My name's Paul and I'm a game developer - I've been a hobbyist for ages but just recently decided I'd take the plunge and try this indie thing for a while.
My current project is called Paladin and it looks like this...

Roots in Defender, with a 360 degree twin-stick control scheme and an upgrade mechanic.
I'm currently trying to get it on Greenlight - if it looks like your sort of thing I'd love to hear from you:

If it's not and you just want to chat about game dev in XNA / Monogame / FNA, you can usually find me hanging out on Twitter over at https://twitter.com/PumpkinGames
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Paul
