There's a few problems with alot of teams based around here that I can think of.. one is that most are programmers.. not all but most so it's hard work finding anyone to help in the other areas that are competant, another is that you generally end up with a couple of do-ers and the rest end up chating lots and achieving nothing or just not actually taking part that much, certainly not enough to get anything done, it's seems everyone or the majority want to be the CEO and take charge of things when clearly they are not up to the challenge, quite why such a possition is needed in a hobby based activity is beyond me!!
, there are more problems with team forming but I'm not really that negative(honest)
.
If you can get a team together that works well and more importantly hard then you will be doing very well.
I know what you mean about the tasks growing though, I'm still making Cluckie Egg which was meant for the retro competition, I end up having a massive game making fest then lose motivation after I think of another 100 things I should be adding into the game and then get going again a week or 2 down the line.. I'm horribly bad at guageing the time it takes to complete a section of the game too, things seems to always take at least double what you first generously give!.
The times I think if only I had another (Better) programmer and texturer or all round artist guy etc.. it's definately harder these days to finish things on your own if your trying to cope with it all, it can be done, don;t get me wrong, but by few people I should imagine.
Anyway apart from all that gumph and genarlly poor information I just wrote.. , if you need someone to boost moral than free to let me know here if I'm wanted and I'll pass on my contact details, I don't really know where I could help as I can do various bits and pieces but nothing really well.. but I do have persistence especially when working with others, we can always have a word or two and see how it goes... x-d
