I am working on a fangame called Little Big Planet 2D, often called LBP2D. You can find this game at http://lbp2d.com/. A download of the beta/unfinished product is available on this site as well. This is a huge project, and some of the help i need are; *This game IS created in multimedia fusion 2*
A Server coder (for logging in,registering,uploading levels, etc.)
Level Designer
Website Coder
Spriter
and a very good multimedia fusion 2 coder/programmer.

Why go to all this trouble to make a fan game?
Seems like a waste of talent to me.
I agree with you, I would love to do something original. But i started this, and i want to finish it. Plus, this has gotten me known. And now if i release an original game, my fans of lbp2d will most likely want to download it. So, thats why im starting with fangames. They seem to be the more popular games. Anyways, are you able to help the project?
I can see why someone would make a fan game of Mario or Sonic, but LBP? Its one of my favourite games, but there's no way you'll be able to make an experience that matches the original games IMHO
I am not sure that every super mario or sonic clone recreates the original experience, but that's not purpose of a fan game or is it?
There is a 2D version of half life in the works, that will never give me the original experience but it might still be a good one though.

The same thing could hold true for this fan game of Little Big Planet.
I would love to join some teams and do something useful but at the moment I've very little spare time and what I've left will go into my various html5canvas works along with the upcoming Hooghaar Classic. So I sorry I can't help out with coding a website, design a level or draw a sprite.

Website coder, Run the servers (have to be running 24/7), Voice Actor (the voice for the tutorial), Flash Animator (trailers, tutorial videos, etc..), Music Maker, Sound Effect Maker, Promoter (helps advertise and spread word about the game). A lot of things. :3 (This is a huge project. Not just coding, level designing, and spriting are needed.)

Decent sounds good enough for me
Cool. Just tell me what you need (here, through pm, or through email) and I will let you know what I can do. Please note that until summer I will not be able to devote more than an hour or so to this project every day,since I have some AP tests coming up in a few months...
I don't know how well the coding your own games will go, as MMF2 isn't a language,but I can look into various ways to fake it and give plenty of features.

If you put a million monkeys at a million keyboards, one of them will eventually write a Java program.
The rest of them will write Perl programs.
