People from the RealmCrafter forums might have already seen this, but for others,
What this thread is about is a documentary;
This series, "Dev'ing Life" will showcase what its like to be living as a indie game dev. Not just programming up the game and making its assets (those kind of series seem to be relatively boring), but also the ups and downs of being a dev in general. Additionally, it will show what its like being young in general, too.
Being 14years-old, my team members and I are making a game for practice, and, while highly unlikely, some commercial results.
We have a passion for creating things in the world around us, and game making is a good way to do that, since you can make a whole different world.
Hopefully this series will bring some more interest to the indie community so we need your help to make this popular.
It'll showcase the fields of 3D design, 2D design gameplay scripting, audio production, and of course, just the flat-out hardships of game developing. Plus, much more.
Obviously, this will grow into a WIP for the game my team's making.
It would be ideal if this series could reach out to people who want to be game devs and show them what its truly like. We want to show the world how it goes down.
So yes; comment on YouTube, subscribe, and tell your friends.

2) The Game Plan- This episode presents our look on things, and something that can be called a storyline, although we don't consider it one. It also showcases a few (very few) models we have.
