John Bigboote Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 I WANT to get into gaming, but it seems it is just ANOTHER discipline I would need to throw on to the pile, along with: -Traditional art -Photoshop and image editing -2D character animation -After Effects and video -3D graphics and character animation, A:M, Maya... -Html, Flash and Flash animation -DVD and authoring I'm getting a bit scattered. I DO have an excellent idea for a game though, and perhaps I could 'hook-up' and get some programmers interested in collaboration. Is there any 'gamers' forums where you can 'hook-up' or share ideas...? Quote
ragtag Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 www.blitzcoder.com - Forum for BlitzBasic programers, mostly hobbyists, but always need talented people to do art for them. www.indiegamer.com/forums/ - More serious group of independent game developers, some of them making a good living of making shareware games. On both places they'll probably want to see some sample artwork before they consider collaborating with you. Often folks show up there and say things like "I have this great idea for an MMORPG/FPS/RTS/etc, who wants to help me out with it." without nothing to show for what they have done or can do.

Morgan Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 GameDev > Help Wanted In general, programmers outnumber artists. If you show up with some cool-looking art and an idea for a game, you'll probably have a number of people eager to work with you. Picking out the one(s) who will actually follow through is the hard part. -Morgan Quote
