Game Collaboration Proposal

rocketscienceguy · 2020-11-08T16:27:48

I have a low-effort game idea, and am looking for someone(s) to help create it. The subject matter is a melancholy life simulator set in the current, real world. Core gameplay involves making decisions in regards to simple money management. Happy to work with any age/skill level/gender/etc., as well as a wide range of potential forms of contribution. The most significant contribution you can make is probably being a supportive teammate who will help motivate us to complete the work. The game will be written in Java using the libGDX framework. Right now I’m aiming for a desktop release, but libGDX allows for a write-once, deploy-anywhere across desktop, mobile, and browser. Requires a server with light networking. Better graphics might help, but minimal image and animation assets would still be in line with the feel of the game. Projecting a 3-month time to produce. What I can bring to the table: many years of programming experience in Java - client / server - menu / screen navigation - game logic / flow - source control - ...all other skills needed to produce this game MySQL HTML and Javascript (not needed for the program directly, but maybe in marketing) Professional software development experience an art background - 2D manipulation writing documentation / organization / planning mentoring, if desired perseverance For 8 months now I've been working on a single gaming project, and I'm kind of burnt out on it. I'd like to set aside that project and do another one that will be comparatively quick, this time with a partner or two. As I think it will help me connect with future work, I will want to commercialize the end result and release it on Steam. If you just want to work on the project for fun and experience that’s fine, otherwise we can work out an agreement for fair compensation of your efforts if the game ends up turning a profit. No investment other than your time will be asked for, either way. Please don't feel that the project's success or failure is dependent on any skills you or another collaborator possess. My main goal is to have someone to help me share the load, keep us on our milestones, and bring enthusiasm! What you could potentially bring to the table: Help in staying productive, most likely through communicating and contributing Programming I’m particularly interested in Spring and Entities, which are not yet part of my Java programming paradigms Art Audio Game improvement ideas Cloud computing Distribution on Steam and/or other platform Marketing / networking Project management Enthusiasm Next steps: I’m sympathetic to anyone not wanting to invest a lot up front into making a connection that may fall through. How about a response listing your top strengths you’d like to contribute, and what your goals are in working on the project. I will tag you back within a couple days. I plan to assess potential partners through October, and then accept the best match(es). You can find me on Discord at rocketscienceguy#0662

Hello I am also a programmer with four years under my belt mostly on C#, C++ but I am always keen on new technologies and languages! I also know a couple of things about game design and I am really into production and audio (engineering moslty). Currently I am looking for other people to collaborate for a small project (little content but highly polished) to add on my portfolio! If I sound like someone who fits your team, poke me on discord: Alex Kalf#8386

Ha! @foxtrot117 slips under the wire there. This has been a great resource for meeting people interested in collaboration, and the project is starting on time with a talented set of contributors from a variety of fields. If any jr. programmers find this post past October I'm sorry, but adding you will diminish the quality of mentorship I can offer to all. If your expertise is in the arts (writing, music, and graphics), you're welcome to apply as a stand-by while we assess if more of a certain role would be helpful or not.

Hiii there!
Your projects sounds interesting!

I am currently searching some free time project for myself, because I am interested in working in game development in future. I want it to be a hobby-free time project, due to my current work overload. I am not working in IT at all, however this is my goal eventually and I want to gain an experience in a) working in game dev, b) being a part of a project, c) working in a great team.

I work in e-commerce currently, but my passions are digital marketing, blogging and social media.

I would love to help you in the project. What I can bring to the table:

Social media experience
Blogging experience (working with visual and written content)
Organisational skills
Sometimes I do funny jokes
I have gaming experience (as a gamer)
I have a bunch of soft skills that are 1) being a nice dude, 2) coaching, motivation, 3) planning, organising things

So, if you are interested, feel free to respond to my Discord friend request (from Piktorito)

Cheers,
Jen
