ok so i want this to be like a "kickstarter" for game devs but
instead of money people can contribute their time and skills and
in the end they will get a percentage of sales from the game....
this is only meant to be something you do on your free time....
and please keep proof of your work so that no one can scam
you.... ty

Hello, i am interested in this project and i want to join. The
only experience i have is Unreal Engine 4 which i have a bit of
work on(im not very experienced since i got it a short time ago)
and i also know a bit of C programming. In about 4 months i
should be experienced enough to help you with this. I think
thats when we should start doing the game because there's a lot
of planning to do. Like someone needs to write in the story word
by word and every sidequest (This will probably take over 50
pages). Then we need to get a lot of people to join us because
we need a minimum of 10 programmers if you want to do this type
of game. also don't just get random people of the internet to
help you. Make sure you have a good and reliable time to work
with. This game is a pretty big ambition. Its probably gonna
take years. And you're gonna need money to hire people(most free
developers are okay but don't have enough experience for a big
game like this).You also need to make sure of who does what and
when you need it to be done. Like, don't tell people they can
take their time because then the game will take forever to
make.You also need to arrange your team. We need a minimum of 10
programmers, 10 character designers and animators and we need
over 15 people to make the environment if its open world. Even
with this many people it will take years since this is the
minimum. AND NEVER EVER EVER give up on this project since
people are gonna be pissed if you stop half way through. finally
What do you think you are going to do? Program, Design,Etc. If
you are just going to direct it( Say what goes into the game and
all the sidequest and story and shit) you need someone to help
you plan out the game and see what ideas are good to execute in
a game and which are not. This seems like an overly ambitious
game. Is this your first one? What experience do you have? Can i
join? and also if this is your dream game treat it with
seriousness. Id suggest you gather people(good developers) tell
them your ideas then work on a small demo/prototype to see what
we can make and what we cannot then showing it to an audience
and open up a Kickstarter and asking for a large amount of
money to 1.Pay developers who are helping you 2. Afford very
good publishing and marketing so the game will sell and get
noticed 3. Build a powerful computer. Finally, what engine is
it on? Unreal? Unity? or from scratch?( which will take twice
the time). I would like to be a part of this and help out i hope
you read this if not i just wasted 15 minutes of my life.

well you are more than free to join but currently i don't have
enough people to start... but i do have a story (writing is my
main area).... however i'm working on a small area just to demo
to get more people involved and right now i'm working with
Unreal Engine 4 but i am waiting to see what source 2 can offer
or the new unity engine coming out soon... i am aware that i'll
have to hire a small group of people to work full time so this
week i had to put everything on pause and go out to reg a
business....
