Thanks, Randy, for sharing your thoughts, too!

As aspiring indie-developer myself, I always love to read about those that already have marketed their first games and can share their experiences.

I hope, your game will be a success! I saw, at Steam the reviews and images look very good!

Cool! I wish you luck on your career. What are you hoping to do in indie games? What field, what kind of games, what platforms, etc.?

Thanks!

To make it short: I am currently building a strategy online game as a browser-game (only a current browser and JavaScript is needed). I think, that currently most online games lack strategic/tactical depth and rely on almost all the same mechanics (city-building and build up the biggest army), with only small differences (topic, graphics and some minor mechanics are different, the basics are mostly the same).

I hope, that I can convince enough grognards that online-gaming can have depth.

Good luck! That's a crowded space, but seeing some innovation there would be fantastic.
