Number 2 is a bit hash ain't it?

There are many DB companies that make games, they may not be true registered companies but what difference does it make?

I thinking more along the lines of...

1) You must have at least something to show that you are accully making this game rather than some kid who has a "great idea"

2) No "I need a modeler for an RPG, thanx, bye". You must Tell us about the project, like how much of it is complete, what kind of game is it, what kinda of style does it follow, ect...

3) No massivly big projects. If you are serious about making a nonliner MMORPG with 7 different planets, go get professional coders, modelers, composers. ect... Thier is no one here who has that much time to put into a project that'll probable end up in the trash.

Hey! I actually do have a company... or will have one in less then 60 days =) Name is registered though. Keeping companies out of that board is really silly.

Simple rules I think should be used:
1 DB/DBP must be used by the team in the project announced for.

2 Proof of a started project: Working prototype, models/art or massive discription with gameplay, story and loads of concept art.

3 Proper job description: What are you looking for and what exactly will they do.

Well 2 is still stupid.

Who cares if you are in a company or not as long as you use DB/DBPro or a related DBS product (3DGM etc).

I worked for a company but i still needed to ask for people to join up - although the company fell apart due to unexpcted events.

But i did it properly, i had tech demo's, a vauge plot (as i made it so that people joining could have a say to make it better/feasable to make) and a set of rules regarding the working of the group.

if you a noob that has no ider what your doing then it will show up in the post and you can`t post as a company.

WRONG

Who cares? Everyone comes here with the expectation of making the next big game, to do this you have to learn how to program. The best way to do this is to get together with a few peep's make a name/comapany and learn.

I would like to know what Rich thinks about this topic, i am sure he would agree that posting new comanies without giving much though to it can waste time, but peolpe learn by their mistakes. There have been loads of posts that have not had much though put into them, and they have been told how to go about planning a game correctly.

I see nothing wrong with the current system and cannot belive that i have just wasted 5 mins writing this post

I really think you should differ companies from teams. A company is defined by the fact that it is registered as such. Everything else are just teams or groups or whatever they like to call themseleves.

Personally, I think companies aren't the problem, it's people who have no clue are the problem. If some noob is hidding behind a fake company, He'll get spotted for what he is. Even if the are part of a real company, do think it'll last long if they can't show some repect to those they are asking help from? Lets leave it as is, natural selection. Those who can't handle it, get eaten alive.

OK- Im one of those physco people in the TR forum, so I really wanna have a say in this:

1) Request a team for DB DANGIT!!! Stop coming here for C++ coders/projects! HONESTLY!! This is a D-A-R-K B-A-S-I-C website, wheres C++ in there?

2) Please, oh please have some work first! Honestly, we get posts ALL the time saying 'Hey I got this idea and I need a team so lets go go go go make my idea now! BTW, I got DB yesterday when I had my idea, hope that doesnt effect anything. Wait, whats print do again?"

3) Have some idea what you are doing in the first place. We get people coming and saying "Hey, I need a team. We need (lists members) and you might get payed!" Give some info, like "We are making an RPG, its all planned out on paper, here are some pics of our concept work, and a few basic documents describing gameplay and such" Ahhh, how nice it would be if more posts were like that

4) Please, use DB for more than a week before requesting a team. OK, you did the hello world tutorial, your still not a DB pro yet, sorry Practice, practice practice! Seriously, it pays off! You know, theres a command list with syntax + discription for a reason

Lol, if everyone followed these rules I think that forum would only have like 4 threads in it :p

Ok, nobody can seem to agree about the whole companies thing. I say that we don't respond to anybody that doesn't use DB/P. If some "company" or "team" just comes here looking for some artist then we should just leave their post unanswered. That would show them that we have no interest in their company.

However, if they are a DB team/company, we should be free to reply to them.

And "Team Request" should at least be backed by something (a storyboard, basic engine, some graphics, etc., just not nothing).

And if the person requesting the team isn't qualified enough (doesn't have much skill), they have no place in making such a request. If the requesty has no intention of beeing the lead programmer or artist, they should join a team, not make one.

It bareable, better than most people I know, lol. Hell, I have to proof read my own posts twice, and it still have mistakes. I understand that a number of people don't speak English as thier first language here. If anyone can't handle that, they can go lick a fence post.

What's the fuss about? It's pretty easy to recognise that:

hi, i r writting an mmorg, I need a team, programmer, modeller, muscician, story writer thingy and a kick arse game. it got a gr8 battle system in it and it good game. cant give u money but will make loads and you get paid then.

This sample was brought to you by stereotype(tm) inc. and is the result of over-use of the copy/paste feature.

It is clear that this example would not generate a team, why? Because the ony people dumb enough to join a team request like that is also making an mmorg and "i r needz a team".

Let the infidels bread with each other is what I say, honestly I find those sort of requests amusing and the sarcasm that results - hillarious. Sorry sMs, but I count you in that category too, infact I recently added an extremely thinly disguised sarcastic post to the very thread you where being paranoid about - sorry, but you are nothing but a toy now...
