   Looking for a team to create a 2d mmorpg game.
  Team name:Will be set when there is a team.Project name: will come later.Brief description:I once loved a mmorpg game called Tibia but with the time they destroyd it and kept on updating the game with stupid updates and destroyd it all and many people stoped playing the real game and moved over to privat servers which are based on the old system and some are based on the new. After having a private server my self i saw that it isnt hard to get players.My idea is to make a game based on the old tibia game which is an 2D mmorpg game (without sounds), some people love it for the rpg and others love to go in war and pvp, making quests etc..Im looking for a team who can help me and make my dream come true.Key features:A game based on old tibia, the bigg diffrent here is that we will listen to the people playing the game!.Target aim:Free but if this go as good as i hope it will then have "premium" areas and maybe some other things.Technology:Since im not a programer etc~ ill let you pick the best suitable technology for this project.Talent needed:Looking for people who can something about this area and got some free time.I, myself have no experience with programing games etc, i know only the basic in how to edit a private tibia server(which isnt much of a experience i guess).Team structure:There is no structure, as there is no team yet.Website:I dont got any at the moment since i dont know if anyone want to be a part of this and make this project possible.Contacts:kallesespresso@hotmail.sePrevious Work by Team:None.Additional Info:Not Applicable, at the moment. Will add as necessary.Feedback:GRATEFULLY ACCEPTING ANY FEEDBACK, EVEN NEGATIVE, SO LONG AS IT'S CONSTRUCTIVEsorry for my not that perfect english   
  I made a post earlier, and I'd say it applies well here. You can read the post here.Basically, what can you offer? How can you contribute to the project? Do you have any knowledge in game development whatsoever? Are you aware of the scope of an MMO project?If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. =)   ;Quote:Original post by MetallonI made a post earlier, and I'd say it applies well here.

If you want them to help you rather than those other projects you need to show what your project has to offer.If I might make a suggestion, I'd recommend you put aside looking for team-mates for now and spend some time learning a skill useful in the production of a game - programming or art for example.  You should also try to produce a detailed document listing the features you want your game to have, and a plan for how it needs to be developed.  Once you've done these things you may have more luck finding help.Good luck!

I wish I had been more active with this when I first got the idea some 1-2 years ago, where I was all over the place and didn't know what to go with. Sound design? Programming? Concept art? 2D and/or 3D design? I was so all over the place and so unfocused - coupled with a very chaotic personal life - that I basically wasted 2 years where I could've learned a skill.Now I've shoved that slack off the cliff and decided to pick up programming. I had no idea what to start with so I just went with C++ because I figured that'd be as good as any (no I'm not very intimidated by its size, complexity or whatnot). Instead of just thinking "Do I go with C++, Python, Ruby, Java, Flash, or something else?" I just went with the console industry standard as that's where I want to go. So just pick up a skill - preferably one you think is the least boring - and stick with it! ;)   ;Quote:Why do you expect people to help with your project if you're not going to be able to help out until after they've created it for you?because its a good game idea which i know people would be intressted in playing and that would give the game creators some cash for there time they used..to be honest there is alrdy many source codes out there which would make the job easier (i think, im not sure because im not a programer) so you dont have to start it from scratch..Quote:People with the skills to create a project of the type you're describing probably have their own ideas, as well as plenty of other people they could potentially choose to help.  If you want them to help you rather than those other projects you need to show what your project has to offer.as i said there is many, many retired game players who playd the original game who quited because the updates destroyd the game and i see those as potiental game players of this game which would generate a nice amount of cashQuote:If I might make a suggestion, I'd recommend you put aside looking for team-mates for now and spend some time learning a skill useful in the production of a game - programming or art for example.

[smile]I will in some months start taking programing classes but i was hoping to start a project like this eariler because it would most likely take me some years to even come close to the skills i need (i guess).anyhow thanks for your answer! :)
