Joshua Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Ok, So normally I'd just go at this upcoming project alone. I havent set anything in stone as of yet, just been tossing a few ideas around. Havent even decided which engine I'm going to use to create this project. What I do know, and What I will be putting into this project. PhP/MySQL/XHTML/**Some CSS**/**Some JScript**--Learning Ajax/JQuery + furthering my php/mysql knowledge. **Some Investment Money as Well as possibly either doing the layout myself or grabbing one** What I would Most Prefer is someone with average to above average programming skills and OR Design Skills. A bit of marketing talent would be nice as I'm no where near an expert on the subject. I've spent the past 6 months floating over a few various ideas and the pro's and cons of said ideas. ((Not listing Ideas for fear of someone stealing one ;) )) Right now, I'm just throwing this out there to see who's busy doing what, and who may or may not be interested in a project. I'm thinking a 40/40 split and the other 20+ going to server costs/upgrades/advertising. This will not be an overnight project. It may take as little as 6 months with 2 programmers working diligently on it. However, I feel that with the right ideas, the right API facebook usage, and marketing the upcoming project will be a huge success. More to come, it's late, just wanted to get this thread started.

sniko Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Heya, Im just curious, is the project a game? or a social network site? or what? I may be interested if my skills qualify. -sniko [notice]MSN: [email protected][/notice] Quote
Paul Evans Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Good luck with your future project, i would also love to see what kind of project you'd be doing. Quote
Joshua Posted August 16, 2010 Author Posted August 16, 2010 The problem with my personality sniko is my brain is always running. I've put some thought into a social networking site, but I watch them time and time again tire out. Plus while my programming skills have vastly improved in the past 2 years, I dont feel I could even come close to competing with sites such as facebook/myspace etc. I would like to make a large game outside the box of the normal day to day games we all see. Some scripts alone would probably take 2-4 weeks for myself to program as they will be nowhere near what you usually see "crimes/gym" blah blah. I may pick up where I left off on the new engine I was working on and use that, perhaps add an installer once its been checked and re-distribute it as well. ---------- To not go to much further in-depth with this, I was planning on taking extreme advantage of facebooks API feature, and a few side projects i was freelancing after I got mccoded out and using them to generate a business.

Djkanna Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 More info, more info please! Right now what you've given us hasn't even made me think about PM-ing you, and trust me when it comes to the slight chance of earning $$$ I'm easily pleased. More in-depth detail, I understand people robbing your idea's but all we've gained from you is; "Outside the box" - Like we've not heard that one before. "Facebooks API" - Could mean anything, being able to sign into this game via Facebook, the game is a Facebook App, Being able to share what you've done within the game with your Facebook friends. Really not a lot to go on. Quote

Joshua Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Details have been let known to a few people. Sorry for the utmost secrecy, but at the moment I don't feel like talking much about the ideas in general public for fear someone may beat me to the punch :P Quote
