The Search for Teammates
btw I might remove this whole post if the idea of a team suddenly scares me yay
I've been a solo hobbyist game dev for like 5 years now. I've finished like 7 jam games all on my own (art, code, audio, every single part) and I've decided that I wanted to look for a game dev team for the first time to jam this one off.
As a developer:
- I can code. I have years of experience in Unity C# (although newer versions than 2018.4.5 run terribly slow in my computer) but I picked up _Godot_ like a week ago and turns out that I'm pretty fluent in it and I like it quite a lot. Plus, it runs bLaZiNgLy fAsT in my computer. But I've only tried GDScript at the moment although Mono should be easy because of all the time I've spent with Unity C#.
- (I'm also pretty good at Python and many aspects of web development, if that matters)
- I can make art. 2D art and pixel art in many styles. I'm best at 2D art as Blender still confuses me, but I'm (almost) competent with low-poly and I like to make cute characters with primitive shapes. Don't ask me to rig, though.
- I can(?) make music mostly just 8-bit-ish stuff but I haven't made any soundtracks since that one time I almost blew up a streamer's headphones (it was a Ludum Dare and it was late at night and I pulled up the AudioSource volume by accident) so I guess I might not be as good at it as before.
- I have a real nice 2D platformer character controller written in GDScript :D
As a person:
- I have a sense of humor :D (well it depends on the day and topic. Also I can't believe that this is not obvious but NAZISM IS NOT FUNNY)
- I used to be an atheist but now I'm pretty religious and I will refuse to make games that show blood or NSFW or themes like horror or any kind of supernatural / magic / witchery / fantasy / elves kinda stuff.
- English is not my first language and my accent is kinda weird.
- Zoom's privacy scandals are creepy so I will use Discord for communication.
- As I said, this would be my first game dev team so expect questions like "uhhhhh... so who will do what?"
Enough about me. Let's talk about YOU:
- I will not trust someone who hasn't completed a game jam before.
- Teammates from somewhere in America would be best for me because I've heard nightmares about timezone issues.
- I'd feel most comfortable with someone of my age range so teammates between 15 and 22 years old would be preferred.
Wow this post is huge! But I wanted to make sure to make stuff clear from the start.
(Right now, I will not link to my itch or my previous games because I'm afraid that someone will try to cancel me because I said I'm religious and that's also why there are no submissions in this LD account, it's an alt.)
Edit: At the end I think I will not join this Ludum Dare, but thanks to all of you for your support :D I will certainly try next time!
