   CGEmpire - independent game development site
  Hello everybody,CGEmpire is a new community that has been set up by several industry veterans to help those who wish to get into the game industry, and to support independent game development.In a world where game development technology and production costs have all but muscled out the amateur community, we aim to bring back the days when someone could sit in their bedroom and make a game. By offering free and dedicated support from our Resident Experts in Art, Code, Music & Design, as well as the support from other members of the community. We hope to provide amateurs and professionals alike with a relaxed and approachable forum, where encouragement and constructive critisism are offered. Those who may feel giants such as CGTalk and other sites intimidating to post on will hopefully find CGEmpire a welcoming place to discuss all facets of game development, and recieve advice from industry veterans.We provide various in-house developed 3DS Max plug-ins, such as the infamous Blubber script, completely free for download for registered members. We will also provide textures and models completely royalty free that members can download and use as they wish.We also have plans in the future to offer:* Hosting and advertising for independent games projects. * Offer e-mail addresses and web-space to independent developers.* Offer critiques of art portfolios.* Offer completely free games developed in-house.All proceeds from advertising will be used to fund development of free resources for the community.However, CGEmpire is very much in its infancy, and we need veterans and newbies alike to build this kind of community. Please take the time to register and help us make CGEmpire a great resource, and to try and bring back the much missed bedroom coding era where anybody could make their mark.A link to the site can be found here:http://www.CGEmpire.comThanks all!chris @ cgempire.com
