This forums here from Epic are already to look for people and to offer youre services. There is also a sticky template to provice the basic information, if people would just use it. I really don’t see a point why this posting within these forums would be helpfull for this.
But I do see that there are lots of problems getting a successfull and productive indie team together.
Or rather such topics aside of “look for” and “offer” (which have their sub-forums here) should better go in the general co-work thread above these 2 that was closed some months ago.
And it could be renamed accodingly, like “Cooperation and jobs ads”. The discussion about cooperation topics should be seperate from the concrete job ads to keep them organised.
So the better forum structure could be:
Cooperation and jobs ads: here general cooperation topics, like version control, assets handling, coop-tools like Jira, team-organisation, GDD…
> Job Ads: Offers paid only
> Job Ads: Offers (anything else than concrete paid like royalties and such)
> Skill Ads: offering services concrete paid only
> Skill Ads: offering service (anything else than concrete paid like royalties and such)
Hi guys - I started planning for a project in the area of survival games. That is where my passion has been for quite a while, being a fan of 7 Days to Die and ARK.
I’m more experienced as a web developer and I know how powerful a good tool can be to accomplish something. That’s why I’m currently working on a tool with the idea of keeping track of people, their skills, the projects they work on and so on - kinda a developer and project management tool. I think that can really help getting and keeping in touch with each other’s abilities and current areas of interest.
I’m also running a TS3 server, which is far superior to Skype IMO - just the other weekend I spoke to a friend, and we had huge connection problems, which I never experienced with TS even when people were located in different continents.
I run all this on my own dedicated server hardware with dual-CPUs (E5 2620v3) and Ubuntu with KVM virtualization - so any of you who would need a virtualized environment for testing a client-server game project, we can talk about that too.
Well, i try to centralise and make it more easy for people alone to join a team (Epic forum do that allready)
Also solo people can offer their skills for free and in return get some tasks done for free as well.
Same thing for the teams who work in their corner, sometimes they are stuck or loose to much time to develop their game because they dont have external help.
It’s a exchange of services or barter to help each other to release game faster.
And you did you find a team to work with or you work alone in your corner ?
If you are alone, fill the form and join the movement !
To Sayato: I offer my skills in the Epic Forum LFW here and get requests and jobs from that.
The whole seek/offer/exchange help or services can be done within the existing forums, if people would only use them right, like with the provided templates. If one does not care to provide or respect the templates here, then i doubt he/she will take the time to fill out youre form.
Only AdamF for the moment, you can see the list of members in the 1st post.
6 People in the Skype Channel, i wait they fill the form.
It’s not a long form to fill, and it will show motivated people who wanna join.
It will work or not, i honestely dont know, i have nothing to earn from this, i just hope people will be smart and work together to achieve their projects faster.
