It makes a lot of Sense LOL
why should a bunch of developers and modellers come running when some says they're needed? I'm a developer... Quite content.. why should I stop doing what I'm doing to help this person or that? What's in it for me?
Sound Selfish? Let's look at it another way....
Here you are... big game idea, and you could probably bring this vision to reality if you only could get some help! The question is, what can I do to "WOO" and interest developers and modeler's to stop what they're doing and help me? Can I offer Fame? Money? Does my idea look good enough and have enough "appeal" to get them to jump on the bandwagon at their own risk because I don't have money or real ability to promise fame? Do I have something I can trade?
There is a modeller on here I helped big time with some coding.. and you know what? If I REALLY need a model made, I can call him on that favor and I know from our discussions he would drop everything to help me out! How Cool is that?
did I only help him in exchange for a favor? No.. could have.. no shame in that... but back to the "Philosophy" stated above.. It wasn't what he could do for me, it was what I could do for him... and I know I can ask a favor just because I was thinking along those lines - of helping others... not because I get something... but chances are.. if you help a lot of people... and then need a favor... someone will step up and help.
So regardless how you look at it... (and spin it) that philosophy holds true! LOL
