IMO

But your opinion is uninformed and useless, so why would anyone care?

I mean, if someone wanted the opinion of someone who thinks Gordon Brown is an American politician, they could just mosey on down to the local loser bar and listen to the informed opinion of other Glenn Beck fans such as yourself.

That hurts my feelings Rog. I've never watched his show, read his book, nor do I know anything about his political standing.

It's yours. That's all you need to know.

Other neckbeards.

Neckbeards don't have parties.  They have "mutual food-stained shirt appreciation events".

Your right roger, your allways right! we're never right and any thought that conflicts with your own has to be quashed. I'm sorry I ever found Discord on the internet...

Wait... I think I see the problem here. You were expecting Discordia to be harmonious.

The problem is that you are an idiot.

FRENCH TERRORISM ITT

I'd like to nominate this thread for making us READ THIS SHIT.



I know more than I ever wanted to about the stupidity of humans now.

I can offer art skillz. I have Maya, and Photoshop, and am interesting in thing I can put on a resume. Haven't done any low-poly work yet, but I have lots of resources and people @ school I can tap for tutorials, etc, etc.

This would be extremely lowpoly, like early days of 3D, because it's for the damn iPhone. Of course, my other idea is highpoly but then just save the animations as sprites and use those, and that might be the better way to go about everything in the end anyway.

Are you good at animation? I have another 3D artist offering their skills but they said they aren't very good at animation. I could have them do props and you do active pieces (characters, fauna, etc), if you can animate, and that'd work perfectly.

As for bidding, Nigel, the zero-dollar budget makes that a bit hard. I guess I'll be building up assets for the engine while I wait to have enough money to grab a programmer the paid-up-front way.

Concept.

By "Concept", do you mean the storyline, etc?  Or just the general idea?

Nigel is only half-right to begin with. Game designers tend to be more like film directors -- they make the general idea then sit there and make sure everything fits together as it's being made. Generally they're the makers of the gameplay decisions, the writers of the storyline and the people who decide the art direction as well.

In my case I do all that, and then I also do play-testing (of the boring sit here-and-try-to-break-the-game sort as well as the "tweak this to make it more fun" variety), interface design and TRYING to learn the meaty-bits of the process from what the others are doing so I can do them myself next time.

It's a bit on the lazy side, I'll admit, but it's a necessity unless you want a gigantic turd. Since the designer makes sure things fit together, they keep two-three seperate artists from making completely different things and make sure the coder knows he's coding an FPS, not a turn based strategy game.

I've been trying to remember the name of Kalmah for AGES! Thanks for finally reminding me.

The hiring people is what this thread's for, and I can't seem to find anywhere to advertise that gets me people worth a damn

1. Find a video game production company.
2. Pitch your design.
3. Profit.

-toa,
home-brew as in beer

Profit, and lose creative control over it because I have to satisfy the investors? You don't have a single decrepit braincell in your godforsaken skull, do you? If I wanted to make money making games I'd be working for Epic Games. But I want to have FUN making games I would want to play, so you can eat shit and die.

-- null & void
volatile as in sniper rifle

EDIT:

Sorry about the reaction. I've just heard that exact same suggestion at least 20 times in just the past month, so it's become a split-second gut reaction to scream incoherently at anyone suggesting it. I could go in depth about what an awful idea it is, but I'd rather not bother because it's an entire thread's worth of discussion.

Either way, sorry. That is all.

I'm a game designer, as some of you no doubt know. And my first game's priorities have changed multiple times. I finally brought the expectations of my ally in design and I to a somewhat reasonable level however, and we want to do an iPhone game first.

Problem is that we lack everything we need. We're just designers.

We badly need a coder (ObjC knowledge required -- blame Apple) and an artist (either versed in extremely low-poly 3D or detailed 2D spritework) as well as a couple musicians -- preferably a celtic violinist/fiddler and a breakbeat/DnB producer. No doubt this is going to get a lot of "what do I get out of it", to which I will answer: your name in the credits and a large percentage (probably like 10%-25% per person, depending on the number of people involved) of the money that we get from sales. We're working literally on a zero-dollar budget, so we have nothing to offer until we make our first sale. Sorry.

Interested parties may contact me via PM. Thanks!

The Protomen and their best song. It's so fucking 80s.

Oh, and I should mention every song The Protomen write is about MEGAMAN. No, really. And they somehow turn Megaman from a lame kiddie story to something deep and inspired.

Some of you will be wondering how it could get cooler. I'll tell you how: they have a live choir. Really.

Roommate used my computer today to load songs onto her phone since I have PC and she has a Mac. I DID say she could use it, I just assumed I would be able to supervise her in the process.

...I was at work when she did this. I wasn't home, and she touched my fucking computer.

THIS IS FUCKING WAR. AFTER HERBERT NOBODY NOBODY NOBODY TOUCHES MY COMPUTER WITHOUT ME STANDING OVER YOUR SHOULDER.

I know exactly what I would do at about midnight if that happened to me: I would bludgeon that stupid motherfucker to death with my keyboard while they were busy sleeping.

now don't forget to make two copies and send them to friends - though you might be lucky to still have two friends if you send them this stuff . . .

DID THAT GUY SERIOUSLY REFER TO THE FORCE

LIKE, "USE THE FORCE LUKE"

brain died.

THIS IS WHY I NEVER CLICK ON LINKS TO CRAZIES AND THEIR DOGMA 

I don't fuck with politics. To me it's all retarded. So's everything else, to be fair, but considering I have no real choice in political matters and even if I did, humans have an innate ability to ruin everything that is good... not worth it.

I guess belief-wise....

if there was a version of libertarianism that didn't venerate the free market as the one true expression of the human soul, I might be able to get behind that.

Bingo

This.
