update
August 23rd, 2004the site’s got software installed, now.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
Writers, writers, game designers, ideas people, programmers, and graphics artists - in that order of preference.
I’m just an ideas guy, with a bit of writing experience..
I’d like this to not be a “committee-run” business, but if that’s what all the people who participate want, that’s what we’ll do.
Hosting for the site is provided by Arikel.net, my company. All I ask out of that, is that I get a job if/when the company starts producing materials that make money.
The basic gist of the thing is, I think people as a group can manage a business better than one person - I also believe if you’re going to make a successful game, you need more than one person designing it.
So, I’d like to basically create a world (or a few), write game systems for it (them), and see if we can get everyone involved in on the ground floor of a new business.
I expect there to be a few spin-off businesses from this one, each with its own business model. A video game business will work differently than a roleplaying game business.
