[Gathering] Developers & Graphic Designers

[Blane]

Wanna design & develop? This is your chance!

 

Hey fellas!

 

Well, if you're wondering about that topic, then no worries. It's all about having fun and using our skills. So, developers and designers out there, I'm speakin' to you! I'm up to a great idea of making an online game. Well, it's gonna be an in-game browser! Yeah, don't get distracted or disappointed before you complete reading this thread.

 

A bit of info

 

Probably, most of you have seen or played some of the most popular games out there, like Travian, Ikariam, e-Republik, bitefight etc. Well NO! I'm not planning to do something similar as I find it at least boring and pointless to click and click and click some things in order to get better. Usually, these games target to your passion on their website. They want you to play more and more so they can eventually lead you buy something from them to be even better. That's not my point.

 

I have a concept in my mind and I think it's extremely powerful and extraordinary idea concerning our usual standards of in-browser games. Besides the fact of using a real-time application framework and not pure php forms, the whole game will offer animations and pure strategy. More like an RPG game, build with our own hands. Or maybe a combination of traditional MOBA and MMORPG's. It would be something unique and great.

 

Why I've chosen to be an in-browser game? Cause, at first, browsers offer access from anywhere and also because it's cross-platform. And of course, browsers NOW offer much more great stuff than they used to offer. Real-time features is one of them. Having every people connected and interact with them at real time. You know what that means? Endless possibilities I'd say. With nowadays technologies like node.js and ruby on rails you can take advantage of great new features of this real-time world and build almost anything you'd like.

 

More info about the game? Nop. I'm not just gonna share it cause, first of all it's not finished yet, and secondly I don't want opinions to spread. It would, eventually, be something unique. Something that hasn't been built since the day I'm posting this thread. What we have to compete? Regular, old, boring browser games. What's the most fun? WE are gonna build it.

 

The point of the thread!

 

Well, you guessed it right! I can't do it on my own. It's a lot work to do and simply I cannot handle it alone. I want graphic designers and developers to work with and build something unique. Hey hey! I know what you're thinking! "This is not the right place for this topic"! I know, but, what do I lose? I know there're some secret talents hidden in these forums and I want 'em to co-operate. In order to participate, you need to have passion for the work you do. Either if you're coding or designing, I want you to love what you're doing. It's important for the project. It needs to be crafted with our power and creative thoughts.

 

Why the heck should I work with you?

 

At the end of the day, that's the question I think, huh? Well, yeah, I thought about it before I continue writing this post (oh it's getting too long) I have to tell you I'm not a billionaire and I don't really dream to become one. I just love what I'm doing. And you should do the same, remember?

 

SO, the project will be designed and coded at a private repository which I will retain (and all of the participants will have access to, of course) and I'll pay the costs of the development procedure, regarding, hosting, domains and rest crap. Yep! Right! I won't really ask your money since I don't really intend to treat you like an employee or something.

 

Whoever joins the team, would have an equal share of the whole project. That means, if 4 people are on the team (including me and other 3 people), each of us would have 25% of the project earnings. Now, before we speak about earnings I should warn you. We're not going to make any monetization strategies before the game is out there and we're not gonna force users to pay in order to fill our pockets. We should do this whole project, because we love what we're doing. Believe me, if we have this in mind, everything else will come eventually. Have trust guys!

 

What should I know/do?

 

Ok, let's get this straight without further fussiness. We're looking for:

 

• Game directors/designers - Fellow gamers and smart people. A game is not something easy and fast. We need to think, think again and make something balanced and fun to play.
  
• Front end developers - These are the guys who know how to write proper HTML/CSS/Javascript and all the front-end goodness. They will need to co-operate best with graphic designers and back-end developers for the best outcome.
  
• Back end developers - The geeks. Guys who will boost the game, powering it with great back-end knowledge and optimizations. The usually retain the servers and the databases.
  
• Graphic designers - The creative minds! Graphic designers will help us eventually for building something appealing and great. They will provide us with great resources and images for the game and they should also have great communication skills for the front-end designers.
  

 

What's the technical knowledge you ask? For front-end guys, as I said earlier, you should be familiar with HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, Ajax and of course all that keeping web standards. As far as the server side of things, they should also be familiar with server-side languages like PHP, Ruby and they should have some knowledge about frameworks, like CodeIgniter or Ruby On Rails. For back-end guys, node.js and apache are some MUST's and also be familiar with server-side stuff (bandwidth allocation and much more). For graphic designers, you guessed it! Design great stuff! I don't care where (it could be Photoshop/Fireworks/Illustrator/GIMP/Paint) but the outcomes have to be nice and the image file optimization has to be a familiar term for you.

 

Well, that's all folks. Having questions? Don't be afraid to ask below. Spam replies won't be tolerated.

Thanks in advance for reading this topic (I know, tl;dr case).

 

With respect,

Yep, sure. The project won't freeze. I'm still looking. But since no one makes a complete application-form to participate in, it would bury down. Whatever, keep it open!

Can u give us more informations about this game;

[Blane]

Can u give us more informations about this game;

 

I wish I could. Game story should be placed around middle age and no, I'm not intending to make this game to look like having castles and knights. It's all about fantasy creatures, mostly inspired by the famous World Of Darkness of White Wolf (you know, vampires, werewolves, witches, mages and more) but all of that given through our own minds. I can't give you a clear game concept as 1st) it hasn't been completed yet and 2nd) I don't really want opinions to spread, since I want to make a game from total base. If in the future, we see something is bad or wrong, we could easily change it. It's our game.

 

I just need passion for this to happen!

Blane,do you rly think that mxc got such ppl?No,definetly not.

 

You are really old member,and you should knew that this community is full of kids(at least,85%),without any actuall knowledge,they can only download a pack(click2play) in order to become admin in their own homemade server.

 

They are not reading guides,and trust me mxc get a sh it load of them,they are not willing to practise alone and such things.They are making a shit load of topics every minute,because they are lazy to search/read the error.

 

If you want something gud,try to pm some old and skilled members which used to surf here some years ago.
