team up! it's adventure game creating time!

[FruitTree]

hey all,

it's shitty weather over here so I thought:"hey! perfect weather for making a game"
thing is I had this great idea when I was on the loo (I always have great ideas on the loo) but I allready know that my limited scripting experiences could never craft a game like the one I had in mind.
and that's the way it usually goes... I think up a game, a story, all the art, and then I'm stuck.
next time I went to the loo again I had this other great idea!
to start a production team, not just for my game, but just to make quality games, they can be any size or genre let's just make em!
everybody doing his/her part, I can do writing and arts and stuff.

so what I'm saying is let's team up, and start creating quality games of any size, genre or graphic type!

I'm looking for enthousiastic people (scripters artists writers muscisians mascottes) all are welcome!

let's see if we can actually create some fun and stylish games to play/make!

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Hmmm, this is a novel one - instead of a person posting asking for help on his game, or gathering a team for one game, you propose creating a company-like team to make several games. Doesn't sound bad, actually.

I'll go to the bathroom think it over.

[auhsor]

Heh, sounds like a good idea. Maybe a little too soon after the AGS Team Challenge. It seems you havn't been here for a while and may have missed that.
I understand that it is a little different as it isn't like a competition. But now that I think about it it seems like a cool idea. Pity that I don't really have time to participate right now.

[FruitTree]

nah I haven't missed the team challange (in fact I particepated (bet I wrote that wrong ) in the first one...
if you don;t have enough time, I suggest that we'll use you to do a small part in a game, thats the great thing there's no pressure only fun!

still in the end I'm hoping to have a standard team of people, who'll get used to making games together, that way progress and meeting will go much faster

---EDIT---

completely forgot, got any questions? wanna join me in my team-quest? wanna marry me? e-mail me at: fruittree86@hotmail.com

Hmm, sounds like an interesting idea. I can offer myself up for all kinds of storywriting and design, and for scripting. I can do backgrounds to a certain extent, but only as a last resort, I'm sure you can do better art .
I'm a bit strained in time what with starting possibly the hardest year at school, but i would like to participate, if only for a small part. Sign me up I would still make my own games with my "company", but this could be like an organisation or guild where people form teams. If there is an artist who does a certain style that fits a game more than another artist's style, then he'll do the artwork, etc.
This would be a great place for me to put all my ideas into, as I have loads of them just siting around waiting to be made.

Btw, maybe we should add beta testers to that list, and proofreaders or such. I remember m0ds suggesting something like a beta testers guild, so this could include that, though outside betatesters can be "hired" too. Maybe even translations at time.

[Haddas]

I'll particiate in anyway I can. Although I have limited time now that I've in a new school.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Ok, thought it out. I'd love to participate, but I doubt I'd have the time, as Anchorhead's soaking up my free time... but if you ever need me for something, particularly dialog-writing (it's my favourite, along with scripting!) feel free to ask. I can also beta-test, and... well, the things under my avatar.

But, if this goes at a leisurely, no-hurry-no-worry pace (never stopping, though), I'd definitely be interested.

BTW, I can also do translations, as you see - and in that quality, at least, I'd like to sign in right now. Portugal needs some more portuguese-spoken adventures, lots of people have no idea of what their missing because of the language barrier.

[Kinoko]

Although that sounds like a cool idea... I'm rather interested in this whole Guild thing. Wouldn't that be cool? Having say a particular bunch of threads or something for each part of game-making (sprites, backgrounds, scripting, music, etc) where people can showcase samples of their work, offer their services or just put themselves out there in order to find other people with the same styles to do projects with. Maybe even mention whether they're available at that point in time, what they might be interested in doing...

Well, -I- think something similar to that would be cool. Your ideas great too, FruitTree ^_^

[FruitTree]

wow, lot of posotive feedback great
I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get a reall good team together!
so, if you wanna join the team, or want to be a parttime "stand-in" or whatever, post your nick, email adress, qualities, and maybe some url where we can check some work you've done

I'll PM or e-mail you ASAP

let's get this show on the road!

