Crimson Haze is a community built MMORPG. The goal being to assemble the artists, writers, musicians, actors, programmers and game designers of the world for one giant project. Literally made by the people, for the people. Serving as a game we all want to play, and simultaneously proof of our collective talent in each of our respective fields. Thousands of pieces of portfolio art, animations and music are made each year, why not put them in something, and make a game that is greater than the sum of its parts?

Crimson Haze will be work, it will be play, and it will be a community phenomenon.



I've been writing game design documents since the age of ten, and drawing monsters since the age of three (crayon on walls). It is my unwavering dream to be a game designer, but not just that. Because I love to make a large variety of art: written, 3d, 2d, musical, I'd really like to be a jack of all trades. This opportunity no longer exists in major game companies. This coupled with the difficulty I've faced trying to get a game design job, is why I'm spearheading my own game. But instead of putting together a small team that will most likely fall apart when they lose interest or time, I will use a massive team, over a long span of time to make a game unlike any other.

It should also be no surprise that this different form of development, design, and management has intrinsic potential. When people with good ideas, meet people with other good ideas, they become great ideas.

It's my belief that every reader is a writer, every art lover an artist, every movie goer a director, and every gamer, a designer. But not until the internet has there been an invention that can truly unite every mind on the planet to collectively create a single, gigantic and amazing work of art.

Let's be the first.



Crimson Haze Forum

I also posted this in Jobs, but I'd like some more input on the idea, and any suggestions that the community might have. If I can't double post, I'll take down the one in the jobs subforum or the mods can go ahead. This project doesn't quite fit with the other help-wanted ads and thus doesn't belong next to them. Thanks.

This belongs more in help wanted than in the lounge. Don't worry, there are countless other "community" MMO postings in there, so it fits right in -- they just don't stay near the top of the forum very long, for obvious reasons.

Edit: And yeah, double posting is a no no here. Don't hold your breath over this topic staying open.

Edit Redux: The Help Wanted posting, for those interested.

It fits just fine along with the other projects that want help. Anyone interested in this project can check out the Help Wanted link posted by MaulingMonkey.
