Team name: not yet needed... Project name: We will discuss it much later! Brief description: First we will create a game engine, until we have enough features. For this project we will for the first game engine project ever show how we are reasoning! This is sad: how many math books or any other education books do the author show how he/she reasoned? It's the most valuable thing to show when teaching advanced concepts. I even quitted school because of this, so I will have a lot of time! I cannot be specific at all about the game project, because it is more a system of algorithms... It will be a world full of intelligent & interesting beings that is able to interact with every other object in the game, & there will of course be a goal & big challanges in the game, but this goal can change after every re-generation of the world, as will be generated by an algorithm I have in my head... When I have described that algorithm for you, & the possabilities of it, you will understand more what the game is about. It will be a world where mechanical wonders is everywhere, & magic isn't even needed as an extra "magical feeling". & you are able to participate in building your own things... It will have the feature <to be able to evolve your character>, that is always a motivation: <to be able to become better>! & we will let the user use its creativity to solve the huge variety of problems in the game. We will focus at: *great interaction! *creating most arts algoritmically! *the new hardware! *A.I & "creative" NPC's! *building our own technology! *movability of creatures! (simulated torque) It will be an algorithmically challange for us! & I have some groundbreaking ways of dealing with it! I'm just sharing the abstract structure of the game, but I want someone to discuss it more specific. & I'm flexible for taking in new views & ideas! Because creating an engine for a 3D world that one can interact very much in, can easily be changed into any other applications that we want to develop. Target aim: For the game project: For people that loves to enter a new very interesting world, & to be able to interact in interesting ways. For the engine: To share knowledge that was pretty hard to get. Compensation: We need to produce in order to earn anything. We will use a new currency: As 1 team we may earn 1 sum of money. But inside the team it's first splitted up equally, then we can reward eachother with gifts for their hard work & support! That will work because in the end we will know eachother well & know how to share nicely! Technology: Operating system: As many as possible, I'm right now on win32. Tools: *C++ *My physics engine that is being developed (it will be able to optimized simulate creatures movement, that no earlier engines can [from what I know]). *The best tools that we can find, I want help because I always want to find the smartest ways of creating things. *The first thing we should find/create is a software to make cooperative creativity easier, like making our plans clear, I haven't found any yet... Talent needed: Human being with well developed reasoning skills needed! (needed everywhere in this confused world now adays...) But I will teach you how to reason better, so if you aren't sure if you have great reasoning skills: contact me also if you have good experience in C++, & that you have a great experience in a wide area of programming, & a great motivation for becoming a better (or the best! that seem to be a naive motiavation, but its a great one! keep it up!) programmer! & it whould be good that you feel that you can create almost anything -- just that time is needed. Team structure: Only me: I have been dealing with very complex projects, that have changed the way I think. I have been trying to apply my reasoning skills to the troubeled world & a lot weird projects, but I'm right now lacking external stimulus (I'm just thinking all the time), & that is not good for my motivation... But I think that when we start to discuss how we will finish the projects, I will be more happy, I love cooperative creativity! I'm a good game-designer because of my understanding of psychology & my way of reasoning. I did an attempt to write a book about game-design & psychology, that discusses entertainment & education. But it remained as an rater short evaluation of my psychological skills applied to game-design... But why not create a game that shows how psychology should be applied instead!? But that is not my only skill to be able to say that I'm a serious game creator. I have been developing my own physics engine & a theoretical graphics engine, without reading books -- I like to develop my reasoning skills. & applying my reasoning to as many different subjects as possible! ... & I have earned a better understanding by doing so. Now I do just want to rest from the complexities of doing everything on my own, & to get some nice external stimulus! I'm the organizer, & the first teacher of this team, we will all share our wisdom, but my wisdom is very abstract, & an organizer should always have its knowledge in that domain. But just trust that I have an organizing power & contact me, only by comunication I can find if I got the right understanding of homo-sapiens potential, as I believe is much higher than we have seen. But don't be afraid that I'm some mad scientist/psychologist that will make some weird experiments on you -- I just want to help you all!
