  1. About the game Crystallize:
     

    As you should know, this title comes from an instrumental song called itself Crystallize, and who plays it? No more no less than the protagonist of the game, Lindsey Stirling (unless you all tell me it's not possible to put her in the game of course, eheh). Lindsey in the game is a violinist girl (like she is on the reality), but she actually came from the sky and has some magical powers that the human nation still did not discovered. And she wants to show everyone how to start gaining those powers in order to destroy evil. But...since there are many monsters and humans from the evil part of the world that want to stop Lindsey from her mission. Things aren't gonna be THAT easy...

    Characters:

    Lindsey Stirling → http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Stirling
    Alexis Nitros (myself) (actually my name is Alexis Fernandes, but I think in the game it sounds better Alexis Nitros, eheh) → https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/v/t1.0-9/601072_10201467108814869_683805959_n.jpg?oh=4ae8c2bbd85b04ca5553eca5ce601325&oe=54EA70B0&__gda__=1424337890_ce101b257daf911f66bc5f278ed96485
    Felix XV (it's actually a blue talking wolf, just remember Red XIII from Final Fantasy VII and you'll know what I mean...but no no, it does NOT have the same aspect as Seto, Red XIII father, this one is really a normal wolf...,the only thing they have in common is that they learn the same abilities of humans, by the way, this is a fictional character)
    Martina Wilhelmsson (this one is a fictional character, a blonde girl)

    Tiago Bruno (a brazilian dude, another fictional character)

    Deanna Vega (this girl does have a long sword like Sephiroth, another fictional character)

    OST:

    Crystallize – Lindsey Stirling

    Arabian Nights – Aladdin (instrumental)
    Resistance – MUSE
    Yuna's Theme – Final Fantasy X-2

    RUDE! - Daryl Ong (cover by MAGIC!)

    Nascence – Journey soundtrack

    and other songs suggested by the team

    Positions I need for the team:

    Eventing → 1 / 4 (I am already one of the eventers, but I might need 3 more)
    Scripting → 0 / 5 (there aren't scripters on my team yet, 5 scripters would be good, so that I would make sure I will make a great game)
    Mapping → 1 / 5 (yeah I am one of the mappers as well, but I think in this area I need more help, so I raised number of people I can accept)
    Art → 0 / 3
    Pixel Art → 0 / 4
    Music → 1 / 3 ( I do have some knowledge of music, but I accept some suggestions from at least two other people, yeah, that would be nice )
    Tester → 1 / 5 (yeah I will want to test the game myself, but I believe if everyone tests the game it would be better )
    Writer → 0,5 / 5 (I am not sure if I will have enough time to write, but indeed people like when I write. But don't worry even if I write, this doesn't mean I won't accept 4 more people :) )
    Royalties → 0 / 5

    After this post I will reveal the time I have for the project, now I can't, sorry
  2. Hey I'll help with the project if it is still alive
  3. Do you REALLY mean to tell me you think you can coordinate 40 people?

    And with no real money, work trade or incentive involved, too...This is exactly the sort of thing that makes people not take you seriously. 

    Yeah, 40 people working for you for free in such a...specific game are NOT going to happen. I'll be surprised if you got 10 to actually collaborate and do the work.

    Honestly now: asking for this many people for such an unimpressive presentation just makes it seem like you're looking to be the "manager" while you sit back and watch people work, which in the business of people who actually make game that screams "BAD NEWS, DO NOT WORK WITH" (regardless of what your intention is, that's the image we get).

    You may want to re-make this by:

    A>Present it MUCH better and make the project actually appealing, and

    B>Revise what you actually request, as 40 people for this is a joke.

    Seriously, as a developer I can't take this seriously at all. I'm pretty sure that's not what your intention is.

    Also: the theme is VERY specific and...somewhat weird. And  self-insert character is more in the realm of fanfiction rather than serious game design. Also very...egocentric, in the sense that this would be people helping YOU and only you accomplish wish fulfillment (?) with a self-insert and a...real person? I don't even know.

    I'm not saying don't make the game or recruit help, but for pete's sakes write up something that doesn't sound so self-serving if you actually want real help. Overall this really is not appealing and presented very badly.
  4. okay... this is clearly a newbie and you don't gotta be hard about it I know I am a developer and do it proffesionaly but still I offered. Infact if she takes me I can help with many parts therefore not needing as many people.
