[DSG] NOW HIRING

Posted by DSG on Nov. 5, 2009, 2:10 a.m.

Yea, hey listen. This game has just too much damn potential to be the responsibility of just one individual. So…

I'm hoping to round up a team of crack game developers and artists. ALL I REALLY NEED is someone to write the story [the entire story/gameplay of the game] I mean I need a writer who can come up with new ideas for what the character will be doing in the game, where he goes, how the game starts, the goal of the game, the ending, all that good stuff, MAKE IT EPIC. I'm really getting far from the metroidness when it comes to story. Gameplay wise, its VERY metroidy; however I've been trying to come up with a more prince of persia/zelda style story. I also WANT to find someone who can make better ambiance music than I, a fresh mind with a unique approach and unique skills, as well as the resources to create something SERIOUSLY professional.

This game is going to be PROFESSIONAL. ENTIRELY, FULLY, PROFESSIONAL. Anyone up to the task of being part of my project?

ALSO. I do love the hud in this game how it's all huge and moving and all that, but it simply gets in the way of the visuals half the time. I love it but it must be replaced with something… oh, I don't know… PRACTICAL.

Anyway, other news. Cyan is the new orange. I reverted back to the original color concepts, and actually recolored the backgrounds, and turned down the brightness of and desaturated the ruins tileset. FURTHERMORE, my new banner is infact an enlarged and slightly photoshopped screenshot, so… there's what the game looks like now.

But… yea. NEEDING writers and creative visionaries for full involvement. OR, just shoot me a concept in a comment, READY, SET, GO.

just have the hero collect crystals and save the princess

that plot sells millions
quite true. though lets not have another "mario with a shotgun" game…

but metroid without the story of crashing into a planet and battling her way out wouldnt have been as successful. if youre just there, sure you can enjoy the game, but you are confused. WHY ARE THERE BIG MONSTERS ATTACKING ME?? Yes, there doesnt have to be a huge plot like halo, but some background that is original and makes sense would work great.

i can give ideas.. uhhh….

ill PM you.

It does rather depend if you want a total re-write or for the designated writer to greatly expand upon a core concept that you want to explore.

You clearly have no idea what professional means.

"1)engaged in a profession or engaging in as a profession or means of livelihood; "the professional man or woman possesses distinctive qualifications …

2)a person engaged in one of the learned professions

", according to google. Most "professional" games don't have very good stories, and many "indie" games have quality levels far above titles made by the bigger developers. It's a stupid word, don't call me in idiot because you wanted to sound cool.

Additionally, Kaz's penis wouldn't have to be 1000000 inches long for him to suck it - indeed if it were, it would prove to be impossible for him to reach.

I only say that because we all know how teams with GM work around here. Or anywhere.

Alright, I can work with something like that, no problem. Any plot twists necessary, or do you want a simple Metroid storyline, like Kill X, save Y?

Not just your sarcasm.

On a more serious note, I think the songs you made are good enough, but a little long for in-game music. Also, imo they need a bit of mastering, which I am willing to do.

I've always wanted to work with you…

I can do ANYTHING but programming. I do crazy ambient music. And I can kick ass with writing/stories. I think you ahve a lot of your visuals under control, but I'd love to do concept art.

Talk to me on MSN or something sometime.
