Description

I am planning to make a game named fractal. I planned to do a kickstarter and then hire people but that would not be possible for me due to age. so if anybody wishes to help it would be much appreciated and would not go unheard. once the game is made and hopefully commercially released each person shall have a profit from the cut.

Firstly, please un-format your text colour.
Its a pain to try and see in the dark theme of this site, which a large number of us use.

Let me take a wild guess, you were born in 1997?

 

[Foxi4]

Let me get this straight - you have a script that you want to turn into a game with no previous game design experience or programming skills, you want to assemble a team of coders and artists to make that a reality, you offer 2,5% of profits to each individual on the team as incentive and you expect those complete strangers to work effectively together on long distances?

...I have a bad feeling about this.

 

[kaylin martin]

yes i am 15 but i don't believe that makes a difference because i enjoy what i am doing and am taking computing in school and will go on to do game developing in college

 

[kaylin martin]

formatting changed

 

[Nathan Drake]

How do I put this nicely....hmmmm....I got it!

No.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

You need a lot more material before you can go about hunting for additional team members. You basically have a wish and an e-mail address. AKA a crapshoot.

 

[Black-Ice]

Now that I can see it, I like your passion and guts to pitch this.
But I think its very very ambitious atm. Its not easy task, not some after school project.

 

[kaylin martin]

thanks black-Ice
i know its not an easy task but i believe my passion and determination will drive me through. I have 3 people up to now to help with this:
Jordan who was mentioned before
a composer from france
and a sound effects specialist

I found the two on gamedev.net

 

[kaylin martin]

nobody?

At least he picked a generally untapped and un saturated genera. In fact I can't even think of any scifi shooters released in the past 10 years.

sarcastic much. Too be honest i don't really care about peoples opinions if there just going to f*ck around they could at least say something constructive

Something this big coming from an idea of a 15-year-old? I'd be amazed if this actually works out.
I, a 14-year old, who has been learning C++ for 3 years now, am developing a game, as well. It's a project built by two devs, so we aren't aiming for something this large (after all it's ascii-based for now )
I wish you luck on the project, but starting the development of a game requires more than just a script.

 

[DCG]

I made a game in school once XD
It was build in one day, I'll try to look if I still got the files

We called it Nuclear africa and won a small price with it XD
(it was really crappy)

Ok you want something constructive?

Lets start at the beginning. You are the script writer. What programming languages do you know? Java, C, C++, Python, Ruby?
Whats your scope for your project? When will this be available?
How are you planning to get the rights to get this available on current/nextgen consoles?
How are you going to get everyone to cooperate and work on your time schedule?

I wouldnt put that you have a detailed story. Thats false advertising.

HEAR THIS. IF you get someone to set you up a kickstarter, I WILL BACK you. And I will watch you the entire way as you prove my all of our doubts wrong.

Someone has been playing a bit too much game dev tycoon.

 

[Foxi4]

There's a general consensus when it comes to project starting that you recruit people once you have something to show - at least a tech demo of what your project is going to be like that you want to improve upon. Just a script isn't enough, anyone can write a story.

 

[mameks]

In all seriousness though, you're asking a hell of a lot from people who would be getting piss all in return.
You may have written the story, and I'm sure it's...adequate, but you're asking people to do all the heavy lifting for you, and there's absolutely no guarantee that you will get anywhere near close to finishing this project, and that if you do there's also a very slim chance that it will be anything remarkable. You've decided on a game in the most cluttered genre, with the titans of the games industry at the very top of the heap and everyone else just farting around in the cesspool that it's become.

By all means continue to aspire towards making this game, but not until you've got the story properly polished, and some actual resources. Asking on a forum for people to help is obviously a good way go start off, but not when you're keeping the majority of any profits for doing the easiest part.
Anyways, that's my shit said, enjoy
