   Looking for existing Team/Company
  Hi everyoneI realise I am not using the template but that is because it doesn't really apply to my post. I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong section. There is a good chance that you get hundrets of these kind of posts but I thought I would give it a go anyway. I am basically looking for an existing team of developers or a games company to take on my game idea. I have in depth documents about the idea, game play and how everything should function. I don't want to give any details here because I genuinly believe it could be very successful and profitable.I would be grateful for any feedback / help so please either reply or contact me if you either have any information or would like to discuss my idea.If it helps, I am based in the UK but am of german nationality so can communicate in german or english.Kind Regards,Marco   
  I don't know if you are going to get what you're looking for.  Most teams aren't just sitting around waiting for an idea, they are working on their own ideas.You can send me your game docs and I'll take a look at them, but I don't think that my team is ready to take on another project yet.  I will do my best to give some constructive criticism though.As a side note, if your game docs include 'MMO' or 'Online' anywhere in them I would go back and reconsider your design.  Currently indie game developers do not normally have the finicial backing necessary to create an online game.   ;  Thanks for your quick response. I wasn't expecting any miracles from ym post. I am completely new to this (on a serious basis anyway) and am really just looking for some guidance and help.I had a feeling that it would be quite difficult to get anywhere just with a game idea. What would be the best route for me to take? Should I try and get some smaller game ideas developed first and after some success with my ideas contact larger companies for my main idea?To be honest if I didn't think that this could be a real winner I wouldn't have bothered trying to get involved in the games indstry as I imagine it is very competetive and "over-crowded". However I am a serious gamer and have been playing games for 15-20 years and also being a programmer (only application programming), but still have some idea if something is achievable, I do think it is a viable game project with huge potential.Regards,Marco   ;  www.sloperama.com.  I suggest asking this to be moved to the Buisness forum, there are people there that can help move you along the right path (and shatter your dreams).   ;  Hey Rizzo,Please check this topic and drop a post on our forums.Thank you,VBmaster   ;  Try developing a small demo using a middleware engine. Something tangible will be taken more seriously than an idea that you won't even share with us. I bet all developers have ideas for games they want to make (I know I do). You need somthing that will convince people that your idea is better than theirs.Good Luck   ;  Thanks everyone for the replies.I will certainly do some reading on Sloperama, that looks like the kind of resource I was initially looking for to get some idea of what is involved. Thanks for the link!Also thanks VB Master, I will check out your site and post on the forum.And last but not least thanks Simian man. I like the idea of developing some aspects of the game in basic demos to show the potential of my ideas, however I am not sure how achevable that is for someone with no games programming experience. Also this is not a FPS or similar where "Game Maker" software is readily available. Most certainly I will try do create some visuals as my graphic design skills are reasonable. I'm sorry if I am too paranoid about sharing my idea but as I am all new to this I don't want someone to just steal my idea.Thanks again everyone. I will do some reading up on the info posted so far and post back if I get stuck. Of course I still welcome any feedback/suggestions that have not yet been covered.Regards,Marco   ;  There is a saying in the industry that ideas are worth nothing.  Excuting the ideas are worth everything (or something like that:))   ;  well its more of the intire idear behind the story for a game or options it offers for gameplayespecially for smaller concole games like the DS the main key is the gameplayyou should maby contact some company's with your idear its not mutch and probally won't work but you could give it a try.www.Team.RedCellGaming.com   ;  Thanks for the replies. I have decided that it sounds like the best route to take it so develop some of the ideas into a demo or less complicated game and then either take the idea to some game studios/publishers or put a team together to help. Either way I quite like the idea of learning new programming languages and getting more involved in games programming, so that's what I am gonna do ;)Cheers!Marco