[InCreator]

Something is wrong here.

"I want 2 make a gaem/game company and get rich and famous but i cant cuz i cant draw or script or maek music1!1!!
could some1 plzz maek game for me??  "

This is what happens sometimes.
But now what?

"to start a production team, not just for my game, but just to make quality games, they can be any size or genre let's just make em!"
"let's see if we can actually create some fun and stylish games to play/make!"

I like it. The attitude. Motivating along with request.

FruitTree, I wish you luck. Even if AGSers are too busy with their own games/work/school and you're not able to get enough people together, you could still be really successful as a salesman, movie producer or even military general.

You should expand your idea, to get more (positive) responses. Plan whole thing. Tell what quality/size/style/story? game your team should start with, how you imagine whole thing working, how team communicates, etc.
Be more specific.

And It may even work. Your start impressed some people, I believe. Carry on.

in my 3 years of being a member I kinda lost that n00bie-ish sound 
so anyway, this idea is in way to early a state to be talking about the actual games styles atmospheres and such, surely since this isn't just a project to make only my games, but any game that gets the teams approval
the original idea was a game I thought up in a dream but I kinda gave the rights to that game away to screen 7
but to comfort you I've got tons (literally tons) of concepts for games, stories for games, characters for games, ideas for games, arts for games, even tons of games allready being in progress, I'm the kinda guy that starts new a game every week, count it, 160 game ideas...

so anyway make sure to join, we'll talk and see if we're all on one line with this thing

the whole idea is to release a few games that are such a great experience to play, that people will surely support us to make more and more games.

with that I should say (no time for modisty now) that I am fairly innovative in concepts and story lines and very atmospheric in graphics, I've always made games in style, no cheap stuff anyway, if there's someone with the same qualities for scripting or anything else, those people combined could make a great team for sure!

more quality games for everyone!

I kind of lost my point somewhere above anyway, sorry I haven't got anything concrete to show for but this idea is still only an idea.
but who gives?
get aboard! let's see where the ride will take us!

Hey Fruity

If you need a musician just yell

[Pelican]

I'm relatively new to AGS, so I wouldn't be much use for technical stuff, at least at the moment. However I am a bit of an amateur writer, and this would be a good opportunity to develop my skills.

Uni starts at the end of september, but I did one of my modules over the summer, so I should have plenty of free time. Sign me up!

[Czar]

completely forgot, got any questions? wanna join me in my team-quest?  wanna marry me? e-mail me at: fruittree86@hotmail.com

Can I be your gay lover?
Oh, pretty please?


Serious tho' ( i was serious up there, btw), even tho i wasnt planning to do anything, with a COOL leader like you, and you persuasive talker, you, i chose to be a part of the quality making games team. If you want me ofcourse.
I think i should pm you now...

[Joseph DiPerla]

I remember when I was part of the Big AGS Project which ended up being a DOTT Sequel.

I would love to bring big the "big Project", just I would prefer it be an original game concept. I really think the whole AGS community as a whole could get involved in this. Maybe sourceforge will allow us to have an AGS CVS.

[auhsor]

Ok well so you were a part of ATC.
Um tho I am pretty busy for at least 2 months with uni, I think I could be a stand in. I can do some graphics, tho not all that great. I can also provide feedback on concepts and puzzles. I also do a little bit of MIDI making that I wouldn't mind seeing in games.

[mousemat]

count me in for character art and object art

[Andail]

Good luck, my friend!
Announcing this in public is pretty brave... a project like this is a veritable n00b-magnet...so, good luck

[FruitTree]

Andail,
I've always admired your writing skills and always am in awe about the way you know how to create an atmosphere in a game that really grabs the player!
care to join the movement as a writer? creative supervisor or whatnot, you can really set an example for other allready established and respected AGSers, who knows what we could do? maybe even accomplish world peace!

seriously though,
I'm pretty sure your ideas can push the team forward, would you consider joining us?

[n3tgraph]

well, fruittree always has the last call on who he'll decide to work with
