Welcome to Johnimation Studios. Thanks for stopping by.
Johnimation Studios is an indie game studio / portfolio. But since gaming involves weaving many forms of media together you might be more accurate in describing the studio as an interactive multimedia content creation center. Independently produced video games ranging in technique from simple 2d cell animations to 3d models and 3d animations.
I am currently only producing Windows based games. But in the future I intend to release games that are compatible with: Windows, Mac, Linux, ipad, iphone, as well as embedded web games.
One of my goals with the site is to provide people with links to freeware/OSS alternatives. That is why almost every program you find on my site under the Recommended Links section is available as a freeware/OSS download.

What are indie games?
Overview - (partial quote)
"There is no exact widely-accepted definition of what constitutes an 'indie game'. However, generally indie games share certain commonalities. Indie games are developed by individuals, small teams, or small independent companies. And, typically, indie games are smaller than mainstream titles. Indie game developers are not financially backed by publishers and usually have little to no budget available, thereby generally relying on Internet digital distribution. Being independent, indie developers do not have controlling interests or creative limitations and do not require publisher approval as mainstream game developers usually do. Design decisions are thus also not limited by the allocated budget. Furthermore, smaller team sizes increase individual involvement. Therefore indie games are known for innovation, creativity, and artistic experimentation."
