This is probably a long shot, but I want to create a game installer for free online indies (AGS games, unity games, maybe flash support for swf files if that's possible) - kind of like steam does with paid games. The program would basically be a gui that shows the user a bunch of free games, searchable, with screenshots and links and some info on the developer, and which should download and install the games in (hopefully) a single click.
I would add the games myself, and hopefully get a few others online to help me keep the database up to date. There's something like this out there already (tiggit) but development seems to have ground to a halt, and only the developer can add the games making the library pretty small.
I'm currently teaching myself a bit of .net and some C programming, but I'm a complete beginner, and would probably make a real mess with it. I know there are brilliant people out there who can make things like this and make them well so if someone could help create the framework I'd really appreciate it. It would hopefully be an awesome way for people to get into the thriving indie game scene more easily and discover a lot of hidden gems.
