Hi, my name's manny6574 and probably most of you who visit this forum would have heard about me. I'm a programmer and developer. I'm a very keen person, when it comes to programming, I enjoy more than most people would. Because of that I know or am learning many languages. I know ActionScript 3.0, XHTML, HTML, CSS, learning PHP&MySQL though at a quick pace. I'm also learning C and C++ but I paused that to work with AS3(ActionScript) and Flash.



I simply want to make games, but there's nothing that keeps me concentrated on it, even though I have quite a set of ideas. I want to gather a team. The team should be made of not only programmers but artists as well, but all have to be nice people to co-operate with. Here, I will ask the artists/animators.

I think that all you need is to be a nice co-operative person and a basic animator that can animate basic characters, no need for full body. Artists need to be able to draw good-looking art but nothing too complex, like in Crush the castle 2(backgrounds).



The method of communication in our team can be discussed some options are: email, msn or other messaging system. This aspect is to be discussed with anyone who wishes to join.

As for the money part, all money shares will be discussed as the case comes up. I, myself will probably not want much, if any at all. Remember, this is not hire, and we are not paid regularly, just a share of the final profit, agreed on every one in the project.

Pretty much our team to be, is a sort of free-for-all team, and everyone can have their say any time!

Also, you do not need to have Photoshop, there are plenty of free image editors out there, like GIMP.

So why not join?

Contact me by:

1. Email: manny6574@hotmail.co.uk or
2. Comments on my profile or
3. Replying to this thread and saying you want to join!

I will be happy to hear from anyone!

Lol, I can help you with programming. Later. Not now. Give me about a week and I can help you.

This is kinda interesting. I'll see what I can do later in time, if you still need anyone at that point.

Mods delete the above post.

Of course you can be in the team!

What contact form do you suggest, PrideRage who posted in this thread, for coders, he proposed email.

A team of three already! Yay!!

FFFFF-YES.

I will be happy to volunteer!
If you could take a look at my older stuff here, I'm great at character sketches, storylines (that are both interesting and compelling), and Mechs.
I may not be able to animate (or at least not very well), but I can still get a sketch of somethign to you any time you would like!
I also have a mic, and would be happy to do some voice acting.

I will join depending on what type of game you want. I need to know what style you're aiming for and stuff.

Well I can help with some of the art stuff and maybe some programming.

One suggestion we need to all have the same type of chat/communication and I know me and Kacboy have AIM B).

Forgetting about someone?

Of course you can be in the team!


Note that it'll mostly be for learning purposes for me. Consider me an intern of sorts.

I too have AIM,

perhaps we could use this wonderful device called Meebo? It combines AIM and MSN and other common messengers.

It would be a good source of communication.

Again, meesa has a mic, I can actually send you a few of the voices...

I guess you don't need a pencil artist *lean in, smiling gleefully*
If yes, I may be your man, depending on what you want me to draw. If you want character concept art, I'd be glad to help. If you want backgroung concept art...Well I can try. I don't know if you can make something out of pencil drawing as a programmer, and if I'm out of place, I'm sorry ^^.

That might be a little iffy. If this project ever came to be as a successful game development group, wouldn't we all want an equal share?

Or have it all dedicated to some where.

Hm, money would be an issue . . . .

A big part of it is to give people a chance to learn code, have read the post in the programming section?

I would probably give up my share in the first few games, the success of the team would would be enough for me.

But yeah, we'll decide about that on every project.

Yeah, I read it entirely after I made that post. I saw "Looking for team to make game" and was like, what the heck.

Give it to charity then.

Wait a minute. Couldn't we give it all to charity?

You... are not out of place, you're in place. Pencil sketches can easily be converted to digitl images. And I can see for some of your stuff you're good.

Triple post nooo! I have to reply to everyone though..

kacboy:

At the moment, what I'm thinking for one game is simple graphics. Maybe something like platforms and guns or creatures and robots?

But for now you're in, cos I saw some of your art some time ago, so you must be better now and the one I saw was already good enough.

Great, I saw lots of your art and I think you'd be good at backgrounds hmm?

As for the programming, of course, cos I'm getting more artist replys, but then I should consider the low views on the coding forum.

OK, you're in voice acting is good, also I saw your character art, great for cutscenes for example.
