Hi,
Haven't posted here in a while,
well, I just got the debkit and the apple developers license, so I'm ready to roll in and make some Hardcore Ipod Touch and Iphone Games. I'm very interested in doing a collaboration with some of the users here.

This Collab will be made entirely from scratch.
I need game writers, voice actors, game testers and animators/Graphic Artists.
I will be the coder and debugger for this project, as I doubt many users here know Objective C, let alone enough of it to help debug a game or develop one.

Now,
as for pay,
You all will get some percentage of the pay within the first six months of release,
thereafter, all you will get is honorable mention in the credits
Unless you are a tester, which will be explained soon enough
Animators make and split an 20% profit for their works.
Voice actors make and split 15%.
Writers Split 10%
And Game testers each individually get a part of the game where they will have a certain character with their name or something of the sort.
Of course, they also get to play the game early.

Ok, as for the game,
I want a simple platformer,
no animated cutscenes,
and that's really it,
you guys can build off of that.
Create a story,
Gimme something to jump off of,
GO!

Oh,
and I will be posting contributing members..............

this is going to be your testing area,
as I will be converting all my app to this program.

Your main job is to test for physics

EDIT: ALL TESTERS DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM www.gamesalad.com, as this is your source for testing,
if you move anything I worked on,
you will be removed from the team.

EDIT:
Once we get some story and concept of what our hero should look like, we will begin designing and working out the engine,

Thanks to all you guys who want to help and is helping,
you guys are great!

did you know you can also make games with actionscript 1 lite?

But I can't publish .ipa files with actionscript light, can I?

You can't because from what I know, the iPhone doesn't have any flash player.

Also,
Objective C is about one hundred times more powerful than flash.

Also,
the point isn't just to make a game,
it is to make an iPhone game...

yeah i just looked it up iphone doesn't have flash.

my bad


what kind of animation are you after?

Basic man movement, enemy movement, coin animations, and others like that.
I was also thinking maybe I'd do some rampage thing where the main character is driving a car down the road. So car animations. It's gunna be 2d, because I just am terrible at programming in 3d. All of the animations will have to be converted into animated GIF format.

What I'm really waiting for is for someone to come out with an idea for the game, then we can start working on graphic models of the characters and enemies, and from there, all we do is build apon it.

Also,
if you are good at graphic art,
you could make still cutscenes.

But yeah, we can't do much before an actual idea comes out of this.

i can help with animations then

Ok,
cool,

Figure this collab will be a bit different for most considering they will actually get paid,
don't see that much round here..

that is one of the few things that will make me stick with a project

Would you need an iPhone/iPod touch in order to be a tester?

If not I can help, if so I can't (although I would be happy to help in any way I could but I suspect you can find people here better than me for just about anything. Unless you need some juggling done. You want a juggler, I'm there.)

Well if you have a mac, I can export and convert the file into a program which is free, named game salad,
I'd never program in it though, as it's in beta mode...

Not sure how it'll run, but it'd be testing nonetheless.

I don't have a mac. Best consider me out.

Mmm,
howbouts I make it a web application and you can test through that???

If it's worth the trouble then I'd be happy to do it, sure.

Photoshop guy here if you need anything done along those lines, I have a first gen iPod touch if you wanted to test on that and also have a mac since that was mentioned in the thread. I'd happily throw in plot story crap if you end up needing more in that area.
