[Operation Shadow] Main Thread / Requesting Storyline Developers and Mappers!

I assume you change the name to Operation Nikkerdix

I smell a trainwreck, sorry.
Unless you get a mad programmer/someone that knows game development it will end terribly. All good games have people employed to do the programming, they are professionals.

Was thinking about applying for this as a modeller and an animator, but the more i read about your plans, the more it sounds like its bound to wreck and fall apart and explode in to a million incinerating micro-bit sized fragmental pieces of belief and hope.

And why do you think this

Simply because he wants people to jump with both feet in first before even knowing what kind of game their going to create, what engine they will be using.

he has said they will get paid, but also sais he is younger then everyone else.
i would be more pleased if he had simply said that its a royalty game, or even freeware.

It doesnt seem as if enough thought and planning has been put in to this project.

Expectations seem a bit too high, which often means he/the team will be let down by their own accomplishment. resulting in loss of intrest to continue if they do start. (i might be wrong about this, only my own experiance tho.)

The original creator sounds like all he will be doing is making up a story, in my oppinion the leader should be the most experianced in these kind of "non-proffessionall" projects, and have everything planned ahead, such things as, what needs to be done, who do we need, what do we expect from this project, etc.

This is all just my own oppinion tho, for all i know, maybe he gets lucky, gets enough guys which are experianced and are able to complete this game, im just not seeing it.

@Lehsyrus Same goes for you.

For both: If you contribute to the group well enough, I will allow you to stay. But if you try to get everyone else to do your work, make fun of other people's opinions / ideas, then you will be removed from the group. This game is aiming for a good group of GM's and a good final product. With slackers or people hating each other, the game will NOT turn out well.
@user590177 We will make the game MOSTLY MP. SP will be only a mini game, just so that the game can progress in community.

Completely agreed, when it comes to actually working on a project, I believe a mature group of people working as a team is better than a standalone person. I never diss opinions I only have legit criticism, and whether it's negative or positive I will try to find ways to improve ideas rather than throw them out.

Nyan, PM me I would love to work collaboratively with you on this.

Seems interesting. Not interested though.
Good luck with this

@crone Long rant is long?
I do indeed have everything planned. I know that if nobody wants to take votes in what type of game we're making, or what engine we will be using, (Or a major fight breaks out) then the game will be an FPS using the Unity engine. I have a major storyline planned out, but want everyone to take a part in thinking of something else just in case they don't like mine. Again, if a fight breaks out, or people don't want to contribute to the storyline creating, then we will use my backups. I know exactly what needs to be done, who we need, what to expect from this project, etc. If the others aren't satisfied with what comes out, then you better believe that encouragement is what I will give and the project will continue, even if I have to do it alone. Everyone will get payed unless nobody wants to get payed, and it will happen through a simple thing I like to call PayPal. There is such a thing as giving fake ages, y'know :P

Any more questions?
P.S. Sorry for the lack of posting for the past 2 - 3 hours, I was playing Xbox with my bro :P

I was just saying, that was what I got out of reading your opening post, what you explained now should have been in your opening post.

And personally i still dont like the vote for engine idea, as im sure there are many others out there like me that are very familliar with one engine, but doesnt know the other.
(I know UDK, but not Unity)

About the payment thing, when you say your gonna pay people, what do you mean?
They get paid a fee when they complete a task? They get one big sum when they complete their whole part in the game development? They get a part of the income generated from the sale of the game?

i would happily think of a storyline. I dont think i am up to that sort of coding im not that good.

why? A. Gets my brain workin, sound like fun!
time? A. except for when im at school almost all day.
skills? A. limited c++ (dunno if it reuired for a game?), moderate javascript

pm if you say yes.

failing to plan is planning to fail

@crone Everyone will get a part of the income of the final product since I don't have the cash to pay them myself, and they all seem to want to get paid..
We'll just have to make the game half free and half premium.
PM me if you have more questions.
@parag0nx9 Format, format, format.... Look over the first post again, then use the given format to apply.
