Going to create a new game - Who wants to help?

Hello Everyone. I'm A-Train and I've been a programmer, 3D Artist, game developer, and much more for the last 7 ish years. Some of you may or may not know of all the work I've accomplished over the last few years, all or most of it was done on EA and Dice's Battlefield series, going all the way from Battlefield 1942 to Battlefield 2142, spanning all those 4 games and their booster packs. Some of the work has been involved with working along side EA and assisting EA in converting a lot of their old software into the new engines and such. The last piece of work I've done was a simple modification to Battlefield 2142 called Zombie Community, where I took the existing engine and added new lighting and special effects that the 2142 engine hasn't seen before.

Since the Battlefield series is a dying series and no longer profitable, I've decided to move onward, to other engines and companies that have proven track records.

I'm looking to put together a team of various individuals with diverse backgrounds to great a new game to be sold or later profited to a producer with 2 original ideas that I have. I'm looking for individuals with open minds, wild imaginations, and wicked skills to make this new project a reality. This new game will be created in private and most of all, in secret from the outside world, until that time when it's ready to be revealed to the world.

Any individuals who are also seeking to share their own ideas are also encouraged to join. Right now, we are in the pre-planning stages, getting teams together to come up with ideas, features, and game play before any of the actual IP is created. This is the prime time for gamers around the world to share their ideas in creating a game worth sharing to the world.

If any of this applies to you, then I encourage you to come on board. Because of the economy and finances, all work will have to be on a volunteer, spare-time basis until after the work is completed and thus then commercialized where any profits are appropriately split among those involved based upon the amount of work. All persons wishing to participate in this group are encouraged to copy write their work on an on-going basis to prevent fraud.

++Legal Junk++

Because we are aiming to eventually commercialize this project, ONLY ORIGINAL IP (Intellectual Property) is allowed into this project. We WILL NOT promote, sell, buy, advertise, or use any stolen or illegal IP that is not of the original author on the team. Any persons caught in doing this act will be immediately removed from the team and all their work will be destroyed and reported to the appropriate authorities. We, I, Us are not a company nor are we affiliated with any other company. We, I, Us are a private organization creating new IP and modifying existing engines (physics, game, etc engines) and do so under no grantee that our work will become commercialized, although that is our ultimate goal. Those joining the organization also acknowledge that they are not 'employed' or 'employees' of this private organization and therefore are guaranteed no compensation for their work or time. There are no 'benefits' since this is not a company nor is this organization employing any person or persons.

With the Legal junk out of the way, we can move onto organization. Over the next few weeks I will be settings up a website and a VoIP server (probably either ventrilo (www.ventrilo.com) or teamspeak (www.teamspeak)) to organize for those wishing to participate in this organization. Until then, I can be reached at EMS Gamers (www.EMSGamers.com). Those wishing to voice their interest should also post there, in the 1337 Games forum.

More information to know:

So I plan on creating a new game running off of a scalable engine (which I still have yet to decide) and I plan on doing most of the work myself. However, I do plan on needing help. So if anybody wants to help, please let me know. This will be a project that I will work on my free time or if I can get it, state funded (which I am in the process of doing), and it'll be a volunteer now - sell later project, to which I plan on selling to one of the major companies (will likely be more restricted to the company's engine that provides it). This will be a great way for me to finally set up the real game which I will launch in the future (which will not be related to this game). In the mean time, I have 2 ideas which are original and have not been done in the gaming world.

If you have an interest in helping, please reply here or contact me VIA Private Message. Alright guys, I'm out.

Until next time,

P.S If anybody knows any websites or forums to post this, it would be most appreciated if you would let me know. Thanks.
