Testing the waters

As the world turns here at Enchanted Realms LLC I have decided to give a shot at support and training others Indies. Since that seems to by my current professional line o work(support, support support) of late and along the way with my companies/life goals (serving/teaching).
Heres what I would like to throw out there:
Live Programming Support/Training for Indies at a reasonable price (First Session is FREE)
Reasoning -
Progress - Indies need help in completing game projects (myself included)
Learning - TGE Programming can be sticky...have a programmer(s) always available
Loner mentality - Making a game alone is very tough....group up is priceless
Poor - Indies have a rep for not having much cash and cannot afford to hire out FT Consultants!
Solution -
Available online Live support or training(scheduled) - Programming (future Artist will be available also)
Quick learning - get answers to help with your project specifically as needed Live!
Group Session - get useful tips, see what others are doing and working on - possibly collaborate
Affordable - Shared support/training rates means low user costs.. yes together you can afford a nice consultant.. Pay per session or a reasonable monthly rate!
Anyways Support is first up, but also Live online TGE classes/workshops/bootcamps will be introduced. All join able remotely from anywhere..all reasonably priced. Ahh the joy of technology! Hey can't make a session..well we may even record them to DVD/ Downloadables.. nice!
All for the advancement of Indie Game Dev :)

Seems like a rip off of Torque School just with help on a needed problem and not teaching specific problems.

Weren't people suggesting a service like this a while back on the forums? Who cars if it's a ripoff if it's what they all ask for. Seems kinda cool

Support and future classes will be very specific. These are more short term sessions/trainings. All "live". Plus future specific Vids..

And no, it is not a "rip off" just because that School got a little competition. I mean, sheesh.. Competition is a good thing.

Rigo, I would like to discuss this further with you. Please send me an email.

Support is actually very different than what Torque School offers. There may be some overlap if Rigo starts to offer "courses," but the idea of education products isn't exactly brand new.Rigo, I would like to discuss this further with you. Please send me an email.

You might want to fix "Your an artist etc." to "You're an artist etc." ... I see this mistake on your webpage in several places, and it reduces the professionalism.
