| A community freeware game project. |
| I have had an idea; why don't we develop a freeware game (of course it will be hosted on a place with ads that we will be payed for, such as a free .tk domain with a host that has a great FTP service) with freeware tools, unless if it's a cheap tool you already have or something you have to do in real life that costs a little bit (such as scanning, because a printer costs money, but that shouldn't count). It may boost activity and it may even attract new members. Also, this won't be like Aeon. Oh dear that would be horrible. This project will be open sourced, free, and made by the entire community. Even if you can't code, then you can participate (artwork, storyline, ect.). And if you want to learn, then I shall make a directory of sites that you can learn from for free. And also, this could be great practice if you already know how to make a game, because you can just mess around in it. Do you guys think this would be a good idea? I mean, you can't say "well, I don't have enough time", because this project will take awhile. |
POLL: Who should be in charge?

Oh hell, I don't think I'll be able to join the project. Maybe in the end stages, if it's after I graduate. But not now. | ||||||||||

Guys, I can't do a Skype call, since everyone will hear me, and will inquire who the heck I am talking to, which is REALLY annoying, and so therefore I cannot use voice chat. Sorry guys. go drink some water | ||||||||||

'snipereborn' said: Lol, i guess I'm popular. So the first order of business is communication. Well need to setup a Skype call between everyone who's involved to get the call rolling. I'll be adding about everyones interests in the project and what kind of skills and experience everyone has so that i can make informed decisions. It would be awesome if everyone with experience had a very short portfolio i could look at. For programmers, that's just the source code for a program you wrote. Obviously, its not required, but it would be helpful for me. Edit: don't post that information here because it would just pollute the thread. Where do we post the portofolio (If need be for music)? Ohh, and my skype is "Jakob.Wik" Sorry for bad grammer and/or spelling, i am suffering from dyslexia. Isas brother, mostly here for helping with computers | ||||||||||

@wully You could pm it to me if you like or wait for the Skype call. Just to clarify, the point of the portfolio isn't to exclude people or anything a la hiring for a company. Its purely so i can get an idea of the teams capabilities and make choices from there. I wouldnt want to start a project that heavily relies on something that no one can do.

Ha. Ok, so about that skype call... So I can't do much of anything on mondays or tuesdays (until the semester ends, which is quite soon) so any other day after eh, 8 IG time or any time on the weekends. Everyone runs faster with a knife. | ||||||||||

Well, right now, most of us are in school until... May? June? I think we should have the call on a weekend unless if you want maybe one or two other people to show up. Maybe we should have it at a time that everyone's schedules are clear... Spoiler: go drink some water | ||||||||||
