usually do. I have yet to meet any professional alligator wrestlers or anything.

Thanks for reading, I’m glad you guys enjoyed this. :)

@Bacioiu: Hehe…terrorist nanobots. I bet this page is going to get a lot more Google hits now.

@OrR: Jebus, that sucks! Wow, it’s sad to see that a big project like that could be derailed by something like that. If it’s not just my bank that’s stupid…maybe I should start keeping my money in a shoebox.

@GirlFlash: Haha, so it seems. Also, what the hell, another female indie developer? Could it be that I’m not so very alone after all? Consider yourself bookmark’d. :)

@Elmernite: Thanks muchly!

Banks, more than most buisnesses are easy to put money into, but are perplexed at the notion of it going somewhere else.

Another recent independent gaming project with banking troubles is the Pandora handheld console. Apparently their bank decided to refund all credit card preorders without much of a good reason. (They were probably scared because they got 4000*250€ in a matter of days…) Wouldn’t be that bad if it didn’t take them months to actually process the refunds… Add the financial crisis and the related $/£/€ movement and it’s a wonder they are not having any financial problems. Dreams of actually making any profits on the first batch of consoles are gone, though…
