PreviousPage 2 of 3Next

thanks uscobra11, but you people don't seem to understand why i posted this,
the point of this is so that people who can do the job (mapper, programmer etc) and when those people contact me they can ask more questions and get an the answers they need

and for those who think banjo kazooie isn't a game for everyone i direct you to this
jontron is a respected internet reviewer and egorapter is a very talented animator, voice actor,
thankyou

to Lpfreaky90
well; a few general things would be useful:
1) how big do you want the team to be: the team is about 15 right now and im planning to stop at 30
2) how big will your levels be: play banjo kazooie
3) how may levels will there be: there will be one hub world and 6 worlds in the hub
4) what's the timeframe of your release: one year
5) what information do you need from us before we could join your team? all we need from you is a resume from you with name, timezone, skype or steam name and some of your work

I think you're looking at this the wrong way mr yogert. Its not a privilege(don't know if that's the right word) for us to come work for you, its a privilege for you to have us work for you. (Hope you understand what I mean).
Most of the people here are capable of doing great things on their own. You have to convince us that working for you is better for us. And you're not really doing that...
And no, we wont even bother contacting you about it cause why wouldn't you just answer the questions here?

i do understand caret, and i thought that was how i was coming across,
as for the people being capable, theirs no question that most of the people on thinking with portals are talented, but there is a question on if they are willing.
as for not answering your questions, i am fairly sure that i have been answering all your questions,

programmers will get (estimate)15-30% overall profit
animators will get (estimated) 15-25% overall profit

1) how big do you want the team to be: the team is about 15 right now and im planning to stop at 30

in case people will get 15% that'll mean that you'll pay 30*15 = 450%
Sounds like a bad deal for you ;)

if you read that all it says estimated, the amount is dynamic depending on a few factors,
please be serious about your reply's

yeah well; I think my reply is rather serious.

If you really want your team 15-30 people that'll mean that the maximum profit per person is 100/30 - 100/15 = 3-7% ... promising 15-30% is a rather scam then, even if it's an estimate basic math would be useful ;)

All in all the only thing I hear is "I want to make a mod in the source engine and I need help, if we get greenlit (did you think about the $100 you now need to actually submit your game to greenlight?) you can get a bit of a share.

That wouldn't really be a problem but you don't show anything of the quality you have in house now; what you've done; if you can actually get the thing to work; what source game you will take as base. It would also be useful to know if you ever led a mod team before; how that turned out. show some of your previous work, doesn't matter if it was for source or not. That is information what we need in order to see if we want to join.

I seriously cannot comprehend the stupidity of this statement. JonTron is a hilarious fat asshole who plays video games and yells about them. Egoraptor is a spawn of the early days of Newgrounds, and is also fucking hilarious. Neither of them are remotely relevant to game development.

Your overall lack of knowledge, unwillingness to elaborate regarding the project, and general lack of professional demeanor in your proposition (seriously, how am I supposed to fucking entertain an offer that doesn't discern your from you're) leads me to believe that you are an extremely over-ambitious teenager (or younger) who is nowhere near qualified to manage a project, or responsible enough to actually pay people for their efforts. I sure as hell don't trust you.
