Brief Description:
I have been programming for 6 years mainly in PHP/MySQL and other web languages but also in Java/C++/C#. I have decided to move into iPhone Development and have created one Utility Application that has 6xxx downloads in the App Store and used that as a starter application to learn the ins and outs of submission. But, what I would really like to do is move on to game programming as I do in most languages I am learning. But, I realize that I do not have a creative bone in my body and thus would like to form a development team for the development of iPhone Games.

Target Aim:
For "Free" games, and advertisement shall be placed inside of the Application and we shall split the revenue from said advertisements. For "Paid" applications, we split all revenue made from sales of the applications.

Compensation:
My first thoughts are that we split all revenue from applications equally. There is no guarantee that adequate revenue shall be made so the amount of revenue purely depends on the quality of the game and quality of the marketing

Technology:
The target technology is the iPhone as well as possibly the iPod touch and the iPad. I own all needed technology to develop and publish the application (Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iPhone Developer Program, iPhone SDK, iPhone 3GS). So, the rest of the technology needed to do you part is purely up to you.

All games will be in 2D.

Talent Needed:

Artist - Games will be 2D and so will need objects/sprites, backgrounds, and menus.
Creative Director - Give concepts for new projects as well as establish gameplay mechanics and rules to the game.
Sound Composer - Create sounds for actions in games as well as background music and any other sounds needed for gameplay.

Team structure:
Me - Programmer
Jordan Curr - Graphic Artist
Tobias Rowe - Creative Director
Jacob Cattrall - Sound Composer

Website:
AppVee
IB Papers
Traffic Revenue
Youtube Crawler
Various other websites created while freelancing

iPhone Development:
ImageSafe is currently my only application in the App Store.
Another application that shall not be placed in the App Store. It is an MP3/Lyrics search engine that allows streaming of MP3s over the internet to the phone.

Additional Info:
My hope is that we shall get to work creating a quality game for the App Store as soon as possible. With the direction of our Creative Director. I hope we will be able to work together efficiently and each create something we will be proud of to be seen by thousands.

Feedback:
ANY

Hey, I am very interested in helping with your project.
I have taken school in digital animation, know my way around photoshop and 3d applications, and recently am in school for programing in c# specifically xna pipeline.

The classes I've taken have taught me 2d graphics/animation keyboard input and basic code. I;ve taught myself mouse control and a variety of other things not covered in my class. I am also in the process of learning java, I find its very similar to c# and quite easy to pick up on.

Any how I believe I could be an asset to your iphone design team
thanks,
Jordan

At the moment there is no decided project. I have a general type of game in mind, but I was really planning on the team getting together and discussing any ideas we may have about the type of game we'd like to create so we can form an idea we'd all enjoy working on.


I have also updated the member list to include the team's new graphic artist.

That was very strange. I was never sent an email regarding my PMs and it was showing up as "0 New Private Messages". I have sent you an email.
