Dear gamestudio community

We are two people seeking other partners for a massive game project we are planning to finish in two years time.
We dont want freelancers as we dont have the money to pay anyone now, but we want people who can work with us to the end

and share the profits. So we are looking for level designers, texture artists, sound coordinators, 3d modelers and
programmers.

Keep in mind that this is a 2008 release and must be good,
funds are already being saved up for going to E3 in 2008 to represent the project there.

So please send us samples of your "own" work.

Hello,

I am not being insulting but work two years for nothing? I guess this is what seperates the newbies from the professionals.

Good luck. I mean best of luck holding it all togther.

It may say newbie on the forum but we are 2 experienced developers

level designer and programmer, 6 years!!! just because we signed up to the forum recently doesn't make us newbies and the team isn't getting nothing
it is the profit we make out of the publishers we devide it into equal amounts

with our partners!!! and can result to having permanent jobs and not freelance
work and push down pricy levels down our throats!!!!!!!!!

lol. Maybe you are a expert but so are we and I already been down the road of getting money from the published deal.

It does not work a percentage of a time.

Unless you have a loan or a grant to back yourself up in a fiancial sense?

-Paul.

We can do this project on our own but then we will have to sacrifice some
of the levels/sounds, besides once you have a published game your on the right track especially if showcase it at a conference and you want to make a name for
yourself.

Personally, this offer does not entice me at all. There are several things missing that really draw away from this post.

What are your expected goals?
Do you have a completed Design Document?
If there is no financial incentive up front then what is there to really entice us to take interest in your project?
What kind of game will it be?
How many of each position are required?
What will each sub-position be responsible for(Level Designer - Terrains, AI Programmer, etc...)?
and most importantly:
What makes this post any different than 90% of the other posts that come through here every week?

Our goal is to make an excellent game (FPS Shooter) it's a horror/action
game that we want to compete with future professional games and push 3dgs into
the professional game market. We have a design document but we don't want to
give it all away unless it is a partner that wants to join our team. We need at least one person per position but more will be welcome. We want to save up for E3 so that our game gets publicity and we can make a name for ourselves and the partners will make more money this way because at E3 there are more professional publishers. Texture artist/s will only find or create certain textures for the respective theme, level designers will have to design 6 levels the other ones we will be able to do, sound artist sound and music, not so much music, modellers will be responsible for the 3d characters and programmers for
AI and Effects.

What seperates us from the rest is we are hardworking on our projects and try
to achieve more we just need the people to make it work. This isn't just for us this is also to prove that the indie game developer is good enough for the professional market

We are having some problems with our site but when it is up and running we will post the address so you can see the concept beta screenshots of the project or if you would like to see it now send us your email address and we will gladly send you copies of the pics.

My piece of advice to you: Create a small but impressive demo. Put your money where your mouth is and show us you really are an experienced developer. If you can do this I'm sure there will be plenty of interest from skilled amateurs, but don't expect professionals to work for free..

@All, why do you guys keep trying to convince these people? There's been a billion of these posts and every time again I see the same people telling them they won't succeed. How many times have you actually convinced them? If you are right (and I do think you are), then nobody will apply and they will see you are right sooner or later. If such a post comes up, tell them what's wrong with it and then leave it. If they don't want your advice, fine, it's their loss. Maybe a sticky would be usefull?
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your advice, We will make a demo soon and you're right skilled amateurs are fine, we just want it to be great if you know someone please
let them contact us
