Hey there, forum.

I have a hypothesis. I have made an observation, and I believe I've come to a conclusion.

My scientific conclusion is that from the people here, most want to make money. With gamedesign. Or related products.

That's not news, of course. The three biggest groups, I'd reckon, have always been:

1) the dreamers
- who have their own project in mind and work on it, no matter how hopeless that pursuit turns out to be.
2) the money-makers
- people who want to use their acquired skills to make some money with it, and perhaps helping out projects they find interesting - not necessarily for free.
3) the lost children
- people who may or may not have worked with Acknex before, and who haven't really done anything in who knows how long that there is a large percentage of users who joined this forum after they stopped working on Acknex - usually not stopping them from commenting on their work. Hey, they earnt it, right!?

Recently, it seems that this forum shifts closer to 2.
Is that so? Am I making things up?


I'm not really judging here. Especially not the individual who decides on that - it's a perfectly sensible choice that totally makes sense (it's also a bit boring, to be honest. OH SNAP I JUDGED).

Where do you stand, and why?


A quick look in "Jobs whatever" shows that Coders are most willing to work/help out for free, whereas animators and model designers usually want money. Level designers are somewhere inbetween, and the rest doesn't seem to occur regular enough to warrant such an observation.

So, you modellers. Why's that, huh? We coders not good enough to work with for ya? You don't wanna play with the geeky kids, sitting all alone at the table at lunch time? You just want their money, not their friendship!?
In other words, I want people to help me out for free. frown


Jump directly to the poll.


Perhaps this post will get me points for originality at least.

I fall squarely in the number three range. The reason I haven't left this place already is because there's too much drama not to participate in. wink

Hm yes it seems as if there are not many people around here anymore that actually develop their game - except Harry Potter wink.
I guess I'm 95% 1) and 5% 2).

I am currently #1, however in the past I have been 2, but I have also just been 3 if anything interesting besides games were on this forum.

But alas a note to the original poster; why are YOU here except for being so judgemental(jk) and trying to get free models?

I'd say I'm a number 2. I seem to be getting somewhere with my game. I'm also much less helpful in the forums than I used to be, except where I feel someone is particularly neglected, or if the topic of the question is of particular interest to me.

It seems to me that a poll would be well-suited for this kind of question... except then one might be inclined to vote and not elaborate.

EDIT: Wait! 1. I mean, I aim to make money with my work, and I do (a little bit). But it's mainly my own game I'm working on. So 1... but it's not hopeless, and it's not my dream game -- just a warm-up. And it's supposed to make some money. So 2. 1 and 2. let's just go with that.

I feel like I don't understand the question properly frown

No, I'm not the only one who develops a game (as far as I can remember, also Superku is developing a game?! wink ).
But my project is probably the oldest game project here. A never ending story. grin

So I would say, I am 120% number 1 - a dreamer.
But I hope, I'm a 'realistic' dreamer who can finish the project once a day. And then I will change to number 2 and hope to become a rich man. grin

What I find great 1st of all is that it's only coders who have posted on this. grin

I've never been able to find a free artist and am now paying for one so see myself more in the #1 and will continue along this route until something is released (which is now finally back on track). After which I'll probably be moving to another engine which offers additional platforms.

I would love to see a collaboration of artists and programmers on this forum work together to get one project released but that'll never happen because that's not on your list of options tongue
