Alright I have been in many groups before and every single one of them has died in a month or two. I want to start a group that will actually get dedicated and make some games. I don't want a whole bunch of whiners that just say "thats too hard" and another negative comments. Also I want to be open to any game idea and not suggest a idea and block out all other ideas. This group has to have a wide variety of people with different skills to help and support each other. This are the kind of "jobs" that i want people to fill.
-Sprite Artist
-Artist
-Programmer
-Musician (I would perfer something other than techno)
-Website designer (Group needs a site)
-Storyboards
-Voice Acting
-Game designer
-Background/foreground artist
-Level designer
and anything else that falls into this catagories, and there can be more than one per "job". I'm not that great with making websites, so we would need someone who is good at that. I am already working on a fighting game, so that could be the first project for the group if this goes over well.

I'm making this epic game with a few buddies. I was kinda hoping for a large enough team, but it seems that a lotta people tend to disappear when discover how 'hard' it is to do some of the stuff I had planned (though thankfully, our skilled lead artist and lead programmer are still doing a great job).
Anyways, to the point...
How bout an alliance? I've done a few alliances back a few years ago before TDC even existed, and they've proved very useful. If you do a little search on Google, you might find a few leftover sites that still link to my old Freebor Games site, ranking them among some of the biggest sites, even though I didn't really do much with Freebor back then . That be the power of alliancing...
Not much for either of us to lose. I could help you guys with game design, while you could spare any of your extra men or women for gaps we have in our team.
(BTW, I don't see much purpose for storyboarding )

I don't know about this group idea. I never get to do anything proper or just leave it cause everyone is lazy. If there was a spot with a "Game-Menu Gfx Maker" that's possibly the only thing I can do right now
alright Muz that sounds like a good idea, only problem is im the only member everyone else, like you said complained about it being too hard, or just left. I would be happy to take the offer though

"preferably set yourself on fire and get someone to take a photo."
Normally I'd say that comment was a bit mean, but I still haven't got over that time when I reviewed Fire's game, and he deleted it! I was only trying to point out what could have been better!
You could delete a review on your game? I didn't know that..

He did the same to me too. Unfortunately, ShadowCaster thought I was pointgrabbing, so he took away 10 points and then gave 5 back to me. I hate it when people forget their punishments.
I can do a few of these 'jobs' to a resonable degree of decency, basically most things with the exception of voice actor, web designer and Musician. My 'fortés' are probably sprite design and programming. I'm pretty much happy to do anything a group would be doing.
you don't have to be masochistic to klik, but it helps.
I can only really help at programming. I'm pretty good at it though.
That 'Alliance' is a good idea.
Actually, thinking of all the skill this site contains. I'm shocked there isn't more high quality games. People need to form teams if they want their games to look great. I've seen games with great graphics and no programming ability, aswell as solid programming and gfx made of lines. I've heard good music and seen great backgrounds. People need to make teams.
thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.
Hey i wouldnt mind doing some sprite works or programming. If ur interested email me using my DC email or IM me at WickedStudios14. Thanks

Methinks the biggest problem with the community is simply that everyone wants to look out for themselves. You know, the whole thing where everyone thinks that they should use their own hand-crafted platform engine, draw their own friggin sprites, etc. Only good games I've seen made solo were the stuff from FA, but considering how their fans were the type who'd wave pitchforks and lock their idols in rooms, I'd say they were highly motivated.
The 2nd biggest reason is too much ambition, too little planning, and even less time. Most of you should know what I mean .
You know what... alliances have always brought me a lot more good than harm, and I think that with some pooled up time and effort, we could solve most of the problems out there. Heck, people might actually respect the Click Community instead of this pothole it's become.

I hope people get over that. I give my sources to anyone who asks it, just so they can understand how I made it. Not cause I spend my time helping others, but I made it already, why not kill two birds with 1 stone.
We need to boost the KlikCommunity...but I'm already helping everyway I can, so everyone else get off your ass.

I also enjoy making graphics for the fun of it. And I know that, even if the game doesnt get made and I feel disappointed or whoever I'm making the graphics for doesnt totally appreciate the work than atleast I had fun making them and it taught me a lot as far as graphics go (also teaches team skills no matter what youre doing in the group). Tis good practice.
I am willing to help in everyway I can, but I will only put time into something I think I can learn from (eg. animation) and something I'm actually interested in doing. I shouldnt be expected to spend a heap of time on something that Im not learning from or interested in or, in all liklihood will not get complete. So in that sense, I am selfish.
And not everyone is suited for group based work and theres nothing wrong with people learning the way things work if they want to or they'll get stuck relying on everyone else for the rest of their clicking experience, and THAT would get on the nerves of the most sharing people here.
