Then you're not a very good developer, are you?
--- Quote from: flametail on April 05, 2011, 04:24:15 PM ---there are people in the world with nothing better to do whod love the job

There are very, very few. Doing work for a game is time-consuming hard work. If they're not getting paid then why spend the time on it when they could be working at a legitimate job.

Yeah, no.

And then he made some content on his own to show other people his skillsets. Then it was called a "portfolio". This isn't rocket science.

Do we get any examples of what you've done previously? Or are you just trying to market yourself as the "helpful ideasguy"?

I have many unrelated things I have done. But much to everyones dissaproval, this is my first game I've made from scratch. (unless you count an old 2d mmorpg made on the eclipse engine)

If you think no-one will help, you can at least make a recommendation towards a good engine, or give a tip where to start, and I'll try to go indie.

Give us anything. If anyone is going to be willing to help, you first need to prove that you're competent.
Otherwise this whole situation is: "Guys, I've got an idea - I want you to make it, and I'll take most the credit ... and you don't get payed".
