As mentioned in Podacity, The Escapist is holding a competition for indie developers to design and create a Flash-based game about the Zero Punctuation series.
The Rules (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/contests/register/stonkinggreatgame_09)
I would absolutely love to at least try and enter this contest, even if only just to have a game that someone can play/enjoy (either through Escapist or here). However, as many of you know, I have very little programming/visual art skills. I can design and write stories for games, but I can't do the beefy, important parts of the game like all y'all can.
So, what am I getting at? Well, I really would like to make a team made up of Modacity members to create this game. What am I looking for? Well, here's the list so far:
- Artists (preferred to be able to mimic Yahtzee's style)
- Animators
- Programmers (experience with ActionScript is preferred, but from what I understand, it's similar to languages like Java/C++, so learning the tiny bits as you go is fine)
- Writers to create the story of the game and related gameplay mechanics (knowing Zero Punctuation inside-out is an absolute must)
If you can fill one of those spots, or a position that I neglected to list above, post in here so we can get started with this project ASAP. We've only got until October 19, so being decisive helps too!
Current team (for sure):
flibitijibibo: Writer, Audio/Music
Maybes (people listed here rank second to anyone who is totally sure, be careful!):
Jean-Luc: Writer, Artist
sdavis117: Artist, Animator
