It's pretty easy to work in a group if you just keep one person working with one bit of the game. Like one does all the gfx, one does all the coding and one or two does the music since that doesn't require as much communication. Also agree on which person who is going to put everything together (I prefer the coder).
Now, how hard is that even if you are in different time zones. You just send over the songs and gfx to the coder when you have done some.

@Liquixcat:
1. The domain is http://www.crobasoft.com actually
2. every part is important to get it all to work.
3. Well, you obviously seem quite negative in your response. Taco's never online on MSN cause he's not using msn at a regular basis as we others do. He is more active at the forums though. So you can't say that you didn't wanna join because of that Taco never is online at MSN.

"No i think making music is game´s foundation."
Wow. That is the FIRST time I've heard that one. Just what kind of 'game' prioritizes production of music over graphics and programming? Over 50% of the average budget is dedicated to fleshing out graphics in your average AAA titles, and about 20% on coding. About 5% gets dedicated to sound, and thats including the sound effects too. The music team is usually the smallest in any development studio and is the most likely to be outsourced.
Publishers also do the smallest bit QA on sound in general, only making sure nothing clips or overlaps.
You see "mind-blowing visuals" and "latest graphic technology" as the selling points often for games, but NEVER have I seen "great music" on the back of a jewel box. The occasional game will feature licenses from popular bands, but any publisher will tell you the bands name is worth millions more than its music in a game.
"Think on it fast game or good game?"
Proramming provides a game with funcionality. Making it run fast is one of the coding team's least priorities. In fact, next generation consoles adopt processors that accomidate inefficient coding better than efficient coding since there seems (i'm guessing) to be no regard for efficiency in game code these days.
Music doesn't make a game good. It can greatly add or subtract from the overall playing experience in extreme cases but is never a determinant. Gameplay makes a good game.

whoa there, I said I was thinking of joining ONLY cause of taco, i don't know any of you. now I don't ever talk to him anymore, i wasn't trying to sound mean or anything. so yeah 'iii' still stands. I think I'd be a good asset but I'm afraid I have no idea what any of you are like. although Taco seems nice.
I thought it was .tk, i shuddered at first...lol
thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.
