[GameDesign] Seeking someone with game-ideas

I have made many games, but there are often not much ideas in them. I am searching for somebody, who has good ideas and concepts. It must not be a programmer. But he/she must know something about game-mechanics and game-history. We would make here on itch.io game-jams and maybe later some work on Steam. Write here or on jan-silber@gmx.de

Привет! Я не программист, и только вхожу в сферу виртуальных новелл, но у меня много идей, и они прут через край! У меня есть ещё художники, а я с удовольствием буду сценаристом и пропишу лор! Мне как раз нужен разработчик для воплощения своих идей.

Программирование для меня — не проблема, скорее идеи. Я слишком часто делаю стандартные dungeon crawler'ы или скучные shoot’em up'ы без изюминки. Чтобы немного потренировать креативность, я собираюсь участвовать в Visual Novel Jam’ах. Было бы здорово, если бы ты мог предложить мне несколько идей для гейм-джемов. Просто выбери любой джем на itch.io и пришли мне свои идеи! Я их реализую. Графику я беру либо с spriters-resource.com, либо с opengameart.org, музыку — тоже оттуда. Уже несколько недель подряд я оказываюсь в конце рейтинга на джемах — дело не в программировании, а скорее в том, что у игр нет оригинального геймплея.

I sent you an email via google mail, but I'm afraid it didn't get through. Maybe we could use other channels to communicate? I'm from Russia. What channels of communication would be convenient for you?

for which game jam should your idea be? Select a game jam and then I start to work

Я бы хотела поучаствовать в этом джеме. Здесь немного локаций, что будет просто для реализации, можно навалить классное музыкальное атмосферное сопровождение, и придумать какую-нибудь жуткую, леденящую душу идею, используя всего пару персонажей. Что скажете?

первая идея, которую я описала не подойдет для этого джема, но можно все упростить и трансформировать под мифы острова Крита, например, или взять за основу старую русскую сказку о 33 богатырях и сделать жуткий аналог
Вряд ли эта сказка популярная и известна, так что она может заинтересовать зарубежную молодежь

i didnt understand

А вот тот джем, под который я бы хотела подстроить ту первую идею, что описала вам через почту. Как раз у нас будет время обсудить все детально и поискать художника. Что скажете?

ok, for that jam we have enough time

but lets do rather make for the firts jam you mentioned. becaue the scream jam starts in 3 months, the other jam is now. i would like to make our game now, i would start tonight when its dark outside

Great!

Then I'll work on the detailed development of the plot and negotiate with my artists. All the work you'll need to do is programming (I'll also think about the possibility of introducing mini-games into the plot)

I'm familiar with Renpy, a program for creating graphic novels, and I assume that we could create a game using its code as a basis. What do you think?

The jam also states that all the work must be done during the jam itself (it starts in 12 days), the topic will be available 24 hours before, but we can work out sketches of the plot/code/pictures so that we don't go there empty-handed. Over the weekend, I'll develop the plot in twine and send it to you by mail (if you successfully received my message)

If available, here's my telegram @Evjen_MayiakK, unfortunately, I don't use international networks, but if it's convenient for you, I can register on tumblr.

ok, we can do this like you said

maybe we can create some space, online zone for our small team to communicate? how would it be for you?

discord?

Are you looking for certain game mechanics idea? you'd need to tell us what kind of game you are working on so we could add ideas in.

I make all genres, I make games for Windows, Browser and Android, in 2D and 3D. You can look for a actual jam on itch.io and tell me your idea, then i make it

Turn Based Dungeon Crawler Jam - itch.io

I can help you with that,I have a lot of creative ideas for games,but only if they interest me,I can make good characters and plot

ok, please write me your ideas at jan-silber@gmx.de

I send you an email with my idea,it is a bit long but I hope to work with you together 

please write, for which game jam it should be, than i start with the work

oh,I didn't think it should be especially for a game Jam,sorry,I am new to those things

I will write you another idea for scream jam today okay? But can I ask if I could work with you or no? Like an artist and plot-dialog writer?

