[HELP FOUND] Programmer for my Final Year Project game!

[kiddou]

Hello AGSers,

I'm a university student in my 4th year, Interactive Media major. I'm doing my Final year project, which I have decided to be an adventure game. I originally wanted to do everything by myself, then I realize I'm a complete noob in programming and learning how to use AGS isn't as simple as I'd thought. And I just found out recently that outside help is allowed, so that's why I want to seek help from you awesome people!

So far, what I and my supervisor have been working on is the basic storyline/structure of the game and a few character/background drafts. Here are some artworks I've created for the game:

Main character Pico.

Pico's bunny sidekick, who will turn bad near the end


Pico's best friend, Tea

The game will be about a schizophrenic 8-year-old girl learning to live with her illness, as well as her friends and family's journey of understanding her. The game should consist of 3 main quests, and should be played in about 10-30 minutes. If you're interested, I can give you the 2-page long synopsis that I and my supervisor came up with.

This project really means a lot to me, so I would be so so grateful if anyone could help me with it. I can't promise you lots of benefit, except for a chance of creating an awesome game that will be shown in public and played by many.

What you will have to do: I would say pretty basic AGS programming, creating room scripts and stuff. I will provide all the art and writing, sprites and dialogues and such, then you can help me put everything together.
Here are few things that I think would be great for the games, so please see if you can achieve these: have an NPC that follows the main character around and the main character can interact with; player can examine an inventory item and look at multiple close-up images of it (the front and back of a photo for example) - would be great if I can somehow put in a 3D rotatable object; a Help/Guide system when the player is stuck, that's basically a voice telling the player to do this and that; Halfway through the game, the backgrounds of the previously visited rooms will change (I want them to be the same places but with a darker, gloomier look); random speeches happening in the background; a crafting system to combine several objects at once.

The deadline will be at the end of April 2014. If you decide to help, I really hope that you can stay committed until the end because I would be screwed if the project is not finished on time .

The game is non-commercial for now, but who knows what we can do with it if it turns out to be a big hit? Of course I would not hesitate to share the profit if there's any .

Thanks a lot guys!

Hey, maybe I could collab with you with puzzle ideas.

And again, if you need a proofreader, I'm willing to do so.
