Im looking for voulanteers for a game developement "advisory board". (Read: advise)
2 replies, posted
I am slowly working on a zombie survival simulation game. Call it generic if you will, but the fact of the matter is I cannot do the whole project myself. Can I do the work myself? Hopefully, and I plan too. Can I create game mechanics that are fun and entertaining for everyone? No. I am but a single humble man. That is where you come in. (Or somebody you know of)
Let me start out by saying that you will be required to do no work except read a letter for an idea, and give your opinion. That's it! Such as health mechanics, damage mechanics.... which one would work better for this style of game play. etc.. Im not asking you to do anything but write a paragraph or two sometime in the future. Even though it is a job that requires no work, I do have some requirements.
You must be mature. I dont want little kids giving me advice on game mechanics that I am going to be using. Seeing as I am not about to start requesting proof of identification, you will have to decide if you're mature enough.
you must have game experience. How so you ask? Simple: You need to have played a lot of video games, and are able to distinguish between different types of game mechanics, and what their purposes are. Subtle and obvious. Again, no way to really prove this.
I need people who i can "trust". I will be personally contacting people as I think of a new game mechanic or come to a point where I NEED to implement something but haven't thought of anything yet. I cant have people giving my email (which I will only use for this "board of advisers") out. Simple really.
Those are the only requirements. What I expect of you is: to be able to answer an email with however many words you choose about whatever game mechanic options I am debating at the time.
Realize that you may not receive an email from me for a month.... or two months. The next one could be a month after that. due to my school schedule, I am unable to work on my game at a fast pace. So you can safely expect no spam. If at anytime you no longer want to be a part of this "board" (OOOOOH fancy name for a small group of people giving advice to an indie developer) I will remove you from the contacts list of the email and never email you again.
Some of you may look at this thread as spam because I am so eager to get ahold of your emails. And I appear to be pleading. The fact is, I am. I simply cannot make a good game by myself. So if any of you would like to do me a favor and donate a few minutes of your time each month, then please PM your email. There is no way of proving that I WONT give it away. But come on, would I really have stayed a part of this forum community for so long just to get a hold of a few emails?
Also if you PM me your email, you will receive an email (from 'dochsadvisoryboard@gmail.com') with a title such as "Thanks for joining my "advisory board"" or something like that.
P.s. anybody who helps me, and if i ever get to fruition, will get access to the closed beta. (I'll need testers too!) Thanks for reading everybody.
[tab]Mods: I did not know where else to put it. I am asking people for help. I was unsure to put it here or GD. If its in thw wrong place, please move it. Thanks.[/tab]
I could help with this if you like.
Any help would be great. Like I said. I dont expect to get down to refining gameplay mechanics for a while though. Just PM me your email if you want. Or just email [email]dochsadvisoryboard@gmail.com[/email] and I'll put you in the contacts.
