Well then my post wasn't directed towards you, was it?
I guess not, carry on. I do have some stuff done, I just didn't think it would make a diffrence if you saw it. I have concept art of the main character and a very basic story. I need to beef up the story a lot before I can say that any part of it is decided for sure, but I have it, and as I said I have a good modeller willing to work on this BUT he doesn't want to start working until I have a coder, so please don't go saying that I need models before I can get coders, I heard you the first time. PS: No, I wont post the concept art and story on the forum because I don't want people who aren't interested in helping to see it yet. If you want to see it and think that you may be of help then please by all means send me a PM and I'll gladly provide you with everything we have so far.

Pretty much all SDKs are totally free. In after you don't know what you're talking about. HEY GUYS BEING ABLE TO USE DEV-CPP OBVIOUSLY MEANS IT COMES WITH A 3D GAME ENGINE RIGHT.

Re: Coders wanted!
Get the story to at least the middle game. Ideally, you want a plot line so that it doesn't look like you build it as you went. And get a lot of concepts out, really. Anything you can do, do it before you ask others to do it for you.

With Dev-CPP you can download packages like OGRE and other packages you need to make 3D games with, but it doesn't come with the stuff.

It makes a big difference. We aren't interested because you haven't shown us ANYTHING AT ALL.

Uhh Daman yeah I know that. He said coding software not engine. Every computer comes with coding software. It's called "notepad".

Re: Coders wanted!
Not really. RPG Maker could easily be defined as coding software because it is software that codes for you. It's not even an engine because you don't have access to all the code.

Re: Coders wanted!
metal chao wrote: Uhh Daman yeah I know that. He said coding software not engine. Every computer comes with coding software. It's called "notepad". Good luck compiling in notepad. And I haven't used RPG Maker but I'm fairly sure you do not have access to "All the code" considering it appears to be a closed source engine product meaning you only have access to the inbuilt scripting engine and not the actual program source. Feel free to correct me though, as this is a point I didn't reasearch very heavily. Using an engine vs. creating your own is generally a choice you make after you find a programmer, as the choice is generally based upon: #1: The skillset of the programmer/programming team, are they talented enough to create a decent system? #2: The timeframe of your project, how long are you going to have to work on this project? #3: What features you need (Which affects more the choice of engine rather then if you use an engine) But I still maintain that you're not going to have too much luck with your currently supplied information and probably less luck on the DRLFF. My advice to you would be to either try your own hand at it or start thinking about how you present your project to people, remeber where we're coming from (Even the ones who are being less then constructive) and how you would react to a similar post if you were in a coders position.

You make a good point... Alright, I'll give you whatever information I can think of right now. It's a third-person 3D RPG, the dialog system will be similar to Knights of The Old Republic. The whole game will be based on logic and solving puzzles, you're supposed to talk your way out of trouble, not shooting anyone who stands in your way. Anyway, on to the story; in a not too distant future, the world has united into a single nation and in this way eliminating war, the government is seated on two huge man-made islands, one in the atlantic and one in the pacific, these two islands are icons of peace. Just recently robots were introduced as a part of society, they get treated as humans more or less. So far only one type of humanoid robot has been created, you play as one of those robots. You get chosen as a test-subject for a new operating system which is supposed to make the robot more "human". Shortly after the new OS is installed it's infected by a virus. The virus causes the you to become self-aware. I'm not saying more. Partly cause the rest of the story is still not solid, but also because I'm really really tired right now. XD

Re: Coders wanted!
A good start would probably be to make a 2d rpg. There is a multitude of rpg making software, especially in the realm of online rpgs.
It has been a while since my friends or I have worked on any though, try Konfuze, or the Twilight engine.
Goodluck pilgrim.

I'm not saying more. Partly cause the rest of the story is still not solid, but also because I'm really really tired right now. XD See, that's far more interesting then your original post. It sounds like you've got an interesting concept going on there, the real thing with these concepts is actually pulling them off gameplay-wise. As for your actual search, you might want to try showing that story around to a few more websites that are more coding-oriented, as it's a interesting concept and would definately appeal to some people. If you do decide to go 2d I would not recommend Konfuze or Eclipse or Whatever the hell they call themselves now, simply because if you've seen many of the RPGs created in engines such as that it becomes apparant that: The overall feel of the game is generally the same, this is an aspect some game desingers seem to overlook, how the game feels and move in regards to physics can make games feel extrodinarily similar even if the actual graphics, or even some of the gameplay is different. My only other advice would to be to try and get your "Amazing Modeller" to create some sort of sample, that would greatly help your project. Good luck with your search, with a larger story like that, and a decent graphics modeller you might actually attract someone with the talent to help you.
