SinSin · Sat 09/09/2006 19:15:31

Mr Flibble · Sat 09/09/2006 19:23:07

Well actually Sinsin, that DID happen. It was called... something... Project something.

Sphinx?

Well anyway, it was looking damned good but I think its essentially dead or something.

Add Rofl as a proofreader to any project.

fred · Sun 10/09/2006 05:29:33

I think Prince Randian and Johnny Eck, the "Half Boy" could have made some very interesting games, had they still been around.

there is NO doubt that the AGS forums have all the talent needed.

Quote from: Adamski on Sat 09/09/2006 13:01:05
The perfect team are a group of friends working together and enjoying it!

Quote from: Ishmael on Sat 09/09/2006 13:55:56
Me and Pablo.

Quote from: LimpingFish on Sat 09/09/2006 18:41:55
The perfect team is one that finishes a project.

Pablo and me.

And no thank yous from me!

Tuomas · Sun 10/09/2006 11:55:11

Question solved. I have nothing to say to this... (yet for some reason I posted)

SinSin · Sun 10/09/2006 11:59:04

i can be the guy that picks up the scrunched up paper balls off the floor
(although i'd like to be taken seriously about my voice acting

Vince Twelve · Sun 10/09/2006 13:00:57

Ooh, I made a list!

While getting together a team like this would be as incredible as it is unlikely, it is plausible that you or anyone on these forums could collaborate with one or a couple of the people on this list (or with any other talented AGSers) to make a damn fine game. The primary game that I'm working on now, for example, has three people from Calcaver's list (counting myself) contributing in some way to it.

I've had a great time collaborating with various members of this community and really want to collaborate with more people in the future. Depending on my schedule, anyone with a unique game idea, demonstrable talent, or a good track record could easily get me to join their team. I'd assume the same goes for many of the people on this list and on the forum in general.

So don't just imagine forming a dream team... develop your skills, make a few games that demonstrate what you're capable of, and approach the person or persons that you'd like to collaborate with.

And on a side note, the people on top of my personal "want to collaborate with someday" list are Dave Gilbert and Helm.

There was that Gods Of AGS malarky too - featuring Gravity wasn't there? Not sure if they were trying to make a game or not...

Quote from: Zooty on Sat 09/09/2006 18:05:31I am on the perfect team. Just click the link in my signature. GO.

So true!

I was, when first joining AGS, only interested in solo work. Doing EVERY aspect (except music) on my own. However, since the founding of the AoK team, I don't know that I'll go back to solo work. Working with a team is awesome.

There is enough talent floating around here that there are un-ending combinations of members that would make incredible games together. I think it's unfair to single out a few individuals as it makes those not selected feel bad.

I am, of course, not making that statement due to the fact that none of you put me on your dream teams

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Sun 10/09/2006 18:20:49

I would work with you, Darth.*

*Do you feel better now? Or worse?

Dan_N · Sun 10/09/2006 22:33:09

Alright, I saw this thread and just had had had had to post. Indeed, the perfect team will never be, because people are so unpredictable and bodge them up together and there's no telling what will happen. Sure, it'll work for a short period at best, but it will crash and burn very violently when it ends. (bing! ideea: what if the perfect team works only once a year on project, say at mittens; but really really hard; or something, i don't know...)
Anyway, anyone can dream, right? So here I go...

Project Leader: Yahtzee and CJ. Why, 'cause hey, two of my favorite gods.
Graphics: Helm and ProgZmax. These guys are artists. And we all know that no-one does art better than artists, right.
Music: mOds and Grundislav (or who ever did the music in Ben Jordan 1). Definetly. I liked what mOds did in Trilby's Notes and the guitar soundtrack in Ben Jordan 1. You know the one, when Ben's in town. I think.
Scripting: SSH and CJ. SSH has done some incredible stuff. And what more can be said about CJ?
Story Writer: Yahtzee. The guy's amazing.
Puzzles: Yahtzee. The puzzles in all his games are not too easy but not too hard, either.
Office Ass Kisser: me! Hey, if you get to hang arround such people, wouldn't you?

Keep in mind that I haven't gathered that much info and this is the best I could do.

Kudos!

QuoteGraphics: Helm and ProgZmax. These guys are artists. And we all know that no-one does art better than artists, right.

We are artists? And what is everybody else? This thread is stupid to begin with, but it's becoming unbearable. I bet you haven't even played any of my games, and the only reason you know my name now is because you called me 'smacktard'. There's lots of people here with much more crowd-pleasing art styles than me, why don't you search around and include them to your little lineups.

What I see from this thread is 'this is a list of people I like' or even worse 'this is a list of people I think I should mention to be accepted' and the moderators should know better than to let it roll.

Tuomas · Sun 10/09/2006 23:05:38

It's not often that I agree with Helm, but now I couldn't agree more. Pabs couldn't have said it better... What's with the stupid ass kissing threads or posts in competitions, and why do people make those, it's so irritating. And I don't mean because I don't get any, I just can help feeling humiliated on the persons behalf.

The perfect AGS team ...
