Quote: "I am assuming josh is the artist? that will be interesting!"
No pigeon holing! We both have a wide range of skills, so I think we'll both be working on various areas, but yeah, Josh will take the lead on art.

Noted mate. Cheers for that.

No way man. I'm there. I love food that smells worse than my feet, and I feel you are the only man who can supply me with such delicacies.
Quote: "Even though you say you can't find anyone you already know, I reckon ultimately you need to do this with people you already know (or knew). They need to be people you already trust (and whom trust you) and you need a dynamic where you can be brutally honest to each other (something which is difficult to do with people you haven't known long). "
Normally I would agree here, but Josh and I seem to be on the same wavelength, and both seem to be good at taking criticism and being flexible. We'll see if the brutal honesty works!
Quote: "Any people you graduated with worth getting in touch with?"
Unfortunately not. Nobody was really into game design in my degree (it wasn't straight out computer science). I've always been a solo game developer. Mates I know personally really would've been a no brainer.

Why you!!!! You know I meant all of them suck in equal measure, those pathetic sponging losers!!
Quote: "Oh yeah, real comforting."
Yeah, I picked up on that too. Thanks Comet for the vote of confidence. Remind me to definitely think about maybe sending you a Christmas card perhaps.
Quote: "Why don't you elaborate on your plans and your game idea.
Or better yet: What kind of people are you looking for? What part do you want to take over in your team? (by "kind of people" I mean: 3D Modelartist, Coder, Texture artist, concept designer etc.)"
When I posted this, I didn't have a specific game idea. It really wasn't a team request. It was more of a cry for help saying "LOOK! I have this time, I have this experience, I have what I think is a pretty strong ability, and I have this desire to work with someone in the same position ..... how do I find them?" But yeah, I was hoping someone on this forum with some decent ability might say "ME!" and they did.
An artist is the most yin to my yang, but I would've been interested to work with anyone who could work full time (or close to). That's the key.
As for marketing, that's on our "jobs/responsibilities" list and something we really have to look into. I'll take a look at your work btw mate.
