Thought about using 'From Korea, with Indie', but decided to use 'Pig-Min (English)'.

Well. I always to make English branch for PIg-Min, but not sure about that. So I didn't do that in the past.

From several months ago, I'd like to make English branch of Pig-Min, because I'd like to let Korean Indie Games go abroad. Partly as business, partly as my own hope.

In fact, I thought about using entirely different name.
'From Korea, with Indie' was that new title.
In fact, I even registered Wordpress with that name.

Within last week, I found 2 important things.

1. Why Wordpress, when I can use Textcube so well?

I've used Textcube & Tattertools(early ver. of Tc) around 5 years, and very familiar with that. Of course, Wordpress might be another cool blog tool, but why must I learn another tool?

That idea was given by Kkonal, who's doing PR for Enswers. That site is made by Textcube w/ some design, not hard coding. Well. Even company homepage could be made by Textcube, so why not use Textcube for Pig-Min English?

2. Pig-Min is well-known already. Why give it up?

Pig-Min is not so famous as Indiegames.com/blog, jay is games, tigsource. However it's known to someone already. So... I didn't see any reason to start another brand. I'd continue to use my old own Pig-Min name, just make it English.

All of us are not sure about the future.
However I hope Pig-Min (English) will be another good one.
For all of you, and mrkwang myself. :)
