A few of us at syntaxbomb are working on games with a deadline of August 2008, with the aim of getting some of them released on portals. No prizes, we're kinda doing it to draw motivation from each other and see what happens.
Sounds like a great idea!Nothing firm yet but at the very least I would want to get two commercial games made, one for the summer and one for Christmas (not a seasonal game though, I'm not making any more of those). With any luck I would like to push that up to 3. Any more and I'd have to start being a producer so I could manage several projects at once as coding games takes too long...
Oh I ought to say that I'll get a platformer done for fun next year too ;-)
