Looking For New Game Developers

[quinns]

Alright... Mark G... I'm not starting a new thread about a new game here. I'm just looking for recruits for our new gaming company!! I thought this CTP group always had good input on new ideas.

We are starting a new game company using workers around the world, via the internet. (Please don't trash this idea until you've read the following link thread. )

Damn Quinns, this is a fantastic idea!!!
I've been thinking for months on creating the story of a human history simulation, find some programers and make a company on your standards! A company with no offices, no working hours etc. But I wouldn't dare to present my idea at list for a year or so.
Two people with the same dream would be a great start Quinns.
I will totaly support you on this idea!

BTW if something good comes out from this story MarkG will certainly be proud of it and certainly won't close this thread yet as many many people might like your idea but would never visit the other games forum to find out about it.
So MarkG, don't ...yet .

[Franses]

I agree with Keygen, Mark. I would never have found it without this thread. So, please leave it for a while.

[St Jon]

Never having visited the 'Other Games' BB neither would I.

[quinns]

Well that's just great Keygen, Fraze, and Franses!

I'll put you all in the group. You can contribute as much or as little as you like. We well divide up any profits we may make dependant upon the number of hours applied to the company. (See the thread above for details on how this works if you're interest.)

Franses, we can use your skills immediately (if you have some time). Until we get structured better to vote, I have given you the chairmanship of the Administrative Council, (if you are willing), because you are the most qualified of the 11 of us so far. I think you will find The Viceroy (Francis) will be of some good assitance on the Administrative Council.

Take a look at how I proposed the "approved" hours and "applied" hours concept, and see what you can find wrong (or right) with it. Until we get a better idea of the participants, there will be an Administrative Council and a Production Council. I will oversee both Councils and contribute to both. The size of your Council will be up to you right now. We'll get some by-laws written up later, but in the meantime, part of the Administrative Council's duties will be to establish the structure of the company and form the by-laws. Keep track of the hours you spend on this. You have been "approved" for 20 hours of work, with 2 hours "applied" to you already.

Part of the Production Coucil's duties will be to "approve" hours to the different workers that are part of the team. The main function of the Production Council will be to produce games.
