Hey, I can't do any of that computer-stuff (I just write), but I think I can offer a few tips on generating some responses.

 

First off, know that a LOT of people come here asking for help with games. Maybe they'll get a few helpers, but generally that's about it. Projects fall through left and right in this fandom, so people want assurance that your project will see results. The best way to do that is to make a nice, clean OP with plenty of detail that draws people to the project.

 

A common mistake people make is saying "I can't tell you the plot because it is secret but join me anyway." This generally does not work one bit. Give people a lot of information--the story, major characters, your timeline for the project, what kind of software and tools people should be proficient with, and exact numbers of people you're looking for (i.e. "I need two people who can code C# in Visual Studio."), among other things that you see as necessary to include.

 

Also, it helps to know the general process of making a game. While grabbing VAs early and keeping them interested is nice, you won't really be using them for quite a while. You first need writers, coders, and all the framework-building people first. Artists get thrown in eventually, and VAs are generally towards the back. Then comes beta testers and what-not.

 

I've been on plenty of game projects, including an RPG and an MMO. Every one of them has fallen through, and it breaks my heart each time. 

 

If you want more of my inane advice, feel free to ask away and/or PM me. Good luck with your project!

[Scion of Arcadia 69]

...Ah, might as well throw my ring in to the lot. I'd like to volunteer as a writer. I feel that this could be a great opportunity for me, provided it goes through, and might make a good addition in a portfolio. But I understand if you'd rather not have my services, writing positions can be hard to find as that's where the concept of the game usually starts at.

[BoomBlocks 26]

Game update: Free test file for mane menu, Shows characters so far in game.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/76jbv48q7rhi6i8/Test_1.zip

[Telferi 6,906]

If i want to test the game, I need to sign to the testers?

Just saying, the models look bad, or, if you really want to know in my opinion, horrible. The names, I don't know. I have no experience with game developing other than a website called Scratch, where it's a drag and drop scripting thing, which, is actually pretty good. I can't really do anything. I don't know how to make these games, but, if you can, can you show me? I'm interested in making games of my own, but I don't know how, and all the programs cost too much.

 

Do you have a storyline completed? Do you have ALL the characters you are going to use? Are you going to use voices for dialogue, or are you going to show just text?

Hey?! just saying but no one likes a partypooper. the models actualy are good its just the jpeg was made in my 3dmodeling program with no artificial light elements. . And remember u used scratch its mostly 2d. and the name i know are not good but im working on them. and what im working on is no drag and drop its all hand writen code. and i have plenty of experience making games.

 

I am working on the story-line today. I need a ton of models but stopped making them due  to the fact i need a rigger. yes im using dialogue along side text elements.

Really, you should work on grammar 

[Scion of Arcadia 69]

As one of his writers, I don't believe he's yet done with the storyline or characters. Or at least, he hasn't told me of them.

[Codelyy 1,286]

How many programmers have you got?

If you need any help with the art I'd be more than willing to help I could do some scene or character concept sketches, or even storyboard design. And I've never voice acted before, but if you need it I'm willing to be an extra.

Sure you can do the concept are and help with the story board. If u want plz draw a sketch on Shade to test your skills. The link is in the passage of the topic above.

[Hammy21 9]

Here's some; they're quick and uncolored, as I would be doing in storyboards. Let me know if you need any more finished pieces!
