Request: I strongly believe a new board section should be made inside Non-Calc Gaming, Development and Technology Discussion that would be title Indie Projects, for two reasons.

1) When I introduce someone to the threads that I use for my PSM games which happens to be ROM hacking and Console Homebrew. While I fully understand what the "hacking" part of the title applies to as much as what it means. Not all other do. The title has actually been degrading on how people view my work. (for instance my school locked my account and banned access from Omnimaga because the title had the word hacking in it. This title as also pushed away many others who I have asked to view. I also understand that my work does not fit in that section of the title. (obviously).

2) The second part of the title refers to "Homebrew". While this topic may be the current best compromise for the lack of appropriate topic choice. I do not consider my work (games) homebrews, because homebrews refer more commonly on games or applications that target platforms that have proprietary hardware or hardware restrictions. While my work (games) on the other hand go straight through the platforms original creator in the fashion that allows for my work (games) to be official, legitimate, and sold. I therefore also believe my my games do not belong in this part of the title.

So wrapping this up, I have found that my work (games) does not fit in either of the two sections listed in the board topic's title, and that the title of the board topic reflects poorly upon the the work that I put in it. (unintentionally of course) That all said and done, I would like to request a new board section/topic to be made in Non-Calc Gaming, Development and Technology Discussion called Indie Projects. Thank you for your time!
