Hah, I vote brown over me.

Life's been freakishly busy lately... Too much for me to Program AND do art. =X

I've only been allocated about 45 minutes of computer per day for quite a while.

Hey, I'm gonna give my writting slot up to crabs. He's a way better writter than I am. :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:


Can i be the tag along?

ill be sorta... the director or something :D

I'll give you my team - wanna be slot :lol:

Just to play Devil's advocate (and hence, estimate your chances for success), I thought I'd come along and ask a little bit of your current team's skills. Hence the following questions:


To all teams:
- What type of game do you intend to make? Will it be 3D? 2D?
- What prior work have you done related to the field you signed up for?
- How much time, do you as an individual, have on your hands to work on this task?

Writers/Designers/Artists:
- Have you taken any schooling on the concept of thinking up worlds, characters, etc? Can you visualize and form characters/worlds/etc in to your respective work?
- How much experience do you have in this field?

Music:
- How much experience do you have in this field?
- What kinds of music do you feel you make the best?
- Do you feel confident that you can make different compositions for the varying situations that may present themselves in a video game?
- Is there anyone able to work on sound effects?

Site/Web:
- Have you ever built a website before? If so, can you give the address?
- Do you feel you can create a page with a graphical theme that matches the game?
- Do you have any experience in advertising your site to the public?

Programmers:
- What programming language do you intend to use?
- What kind of experience do you have with the language?
- Did you take any classes on game design?
- Have you ever made your own game?
- How comfortable do you feel implementing physics in to an advanced video game world?
- How comfortable are you with making a 2D game and/or application?
- How comfortable are you with making a 3D game and/or application?

Mythology:
- No questions...

Obviously, for some of you, I am fully aware of your abilities. Others... not so much. Thus I am asking. I'm not trying to be the "bad guy", but some predictions should be made on just what your members are capable of before you begin anything. Get my drift? ;)

...Hopefully this will be more... helpful than annoying. :huh:

I wasn't looking to get the best, just the right ones.

you guys need a director.... Im a gamer, with heaps of free time on my hands, and a LOT of games experience. Id be happy to tell you what needs to be fixed and changed etc.

I'm fairly certain that Montex is the director.

/Galidan

psst. Shouldnt Crab be in on the writing?

I must agree with this. I'm hardly compairable to crabs. He must have my slot.

Alright. Then do we kick wolf out and throw crabbie in?

Yes. I resign from that job. Crabs, your hired. :lol:

yay! Thanks Wolfpack

Hmmmm... I see. I'm not trying to be rude or anything; if I've been coming across that way, I apologize. The problem is, if you don't have things strongly organized and well thought-out, you may not succeed... or at the very least; you may have a lot of problems. Thinking before action is always a must, in any kind of situation. That is what I am trying to get across to you guys.

I've been part of many team projects in regards to my field. While it may not seem related at first; there is one thing in common, that there is a team working on it. A team can be a complicated thing to deal with. For one, a loosely-based team will have problems coordinating together for the finished product. In your case, this would be the game. If a team has members who cannot perform an essential task for the group, that can also be disastrous. What you need is to organize the groups a bit better. For one, there should be a "Head Project Manager" who specifies what the job is, and delegates the specific tasks to "lower Managers" (for each specific group). The lower Managers would then discuss with their corresponding team what their task is, and then work with them so as to complete the task so that it fits the specifications required by the Head Project Manager. Now obviously, some tasks need completion sooner than others. These cases likely being the work of the artists, designers, and writers. While waiting, each group that is inactive should be thinking up a "battle plan", of sorts, or in other words... the method they plan to use to fulfill their future task. In the programmer's case, this would be thinking up an algorithm. In this manner, time is used efficiently, and everyone will be prepared for the job that they must do.


Of course, this is just my opinion on the subject. I can, at the very least, say that my team projects that worked in this (or a similar) manner have typically done better than those that have not. In other words, I'm presenting a bit of my knowedge on the subject to you. Whether you want to use it or not is completely your choice.

So your saying, in a way use a pyramid. Gm tells the story department (Assuming im the head?) and i Pass it down, and discuss it with Crab and err, whoever else it is thats on our team. everyone else does the same with thier cell, then it goes back up to the lower mangers, then we dumb it all on gm and wolf.

Yes, galidan, you are right, i am the director. and apoc, thanks, that was what i was planning on doing. I meet mainly with the leads/heads most of the time, but will meet with the whole team occasionaly. But with that quote, I actually got that off or Miracle. Miracle, for those of you who don't know, tells the true story of Herb Brooks (Russell), the player-turned-coach who led the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team to victory over the seemingly invincible Russian squad. They brought in the real team, footage from videos shot, and found not actors, but hockey players who could play. The coach, Herb Brooks, placed alot of input on the story and everything, but sadly died durring the filming and never saw the finished product. Anyways, in the movie, the two coaches were talking while the triouts are going on and alot of people are cut durring the first day/few days. but heres what they said...

and you know what, hes right, you might have the best on a team, but have a bad team. But if you have the right ones you could do better. I experimented with that on NHL 06 befor seeing the movie and i made my own players, but when i paired the best ones togeather in there respected positions they had worse chemestry then some that were not so good. The team had a bad record through out the preolimpic season, but won every round at the olimpics. Miracle, i think so. The way the olimpic team is formed now has been changed because of what happened then and I am looking to change how free-lance-free-games are made.

Oh yea, just so the other one isnt too long, heres another quote, arround the same time...

You guys should watch this movie, and Rounders, and ill give you another one that I thought was good.
