   Profesional Spriter Looking for expert C++ coder,
  Well, I've been in countless development groups, most failed or quit. Witnessing everything that's gone wrong, I have realized what to do right. I'm now trying to make an Online 2D Game, specifics are still being planned.Along with me, the team has two very professional spriters, and a trainee spriter with talent. some of my work: http://xs940.xs.to/xs940/09250/dontrip3590.pngI'm looking to start an engine from scratch and have an alpha complete before summers end, so I need someone with much free time, and a good work ethic :) much like me. For Programming Language, I favor Visual C++, but anything that can open an online network is fine, really.Graphics API - Direct X will do.If you would like to contact me;My MSN is BBQPollo@live.comMy AIM is gohans2cool P.S. I am not looking to join any other games, please don't add me asking to work for your project.Sincerely, Z.[Edited by - Zettman on June 22, 2009 6:51:12 PM]
  Adhere to the template mate, and you say you've witnessed what has gone wrong in a team and brought it down yet you're attempting quite a complicated thing. Ou want to make an online 2d game using a custom engine, in my opinion you will either need to use a pre-existing one or get more then one programmer, I wish you the best   ;  Yes, we are indeed going to need a Programmer who knows about Networking. As for pre-made engines, that's plan B. Thank you for the compliment and the luck ^^; we'll need it.   ;  Would you be interested in merging with a team that has similar goals (2D online game using custom engine with goal for alpha by the end of the summer)?There are three of us working on the project (artist/designer/webmaster, programmer/designer/artist, and a game designer/lore/balance).We've been working since early February, and are working on transferring the first build from my computer to our website now.I'm not on my computer right now, so I don't have the links to any other information, but I can provide screenshots/details if you are interested.My contact info:MSN: maximus_705@hotmail.comAIM: mortusmaximus705   ;  need some details dude. I'm free this summer and looking to get something done but I need some details..-What programming language?-What graphics API?I'll add you on msn.I'm not really an 'expert' coder though   ;  Alright, I updated my post to make it clear what I'm looking for, and what I'm not. - Seriously guys, I'm not looking to join any other game, please don't add me for that.Also my game has already somewhat began process, the Base animations are being worked on.   ;  Okay, so you're asking for someone to write you an engine, from scratch, and you've posted virtually no details about the game?  What's the story?  What's it called?  Are there levels?  How big are the maps?  Is it a strict tiling engine, or something more flexible?Shadows? Dyanmic or static?Lighting? Dynamic or simple?Object replication goals?Design documents?Anything?I rarely post in help wanted threads, and since you didn't bother using the template, you also neglected to state what sort of feedback you want.  So here's mine:Delete this and start over. Ditch the attitude.  I have empathy in that you've clearly had bad experiences with dev teams in the past, but this post does little for you.  No programmer is going to want to slave an engine for you to your specifications when it's clear you don't have any interest in the technical aspect of game design.If you do, you failed to present it in this post.  Just another reason to edit and start over, or delete and start over.
