Hi again. I made a team but I didn't see a tab or anything that said 'get people on your team' or something like that. So how do i ask someone to join my team?

Interesting. Yeah, I asked two of my friends if they wanted to make a video game with me and they were interested so I sent them the links to this website so they could check it out, make an account, and we could make a game. I myself am working on a game alone and I'm halfway done with the maps, and have barely worked on the characters. But I have no idea how they would be able to join my team. Also, can you please explain to me how the entire team thing works?

Oh...So you can't make a game with friends or anything unless you are all at the same computer at the same time? Then how did you guys all work on Sully? Also, whenever I actually "create" a team, when I turn my computer on again, the "team" is not saved. But if I were to create a website for my "team", then wouldn't we be able to exchange ideas through that? Because I think I could use wikispaces or write my own HTML to do so.

A wiki is a great way to keep your ideas organized!

As far as working on the game together, you'll have to figure out some way of sharing the files among the computers that you're working on. This can be as simple as sending them to each other via email, or uploading files to a shared FTP or something. You'll probably want one person in charge of getting everyone's changes working together, which can be annoying but is very important. If you don't have more than one person working heavily in each area (for example, if you've got one person writing code, one person doing story development, and one person doing art, and you don't stray into each others' territory too much), you might be able to get away with this without too much trouble.

If you think you'll end up stepping on each others' toes, though, it's probably best to figure out some sort of real version control system. This means having a server somewhere that is running software that keeps track of your files for you, and everyone in your project can get or modify the files as needed. This gets a lot more complicated; if you're just starting out and think you can manage without it, it might make your lives a little simpler to just ignore this for now.

Of course, if you already know how to use Subversion, git, or Mercurial, you're ahead of the game and should just use your favorite one of those. :)

Good luck with the game! Make sure to post screenshots or demos when you've got something to show off. :)

I'd love to check it out, M_Dragon, but you made the wiki private, so I can't see it without being part of your team. ;)

When you've got a few things you really want to show off, I very much encourage you to put some in a public place and post them here on the forums though. Don't worry about it right away, though, just work on the game! :D

Good luck to you and the rest of your team.
