I just wanted to tell you I like your attitude! Games are to poluted by money and the need for profit. I and some others are currently busy with an online space simulation game. We do this, because we like it. We don't ask any money for it! I myself think working in a team is better than working alone, because you can stimulate eachother and you don't have to do each and every detail on your own. If anyone reads this and thinks he/she can tribute something to our game, please come to our website at www.spacelancer.com. But please note; There is no payment but the work it self. Thanks in regard and see ya. Dagmar Werkhoven Hey there! I just wanted to tell you I like your attitude! Games are to poluted by money and the need for profit.

Me, I'd like to make a team game. Mostly beacuse I don't feel as confident with the game design part of the game making. I started a collaboration where one person did story, puzzles, ... the real game design, while I did the rest (graphics, music, putting it together). After a while (Checks saved e-mails... over a year! Did we really work that long on it? Apparently, but the first months consisted mostly of figuring out a general style and the looks of the main characters.) he found that he didn't have the time to work on the game, so it was put on hold. Maybe we'll be able to get back to it, but I haven't seen him around on the 'net since then. Now, as you know, I work on a solo project, but I still hope to do a collabration in the future. When I release my game, I will have proved that I have the energy, devotion and patience needed to make a full game. I will also have something to show potential collaborators: This what I can do when it comes to music and graphics. Hopefully some people will like what I've done. But I won't be looking for someone to team up with so that I can make the next game faster. I'll be looking for someone to team up with only beacuse I find it hard coming up with good plots and puzzles. If I can find someone that's good at that, I'll happily implement that person's ideas. You have also shown that you can make a good game on your own, so take the time you need and work on your game alone!
