Create a "newbie" team for experience

ravinDavin · 2011-11-25T00:14:50

Team name: No team name as of yet Project name: No projects currently Brief description: Basically, What I want to do is to find like minded people that are at around the same skill level as me and basically build an idea from scratch. It will be purely for enhancing our level of programming skills and to learn new things. And possibly move on to bigger and better things. Target aim: I plan to create a team of hobbyist programmers that are trying to get better and be able to break into the industry. It is purely an "on the side" type of deal, we have a meeting on skype for example, and just throw around some ideas of some game we would like to create. And just start doing it. No pressure, no anything, Just working in a team and learning. There is no problem with going inactive for a couple moths or whatever, That is the benefit here. We are not necessarily trying to complete a project! Compensation: Just experience I suppose. But who knows, perhaps in the future we get to know each other very well and end up creating an awesome game! Technology: The languages I currently have used are Java,c++,c#. I have only really made 1 proper game, which was a scrolling space shooter in 2D using C++ and SDL. At the moment I am learning XNA which seems pretty powerful for creating games! Again, it does not really matter about the technology though, if you are a new-ish games programmer and want to try working in a team with no strings then I think this is for you. Talent needed: Anyone really, If a rookie artist wants to get some of his work published in a game, a composer/writer etc. Just remember though, Don't expect that you will see anything you submit in a game anytime soon! You are welcome to just come and throw ideas about. Mainly though, this is about learning programming, so that is my main focus. Team structure: These are the people currently Interested, I am going to add their skypes here so you can all add them aswell. [color="#FF0000"]EDIT////////////////////// SKYPES: shawn.dundas leadheadcrushermachine soulmen1991 Website: Don't have a website. Will probably just use an IRC client or Skype to chat. Contacts: my Skype name: ravin.dave I would normally be online after 6 o clock. [color="#FF0000"]EDIT 2 I have created an IRC channel. Join at #hobbyists @ AfterNet. If you do not feel like downloading an IRC client, here is a webchat app you can use: http://en.irc2go.com/webchat/?net=AfterNET Just enter hobbyists into the channel name, and whatever nickname you would like. Previous Work by Team: None Additional Info: Not sure if this was the correct place to put this topic. Sorry if it isn't. Feedback: ANY

Ok, since everyone are telling they have similar interests but aren't doing new topics, I suggest we join #newbieteam @ freenode and start chatting

I'm a writer very interested in a project like this. At the moment I'm working on a script for a game with intended gameplay much like the Uncharted series.

Anyone that is interested please send me a message and i will reply immediately.
