FREE Silly Stones: A Community Project

[FralKritic]

Hey fellow content creators! We come to you guys with an amazing community project, that we'd love you to be apart of!

Engine:

RPG MAKER MV​

Synopsis:
(IN DEVELOPMENT STAGE | SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

Silly Stones is a game about seven extremely strong stones, that a young boy must recover to be release from the prison in his mind. He must go through seven different dimentions to recover these stones, each highly different from the first.​

Positions/Roles Needed:

Secretary Admin
PG Team Admin
Beta Test Team
Game Program Team​

My Role(s)/Position(s):

I will be on the Game Program Team, while serving as an executive moderator with @SmashArtist @TheMutantSpaceDancer @fimamati ​

Who is this project for?
RPG Maker MV users who are just starting out, as well as those advanced in RPG Maker, who are looking to work on a fun project with a team and record it in their portfolio for others to see and enjoy! Let this project motivate you to your next personal or group project! When a new user doesn't know how to do something, an advanced user would be able to give pointers and guide the user, which would allow the new user to progress faster.

We are currently tying up loose ends with this idea, so far we are aware that we will need:
Secretary Admin - For scheduling, deadline enforcement, and record validating. (Preferably 1 Admin, with 2 assistants)
PG Team Admin - For Reviewing uploads for not safe for work content. Three admins should do this for accuracy. (Preferably 3 Admins)
Beta Test Team - For sniffing out bugs and documenting them or fixing them directly, which should also be documented. (Preferably 4 Admins; 1 Lead Beta Tester, 3 Validation Beta Testers)

We are still assessing these needs and will discuss it further soon.

Then, of course, the main team working on game development and execution! This team is the biggest team.
Will call this team, for now, Game Program Team; this team is responsible for adding into the game, adding levels, dialog, story, and more! This team is the meat of the team!

We will discuss more in the very close future, till then please enjoy the test project we created and sign up in advance if you are interested in joining using this formation.

Damn.

 

[TheMutantSpaceDancer]

it's a shame really, this is a pretty cool idea

If you are interested @GameMaster, me and TheMutantSpaceDancer were planning on making a game together instead, if you are interested feel free to PM us.

You really haven't provided much information about the game/project. Your synopsis is 2 sentences that are pretty generic - hero has to collect X number of item Y. There's nothing there to entice people to work on the game. The rules/guidelines thread states that your synopsis should be at least 350 words.

You have 29 posts on this forum. What is your experience in making games? Have you made/completed any games? Have you worked on other people's games? Are you the "ideas" person but want others to actually create it for you?

You need to make people WANT to work on this game, and you need to give them the confidence that you'll be pulling your weight and keeping everyone on track (and it seems that's a role you're wanting someone else to fill?)

Maybe have a look through some of the project threads that have received a lot of interest and that are running well (the two are not the same) and see how they got started. I'll bet they provided a lot more info about the game and the roles. You might be able to adjust your post to make it more appealing.

@Shaz, thanks for your suggestions! I find that perhaps there could have been more details given, but overall the way this project turned makes it hard to write an actual synopsis for the game as it is mostly community run.
I'm thinking that I may want to revamp this idea since I started it and perhaps go for something more to what I was planning. But the whole thing got a bit unsure and confused through multiple ideas and waiting for approval by the admins to be allowed to post this idea.
Thanks so much for your suggestions! I realize that we may have been preemptively cutting the project off as well as not being very specific or clear to what we were hoping to accomplish, so I'll get to discussing it with the team!

Seriously thanks, your comment made me realize how easily I was falling away from the idea of the project, I'll make sure to think and plan it through as well as test it with some peers before starting off too early.
