It's a fantastic place to discover real, home-brewed indie titles, and the friendly community is always ready to help out with any queries from newcomers. TIGSource's competitions have also resulted in several games that have gone on to receive critical acclaim, such as 2D shooter Gang Garrison 2. For anyone that's ever had the urge to make a game in their bedroom, basement or shed, TIDSource is a great place to start.
