Look, first of all, this is nothing I am absolutely sure about doing. It just seems like a fun idea. Im just throwing it out there, see what you guys think.
Now the thing is, I came across this programme, AGS, Adventure Game Studio. It's basically a development tool for adventure games, like the ones back in the day. Ive been fiddling around with it, learning a trick or two and trying out a few ideas of mine.
Wouldnt it just be awesome to make your own game? A complete, full-length adventure game, built around a story youve created yourself. Imagine all the hard work, I mean, wow. So appealing. Really. Pouring all the free time you can spare into that kind of a project. Awesome.
But I started thinking that it would be even more awesome to do it along with a few buddies. Just for fun, not for profit. Two, three writers, one or two programmers, a few artists, animators, and if were being deliciously awesome, voice actors too.
The fact that it would be just for fun is the most appealing part about it. A team of people who dont even know eachother, working together and creating something unique. It's quite an accomplishment, too. Surely most companies, no matter their trade, values that kind of devotion and passion in their possible employees.
So I thought i might as well check out the Escapist, see if there's any interest among you guys. I mean, I know I'll have no trouble finding writers here, but Im more interested in artists and programmers.
Anyone?
Again, this is not something that Im definately going to do. But if there's interest, I really think this could be an incredibly fun thing to do.
TLDR: Is there interest among my fellow escapists to make an old school adventure game along with complete strangers? Artists, Programmers, Designers, Writers, or just people with ideas?
