Gaming and development

[Pietervas]

Hi all the gamers I'm looking for programmers and want to be developers. Come on lets get the talent out there and start doing what we love. I'm an adicted gamer and but I can't help it I love it but I want to this as a full time job.

Imagine doing what we love and getting paid for it. I also know that starting your own game developing company is not going to be easy but "what te hell" I want to that and I'm going to.

Join me and lets start

Pietervas, I saw your post about wanting to start a game development company.

Just a couple of questions.

Are you starting a serious business? Will you be paying salaries or would people be paid afterwards? What kind of game will you be creating and which tools and engines will you be using?

Solitude, thats the thing I'm starting out and I'm looking for partners to do all the planning and thinking together. Have a couple of game ideas, engines and stuff not a clue, but who's perfect and all new businesses go through start-up problems.

This is just to see if there are any interest at all and from there we can work

My strategy is this:

Looking for +- 10-15 people all over SA.
E-mailing or skyping each other what ever the mediam may be.
Discussing a game ganre?
Deciding who does what?
Have a get together, where ever?
This is going to be a musketeer thing.
Getting sponsers from big gaming companies and magazines like PC Format and Nag.
I've got most of the details sorted.
Come on I need more ideas more people, please.
