[IGDA_indies] what are people actually focused on?

[C Ratchet]

I'm currently focused on open source game and game tool development. 
I've actually designed a programming language and I'm administrating 
the implementation development ( http://goallang.tk )

Also currently working on learning Python, and using it in many of my 
projects. I've also worked with BASIC and Clickteam tools.

My goal is to make tools so that all can easily create games and easily 
commercialize them if they wish to.
