I need some suggestions please for forums where people discuss indie game development of turn based strategy games.
I have gone so far as to write an engine that works for a squad of people fighting zombies (meh) but it is difficult to stay focused on this without people to test this stuff out. It is not a RL.
I tried the Blitz Basic community as that is what I am using to code the game, but the thread sank without trace. I tried the Great Games Experiment and again, very little interest and no feedback.
So, I figured the people who hang out here must know of similar sites where I can get some reasonable interest?
Of course, the game so far could be complete rubbish, I accept that. But until someone actually has a go at it and tells me what's wrong, I don't know what bits to change.
I have 12 years of professional database development experience, I just want to do something different in my free time.

Is there a homepage or something?

Good point, I was using the Great Games Experiment as each game got it's own page as such and was an easy way to get someone else to host some info about it. I suffered much disillusionment though and removed the game. What I should do is find a free site and put something together, a few screenshots, version list and download for the demo etc. I think it's what I should work on next.

If you need something better, there's always some place to be found on chaosforge's server :)

Its kinda obvious, but...gamedev.net ?

I do visit GameDev.Net but I had never really considered they would have the time for a non-profit project like mine.
Now you have got me thinking Karry and that is the sort of developer analysis I could use to give me the confidence to finish. Thank you.

Maybe i've read some wrong threads there, or met with wrong people, or something, but i had the distinct impression that thats what they thrive upon, non-profit projects...
Nah, maybe its just me, forget it.
