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!

I'm being run over by all the awesome replies, I've been replying to requests for the last 40min and still have checked a comment on my profile or finish writing an email to some one. Or replied on the programming section. Wow what a bunch of eager people, yay!

Couldn't we give it all to charity?


Some people wouldn't be as happy, that's the problem.

I think we should invest in getting better equipment for the team.

I.E. Tablets, flash, etc...

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

If you were looking at the official AG characters thread, that was drawn by cenere. For a better look at my stuff, lookit this: http://ninjaslug.deviantart.com/#/d2quz3n

Yes, that's what I think is most important at the moment.

As for the art, it is perfect for games. Just saying it looks like meebo.com is going to end up the way of communication in this team so please try to act on that, i suggest.

Ok, communication needs to be resolved quick. So I've made a poll.

Isn't meebo a way of connecting different commication platforms together? I don't know if you can have a group conversation between different platforms while you are on meebo yourself, or just hold one conversation per platform. I don't really see whats wrong with meebo, if everyone else decides to use MSN, I would use meebo because the latest version of MSN doesn't work on my computer...

ok I want to make a new poll really sorry, as somebody said about Google Wave. After looking at it: perfect for our pusposes.

So I made another poll, sorry again, but you'll have to revote.

Here's the better version.

Woah! That's a nice tool.
I think we should use that, because it's made for collaboration
