I've been thinking about this idea for sometime now, so I wanted to share it with all of you. Most zune games only keep my attention for a little under five minutes with the exception of some. But what if we could extend these game lengths and make zune games an awesome experience. This may not be the right time for this though, with zHD coming out, it's just a thought. We have great games like Suicide Squad and Valgards Fate, but those were both made by one person. If we could get a whole team of programmers, coders, testers and storyliners we could make great games. Games could become awesome and have a story, fighting, and more. So who's up for it?

If you would like to join me please p.m. me for anything.

How do you propose such tight collaboration over an internet forum?

People work together over the internet all the time.

I actually have successfully create an XBLCG game with a guy from Louisiana (Twanks on this forum) without ever having met in person.

I think the problem is time.. most people make games in their spare time, and having a team makes it seem like too much work. I know I'm not interested.

We kinda had a team before, but most developers like Tiptup (not the only one) found that it wasn't that close knit of a team like expected

With summer coming up I thought that people would have more time. But I don't know what you people do so...

I used to belong to a forum called BZPower, and they made games there too. Although they were for the computer some of them turned out great. They had a team of developers and it seemed pretty much like they were close.

But it's up to you guys if you want to do this or not.

Jesus Christ. o.o I was on that site when I was 12 or so. Must not have been around when that was going on.

As for the topic, moved to Dev Discussions, more fitting.

Is it just me or...has that site literally not changed in 6 years? ._. I honestly can't tell the difference.

And yes, /threadhijacked.

i wish i could have more people helping me with zunetools, to be honest, i wanted that to at least be a project i could work with someone else on, ive always wanted to create something with somebody. so just saying if any programmers want to try to partner up i would love to have a partner on zunetools.

also this may be a tad off subject, would i be able to use ZuneBoards in my application name? i want to make it "official ZuneBoards application". or would i have to use Unofficial?
