Hello there

Recently (well for two years) i have been running a semie successfull indie game development company called Purple Face Games. I have been working with a very small team, the team consists of testers and im the one who makes the games. I have hiered some people on the boards in the past for freelance work but I'm looking for people now who are intrested in taking a chance and joining me in making games. Obviousley this is a strange request, but im looking for people who are very good at using FPSC and have tallents that lye in FPSC Scripting and even a 3d modeller or two. The reason i come here to look is becuase this board is full of really talented members who all have potential, and i firmly believe that a good team could release a successfull indie release on steam and other websites.

I am not making much money ( yes on the website it says subject 80 has sold 250000 units but thats just a marketing ploy and it has worked greatly, taking sales from zero to some!!!)

I am looking for people who want to create a game for the passion of creation and if we succeed in making money then they know that they will all recieve a salary. For the time being i want people who are intrested in forming a good crew to pump out and exellent product and recieve acclaim on our work so that we can attract buisiness. This is more for the people who are serious about being part of something and helping something grow. So obviousley the younger members need to hold back untill old enough. im looking for anyone who is trulley intrested in making a tight team and fleshing out my company, im not looking for people who expect things to move fast and think they will make a quick buck of my back. this is about creating something and being part of something, once all of those things gell, i dont think we will have to worry about money becuase people buy stuff that they want, stuff thats well made, games that are fun. thats our number one objective.

For serious enquieries about this please feel free to email me @ [email protected] obviousley i will also answer any questions and disccusions on the thread but for private questions feel free to drop me an email.

Positions I am looking for:

I think a small group of 10 people should do just fine, but any ammount below is defently a start. all people who are intrested should have a full legal copy of fpsc and most of the model packs. they must be mature and open minded. besides from the obviouse i would like people of quality, not just in their developing skills but also in character. i can think of a few people in mind but i will let them come foreward if intrested. Skype is a must. thats how we will comunicate. also mediafire accounts aswell, for transfering of fpi and fpm files.

I need level designers ( Basic outlay of a level)

I need enviormental artists (people who put the nice finishing touches and details on levels)

scripters (fpsc and dark basic if possible)

UI specialists (people who know what goes where when it comes to a hud)

Modellers (people who can make assets for the games, animation as well)

I hope that is a clear proposal and before any flaming goes on, i am very much aware that some people may find this silly, but im sure every one here has or is dreaming of one day being in the games bizz. We all have to start somewhere, and funnily enough, Money isnt always a sideeffect of hard work, alot of factors are at stake when running a buisiness, so dont expect me to make miricles, im just trying my best and i expect the same from everyone else.

Thanks

Please comment

p.s

Our website so you guys know what we are doing and how we are doing it. http://purplefacegames.com/

Just don't do that again, please



No, you have been running a homepage where you are presenting games you have been working on with some friends. Thats a very big difference that should be clear in such a request thread.
I'm not flaming you...it just takes a lot to call something a "company".

Best luck to you and your search.

We have succeeded in making a small living off our games. I say semie successfull becuase successfull would be a well known game with a large following and a metacritic score

plus we are a registered privatley held limited company in the uk with a VAT number...... A COMPANY WE ARE!

As too am I ^^

you might want to add web developer to that list as your website... bleeds my eyes...

UK? cool where are you based?

also I am concerned this thread will be locked, so best of luck

Bleeds your eyes? It was like that was a shot at me but at the same time a compliment? i have you know that is some classy webcoding. granted some of it could use work but i have seen worse

i must say why is it that this community has turned into a bunch flaming internet gangsters? Can we just have some adult like interactions without jabbing eachothers works be it games or life. jeez

Hi are your sure this is a registered limited company in the UK? A quick search will prove that it is.

If I search for your company PURPLE FACE GAMES it is not listed, but if I search The Game Creators they show up.

If you don't believe please check yourself.

criticism...

I can not figure out what is content and what is gibberish... I refuse to even figure out what is what from what...

also you might want to show your 'Business Credentials' on your site, see mine for an example

im not hitting you down just giving my view and some sense of direction of where your priorities should lie...

If you need any more feedback just ask I am always happy to help fellow TGC devs.

I am a sole trader

EDIT

The above was coded out as it was a browser issue made a double post...

EDIT

Deathcow posted while I was typing...

Might show why you have not presented that data...

EDIT

IE is crashing due to some reason with the forum... I am guessing an ad... ignore this half double post...

Ah ok Then your not a limited company then.

DC

Why lie then?

So everyone is bitching over a limited status? Privatley held company is another word for non floated, meaning i dont trade on the stock market. If all this critique is just becuase im not a reigistered company then god forbid ill get streight on at spending my £25 at making you all happy! becuase thats how much it costs to regsiter with company house through your bank when they give you a buisiness account. I will form my company into limited status so thats why i say it, everytime i think of sole trader, i think of a handy man or summing

its not about you not being registered, its about you lying to us...

nothing wrong with thinking that way... just don't lie... would be fine if you explained this earlier...

anyhow lets get back on topic...

start again, what are you and what are you looking for

aww did i hurt your feelings? Man some people.

i did not lie, i just explained why i said what i said. in my mind i dont need to be reigistered to think of my self as a privatley held compmany. i dont need to justify my wording to anyone. this thread is not about that, if you are just here to be like that, then please leave.

A limited company in the UK does not have to be floated on the stock market. The status of your business does matter and will mislead people to think they are dealing with a much bigger company. Even if you are asking for free help.

how does paying an £18 fee and regsitering with company house mislead people into thinking im bigger? Does that little 18 pound fee and regsistration number make my company more successfull? No it does not. The regsirtation of my company with company house does not impact my buisiness of making games at all, be it positive or negative.

ANYONE can add their buisiness to company house.


Case dismissed
