As you guys know, I recently made my own Ninja Turtle (TMNT Forever) website and I'm highly considering doing another tech project. I want to create my own puzzle game either on the iPhone/Android or online where I can hopefully make money as an indie developer. I'm not real good with modern graphic animation design. I feel I can make classic SNES, Sega Genesis style animation instead.

This is what I want to ask: are there any modern games that people still play today that have classic style graphics and gameplay besides Shredder's Revenge, which looks like it's from the SNES or Genesis era? I figure since I'm not good at modern state-of-the-art animation, but I can with the classic old school type, would anyone today, young or old, want to play a phone game with old style graphics?

I figure since I'm having a tough time landing a regular job, I figure I make my own work, making app products, or draw it out and have someone on Up Work program it for a good enough price.

You don't want to finish the first one first?

Does it really qualify as a website though or is it a place of uploaded Jpegs? Because Apps are much more complex items.

It's as finished as I can. I emailed Webador to ask them how to put up forum pages and they said that they don't have that feature, but she understood the need for it.

Uh, yeah it's a website. It has pages, links, text, video/audio links from YouTube, buttons, and yes JPEG images.

As far as the app goes; I may just draw the puzzle game images and have a programmer from Up Work activate it. I saw a video on how to do that:

Oh okay cool. I was just checking but you've nicely alleviated my concern!
