Hrm. Back in the old days such an announcement would have a flurry of activity. I guess that's what we get for not yet having a full packin ready with step-by-step 'how to use VERGE' instructions.

All the work I'm currently doing on Sully is of a rather convoluted nature, but I'd be more than willing to handhold you through the game-creation process if you want.

Arias, he's intrigued and willing to leran. Nothing more is required ;)

I don't think he is saying he has to have skills its just that if he does have skills people would be much more interested.
I mean if I see someone who is skilled at say art I would be more interested in them than I would be for someone who is skilled at design/coding because I am good at those things.
Not to say I wouldn't teach people (I was a tutor for several years) but you need to modivate people to be interested in you. (even like saying you want to learn a specific thing whould make people more interested)

Well, if you are interested in my skills. I don't really see myself has having any skills and don't want to start saying good things about me. It might be better to mention the skills people praise me about.

They say I'm good in art, including pixel art, although not as great as the professionnal work. They say I'm good at solving problems and general programming. For instance, what I lack in experience I make up with brilliance(Math teacher's words) They say I have great determination, I won't give up until I do it properly. They say I'm a fountain of imagination. I also have some experience in other game engines, like Rpg maker and O.H.R. etc. Seriously, I think the only thing i couldn't do if i made my own game would be the music... for now anyway... ;o)

If i have to say one thing about myself, just like that, i would say i know how to make a good game, actually making it is another matter which includes time and hard work.... lol

I would also like to meet with good pixel artists that could help me overcome some of the obstacles/questions i have on how to make my work better.

Oh, and i'm perfectionist, so hey that's why you never saw a game from me. :o) Someone less perfectionist would work well with me since we will nuance each other.

Edit : Hmmm, let make this clearer... lol I would probably be able to make the graphics to a game, help with storyline and later do some small scale programming. Here, much better then my hour long text.

I'm not the best pixel artist in Verge
I've heard you're quite good though... But the question is... will I ever find out for sure? ;)

...

Hello Syn, welcome to Verge. :)

Uh oh. Don't work too fast, or Alex will start expecting work from me too ;_;

Welcome Syn. I second arias' requests for samples!

Syn, those tiles and sprites are quite nice. You should be able to find a willing team easily.

If too much time goes on without you finding one, contact me.

OMG, you made the Tripod Anti-Link logo?! So YOU are the one we hate!

:D

Hopefully you're still viewing this thread. I asked Alex to check you out; he's the lead member for the Midsummer project.

How do I describe the Midsummer game?

Hm.

Quaint.


:) And Alex's style of development is really.. how should I say? Easy. :D.. We have a fantastic tracker Troupe on board, and a decent pixel artist (me). I could probably give you some pointers about pixeling faces and portraits; I did menu and speech portraits for Diver Down.

If you don't mind, you can check us out and post a mail to Alex.

Yes, this the wonderful website. I suggest bullying Alex to put he bleedin' content back up again. He has got a couple of good demos, just needs to get he freak back on.
