Widget Monkey Games seeking fun, cross platform TGB games

Greeting to Torque Game Builder users, forum friends and a great team of developers at GG who gave us all TGB. I am thrilled to announce that tonight (after some CSS headaches), that I have launched a new website called Widget Monkey Games.

http://www.widgetmonkeygames.com

I'm DaveyJJ, original founder of the popular website Widget Monkeys, where we've managed to create and serve up almost 450,000 of our popular OSX Dashboard widgets.

I have decided to set up Widget Monkey Games as: 1) a place to develop and sell my own games made with Unity (the first two being The Illusionist and SPQR); and, 2) as a place to distribute and sell games made by the fantastic indie game developers using Torque Game Builder who are part of the great community we have here.

I am thrilled to announce that Sector3 have agreed to be my first publishing partners and I'm looking forward to the updated version of Turret Wars that they will be releasing soon. I hope to have a few more partner developers on the site in the coming weeks and would encourage anyone developing games with TGB (or Unity) to drop me a line via the new site or here via PM.

I have a Partners page and have listed and a Showcase page that shows off some of the great stuff being produced using Unity by some of the best folks over on the Unity forums. I'd be thrilled to help distribute and promote some of the great cross-platform stuff being creating in TGB. If you want to be on either page, and especially if you want to show off your great TGB project, drop me a line.

I'm offering much better than industry standard rates/split between developers/publisher, and can help out with many aspects of marketing, development, sales, press etc.

Drop by http://www.widgetmonkeygames.com if you get a moment and if you want your game on the site, let me know!

Thanks everyone. David.

Hi again everyone,

We've now added the award-winning Chocolate Castle by New Zealand indie-game developer Lexaloffle, and Sheeplings by Swedish game developer Karjasoft to the Widget Monkey Games site and online store.

Got a great idea you're working on in Torque Game Builder? Want the exposure that the developers of the #1 ranked Dashboard widget on Apple's site have? Drop by the site or PM me to let us publish your great game ideas!

Thanks,

David

PS. I'll be buying a copy of TGB 1.5 when released for Mac!
