Hey guys, As the title says I'm either looking to join an existing team or to start one up. If I was to join a team I would rather it be somewhat smaller. Also I realitivley new to game development but not a total beginer so keep that in mind. I would mostley join a team to learn new things and maybe new api's and what not. On the other hand if I get enough responses to make a team I have few projects in mind. Now before all you think I have no experiance and just want to do something. I will tell you my experiance as a (game) programmer. - I have had years of experiance in C/C++ and about a year in C#, so I know them for the most part. - I'm use to working in teams and have good leadership ablities. - I'm a seasoned gamer and know whats out there. - I know SDL and a few of the expansion libraries such as SDL_Image and SDL_ttf - Have taken (and for the most part understand) Calc 1-3 and linear algebra in college. - Know UML, XML and general design techniques. - Currently learning OpenGL to learn the basics of 3D programming. While I've messed arround a lot this game demo seem to be the only thing worth showing. It is a small tile based game that loads from a few xml files then you can run arround on the map and it has collision detection (very basic). Read the instructions on the linked page (2nd topic) to get it running, you really just need .Net and a few SDL libraries. I've really been want to make an full fledged rpg in the style of the older Final Fantasy (pre FF6). I was thinking it would be nice to have it in a top down view like FF's but also make it 3D so you could do some interesting effects and what not. But I'm not limited to this idea if you think your project might interest me. Anyways so if anyone is interested, message me back here or on AIM:Seoushisan.

Are you familiar with Unreal Scripting (UT2003/4...)? Not my expert field but i think its a mix of Java and C++.
Anyway our team only has one coder that's also the mod leader, a hell of a good one i must say :). If you're interested, check our recruitment thread:

Update:

Ok I got a lot of responses on this and it seems that the exisiting projects that have contacted me don't have the work that I want to do, so I am taking it upon myself to create a team.


Team name:
To be decided

Project name:
n/a

Brief description:
I'm looking for a few people to create a team. My idea is for a simple 3d rpg, top-down view. This will mostley be a learning experiance for me and the people that wish to join.

Target aim:
Freeware and if everyone agrees I would like it to be opensource.

Compensation:
Learning game development and credit for your work.

Technology:
Preferably C++ with OpenGL and SDL.

Talent needed:
One or possibly two programmers (I am one myself). Artists for texture and 3D modeling work(already have one 3d modeler onboard). Someone that could create some rpg music and sound effects(perferabley ogg or mp3 format). Also need someone for a storyboard. Beginers are welcome, we are here to learn after all.

Team structure:
Like I've stated I'm a programmer, I have a fair knowledge in C++ and SDL, I am currently working on learning OpenGL for this project. I will setup a website shortly with a forum and all the goodies.

Website:
Currently don't have one but I will probley base it off my template from my last project ( Here ).

Contacts:
You can contact me here or through my email (sean.chapel(at)utah.edu) or on AIM: Seoushisan.

Additional Info:
The project will start in two weeks (after finals for me). Right now I'm looking to gathering people that are interested in this project. If your interested contact me and tell me what you've done, what you know, what you want to do and what you would like to see out of this project.

how about an existing 3D RPG?
we are a really small team (2 people, 1 programmer and 1 all-around artist -me)

we're using the Nebula2 engine and we have an early alpha demo.
more info at our website
if you need any more details I'm willing to tell you of course

That looks like a nice project but I personaly am looking to do/learn some OpenGL programming and it looks like you already have a nice graphics engine.. Unless someone has a graphics programming job I am sticking to making this team.

I have gotten a lot of replies pertaining to the creation of this team, thanks everyone. Now that I feel there will be enough interest to make the game please come visit my forum I setup Here .

So far I have had the interest of 3 artists, 2 programmers, 1 composer and a few other talents. if you think you can contribute please come to the forum and share your ideas.
