Hello everyone, I posted something before in gaming, but I think they told me to post here no reason given. I am looking for 12 people that are good with game programming and graphics, my idea is an online game like Unreal Tournament 2004. But there are many twists and ideas to it that makes it stand out. For example, each is Character belongs to a group and has a weakness and strenghth. If interested please let me know. Thanks

You should ask a mod to move this to the 'Help Wanted' forums. Sounds like a good idea though. Good Luck.

First of all, this seems more like a Help Wanted topic, because you are looking for people to help you out.

Secondly, it is very unlikely that people will just jump on board to help you make you "Unreal Tournament" game. People have their own ideas, so why would they drop them to come make yours? If you really want them to help you, you must give them reasons other than "there are many twists and ideas that make it stand out".

Third, Unreal Tournament takes many skilled people with a huge budget a long time to make. It is highly doubtful that you will be able to make such a game, which will also turn people off. You should look at making a smaller, more manageable game such as tetris or pong before you start looking to make huge online shooter games.

I agree it takes too long. But we are starting with small parts and building it, like one map and a few charcters, to test and so on. plus letting people try it and so on. till we get the actually thing. Plus moved it to help section,

thank you
