Hello! Thank you for answering my call to action! It seems I got a colab on art, but I think there is plenty of work to go around, and a quicker delivery would be something nice too. Mail me on neostalgiant@gmail.com with a one-sentence introduction so I can share some docs with you and if the content resonates with something you'd like to get involved with, then we can kick off with a design and planning session.

How kind and constructive! Do you know the average amount an indie makes or the dominant value? You know many of them, when they start, they think they will make millions, but they never get a penny? They can still enjoy it or do it for the fun of it, nothing wrong with that. Little fun fact: in my dayjob I actually bring a corporate SaaS to fulfilment and it does in fact make millions, just for a corporation, so I probably know more about commercialization than most others in here and I don't pick on anyone.

And yes, I do have a bring to market plan and experience, so the possibility of actually owning a share of something that has commercial value is relatively high.

You know what collaboration is? It's when I invite someone to the project not to do my bidding, but to fulfill their ideas and bring their art to life. It's a matter of getting in tune with the collaborators.

Better yet: most indies don't finish their project  because it tends to be too much for one person, so by collaborating (co-working if the other word is too hard for you) they get to see their part delivered. Did you notice half of the posts have [REVSHARE] in the subject which means essentially THE SAME or less than what I offered? Because normal rev sharing means also cost sharing, when I said I cover distribution and marketing costs, probably some asset and subscription costs too.

At the same time, while a person helps me with my project and brings part of their fantasy to life as well (the one I code to existence), they can get programming experience and project management experience relevant to normal jobs, you know, the ones that pay actual money that 95% of indies don't, ever do. So, I end up paying to bring to market a collective effort and but share the earnings. I take the risk and I come from a position where I expect to do the most work myself, while giving opportunity to fulfil own ideas and access anything in the project.

Now, either explain how exactly this is exploitation or use this opportunity to reform :).

You have a problem with yourself, quite clearly. I mean in real life, it shows. Look for help. Some people can't sit down and make a game all day because they have this thing called responsibilities, which is why even a simple game can take a year

or more to be made- I don't always have time and I don't expect collaborators to have it either. Good to mention is that you say about commitment- yes I am committed to finish. Talk to some people how many unfinished projects they have and maybe your mind will open. Somehow most of people here understand that substantial money for making games is not a given. Average earnings for indies is way below 5000 USD, if you are an adult that money doesn't impress you at all. Most indies don't ever make 1/10th of this. This is the plain truth. I said this numerous times: people on the project can alter it's meaning and develop their own ideas with my help, hardly slavery. As a matter of fact I already do have a sufficient team by now and all further additions I would discuss with them. I am only replying to your toxic outburst, so that newcomers potentially looking to assemble a team are not discouraged to make their own post after reading your not-edgy-at-all comments.

FYI aside from having a normal job I also have an orchard where if I need someone to do exactly as I say- I pay them. Here, I don't pay upfront because people do what we t o g e t h e r establish is the right thing and intend to share the profit, however big or small. What I posted is a concept, a framework, an entry plan.