yes, you can work with me. Jam: Tri-jam, deadline: 11 am monday cet, theme: lost in the forest, limitation: you have not working longer than 3 hours

So,we cant work on the idea that i wanted to give for that jam? But i dont know very much about that theme

Trijam #330: The 3 hour game jam - itch.io 


only a short story you must made. I would like to make a game in a forest at night, first person 3D, fihgting with sword, fantasy-setting

Hey Bardon, I am interested in making a pixel flappy bird copy but with upgrades and it will be space themed too. Thing is i need a commited coder to help me please

we can make it for this jam --> HOW LONG CAN WE JAM - itch.io 

assets can we take here --> Flappy Bunny | OpenGameArt.org

Hi Brandon. Well I do have my own assets but I would like you to put them together and things so we can create the game together please? Please email me at contact.funova@gmail.com

I have a real good idea, mail me on bulungeshamit@gmail.com so i can send you the details. It is a tragic hero to villian story arc best in first person view or third person. I have complete story and currently mapping out small details in story. All it needs is a body to breathe in. If you are interested please mail.

You want 3D or 2D? 3D I amke with Unity, 2D is better with Browser-IDE like AGK or Monkey X or processing+javascript, 

For the first we can make this jam --> One Game a Month #49 - itch.io

This Jam I often participated in the last years, we have enough time, no restrictions and limitations (the theme there is only optional)

Sorry, I haven't found a good rpg- or fantasy- or adventure-jam

It will be 3d. Well i have a few dev interested. It will be a paymentless work. Tell me if you are interested so I can tell you more about it. Mail to bulungeshamit@gmail.com

Hello, feel free to contact me on discord : imnowsober

I'm a professionnel Game Designer for triple A games.

are you more in game mechanics or stories?

Could you let me know if you're still looking for someone with a game idea?

Have you for this a good idea/story? --> 📣Citizens, Assemble!📣 🏛️🏆 - itch.io

No ideas for that jam apart from making it a large co-op game of some sor

Do you have any game jam in mind? I would be happy to join (:

search for one in the jam calendar, which would fit to your game idea. i promise you, that then i start to work

have you for this jam a good game idea? Acerola's Dirt Jam - itch.io

what about this one? https://itch.io/jam/unpolished-jam

I can offer myself

make please for that game-jam a idea/story --> Horror of the Americas Jam - itch.io

Just tell me how the game is based Then I will take and answer

i would make with you an adventure or action-adventure. do you know the cthulhu-mythos? a game-story for that would be nice! (the setting must be in north- or south-america --> see the jam-rules!)

In South America it would be cooler

Based on the myth of Cthulhu it would be even better

yes, maybe a maya-temple or -pyramid, where an altar of Shub-Niggurath or Cthulhu is set. And occultists and common people, which were kidnapped and should be sacrificed

Ok Bardon you gave me an idea, as soon as possible I will send it to you

I know, opticians travel through the northern United States about an ancient myth 'Cthulhu' and then they notice a red sea and then, due to the curiosity of one of the members, he goes to see what this sea is like.Interesting, but when he realizes that something is lurking there, he is taken by a huge thing that makes him mysteriously disappear. 

can you please write a game design document for this?

Are you interested in punchy hooks, unusual game mechanics, viral potential, emotional impact, prototyping experimental stuff or practicing game making? I can definitely give you a sample or two if you give me some more info on your tastes and style.

Also, how many ideas are you in the market for? We can talk about a little bundle of them if you want. Just shoot me a message on discord. RootNeg1Reality

my discord isnt working, give me please your email

Hi! I'm a scriptwriter and Android developer with a strong creative focus.

My writing style leans toward the dark, absurd, or a twisted mix of both. I have a few world concepts and narrative ideas — from visual novels and roguelikes to weird alchemical universes.

I'm also a programmer (Android by trade), with past experience in gamedev. I mostly hate Unity, but can jump into dev/architecture if needed.

yes, send me a story, then I make something wthit it. Of course I credit you. (I love Unity, I hate Unrea Engine!)
