About the game

I haven't worked much on it, besides all the ideas/story so i don't have much to show you except for the map that i've drawn. But here's a little something about the game:

- Set in 1600/1700s (Pirates)

- Open-World Multiplayer

- 12 Game Modes

And what do you do? Note that 'ideas' or 'project management' is not a valid answer

That doesn't sound overly ambitious at all for a single person team.

I'm good at drawing stick figures, do you want my help?

**noyobean** · 01-24-2012, 01:13 PM

This sounds promising! Where can I pre-order?

Right now i'm just working on the soundtracks and making sure everything goes right, kinda want to take care of things 1 by 1 just so that we don't mess it up.

Yeah, thanks.

Instead of risking further ridicule and trolling I'd suggest you go here: http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/...-in-this-forum , read it through and revamp your original post.

Have you finished all the concept art? Got all the characters and everything worked out? Storyboards?

Just wondering.

Nope, not yet.

**SamuelJordanT** · 01-25-2012, 07:25 PM

What do you need the modeller for than, if you haven't gotten the concept phase finished yet?

Again, not trolling, just curious.

**Skoomax** · 01-26-2012, 06:58 AM

So that i do not have to look for a modeller, in case if i'll finish it

**DougClayton4231** · 01-26-2012, 10:39 AM

Ironbelly is correct. If you want people to help you with your project, you have to give them incentives and show that you're going to do more than sit around and bark out orders or wait for other people to do the work for you. This forum is for developers and most of us (hopefully) are serious about our work. Good luck to you in your endeavors though

**Skoomax** · 01-26-2012, 11:31 AM

Like i said, i want to take care of things 1 by 1 (Not just me) and i'll see what i can do to help

**Skoomax** · 02-15-2012, 02:16 AM

I guess i could need someone with skills in drawing stick figures, to start with

**Black_Stormy** · 02-15-2012, 04:03 AM

12 Game modes? What are they? I could only thing of five or so successful game modes off the top of my head. I'm interested to see how 12 game modes would play. Could you walk me through one or two of them?

**Skoomax** · 02-15-2012, 11:48 AM

Add me on Steam/Skype if you would like to know more.

**恥ずかしい** · 02-15-2012, 12:36 PM

Is this a joke?

**XstreamTech** · 02-15-2012, 01:05 PM

I just want to give you one piece of advice, Try get some more information up on this thread for example and show people that its worth spending their time on and isn't going to be a failed project, I know there is a few on here that don't go down to well. I'm not saying yours will fail but just try be slightly more persuasive and explain in a little more detail...

No, what you could use is a GDD, a Business Plan, a project management infrastructure in place, a fully fleshed out story, a technical design document. Right now you want to build a car from scratch and take it to the races and you don't even know how to drive. Making games is not like playing games, you don't just pick up the controller and learn as you go along. Do your homework and come back in 6 months to a year and show the community that you have some inkling of an idea of how to accomplish what you want to accomplish.

Two thumbs up for you, sir. Totally agree.

Coming back with borrowed art work and screenshots of other people's mods is nothing close to showing people that you are ready to begin recruiting or that you have any idea of how you are going to realize your vision of making an OceanSIM / FPS / RPG / Open World Multiplayer Extravaganza( with a healthy does of zombie survival thrown in, what just for kicks?). Where's the company website? Where's the full gameplay script? Where's the GDD? Where's any sort of demonstration of your ability(ie: a CV) as a qualified project manager and producer? Where is it that we can find any evidence what so ever that you are not a 12 year old boy in his basement who just finished playing Pirates, Vikings, & Knights II and now has decided he's going to fix all of that games shortcomings(and add zombies) with a fully featured release of his own.

What I'm not saying is to give up your dreams. What I am saying is don't take up valuable real estate on the front page of this forum, pushing actually legitimate projects, run by experienced and qualified people, down onto the 2nd and 3rd pages, until you actually know what it is going to take to make even the simplest most dumbed down version of your grand vision. You need to follow all of the suggestions in this thread: http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/...-in-this-forum and come back here after 6-12 months when you have all of your documentation in order and then you might be ready to start recruiting but even then you still haven't established who you are or that you have the necessary experience to manage a project of this insane complexity. So in light of that, go spend a couple of years on other people's teams, or getting a degree, or putting in the 5000-10,000 hours it takes to master a discipline and then bring up this project again. Until then, good luck and keep your passion burning!
