Title: Get Paid to Make a Game $$$
Post by: Mari on Thu 01/04/2004 21:40:22

I am starting a new game. I don't have an Idea of what I want to do yet, I have no artistic ability, and I don't really know how to use AGS, and I don't really feel like "reading the tutorial". I am not what you would call a "gifted programmer" or I would even go as far as to say I don't really know "how to program." I think I might have had a idea for a game when I was younger but I really can't remember. I thought it would be great if some people would help me make my game. I need someone to come up with and Idea, someone to do some graphics, and somone to import it into AGS and someone to do the varius scripting. Now I am only interested in TOP notch people. I am willing to let you get a sponser to be paid for this, however, I will not acctually be the one paying you. If you are interested please don't email me because I am sure that my inbox will be increasingly overwhelmed with requests to help me on my project. Instead, reply with samples of your work and contact information and I will decide who will be good enough for my project.

Thanks!
:D

If your no artist then:
http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=10001;start=20
Whats that all about?

Why do you want to do this? I'm confused completely....

And the thread title is about getting paid, and then you say you won't pay and maybe someone else will? Who the hell is going to pay people to work on your game?

I'm confused completely...

So, pretty much anybody who decided to do all the work for you should also chase somebody else down to pay them and then when your all sone you release the game as yours?

No thank you....

Well, you wouldn't be doing "all" the work. It would be spread out among you. Now I wouldn't acctually be doing anything "game related". I DID however post this so I think that's plenty of work right there. I would be more into the overseeing the final production, as in, I would be makeing sure that I got ALL the credit for everyone's work.

The scary thing is that it's hard to tell whether it's joke or not....
This would never happen in a nice orderly forum such as the critics lounge.

Wait, wait, wait, let me see if I can understand - you are looking for people to do all the work for a project in which your only participation would be taking the credit. Is that it?

Oh, well - it IS April Fool's day, after all.

And if it's not a joke, I'd advise you to seriously rethink your strategy. As in, work.

I think this gives it away.

Nice joke. Too bad people start threads like this all the time, without joking.

I was expecting this joke :D Well executed.
Wouldn't it be funny if some gifted artist or prominent member of the community asked for help in graphics or animation? Oh wait....................

You only want TOP notch people.
You're lazy enough not to make your own game, but will happily go about saying you only want the best.
And you'll tell us if we're good enough
Some flamin' cheek li'l' miss can't be a**ed to make my game.

Yes it was just a joke. I thought I had made it so ridiculous that everyone would know it was a joke. Apparently there are people who acctually post requests this bad, as I have been informed. Well sory for the confusion!

Yes! Don't joke around about things like that! Some people were probably ready to teach you AGS through IMs and PMs and the like! :)
