Before making topic, decide do you really need help. Be able to fill following:
- You have at least 3 times more time to spend than you originally planned (unless you are professional and know exactly how much time different aspects take)
- You have skills to lead people and will keep your cool.
- Project have low TUSC-rating, meaning that it is developable.
And be sure to understand following:
- First time posters take extra care of using as professional look as possible. The more posts you have, the more believable (most of the time) you are.
- Expect low quality from free works
- Your game will never be AAA and sell millions.
- If it's MMO, read this. Be aware that you won't be taken seriously without working prototype and you be able to pay for the work.
- Online games by amateurs fail 99% of the time.
