Idea for a new educational computer game details inside

News & General Discussion

Good afternoon dear friends
I’ve got an idea for a new educational single player PC game of merchant sea and pirates and I’m looking for a free team to make it
Can someone pick up the gauntlet and do it?
I also have a very old game of the concept of the game
Note: I’m just coming up with the idea
I would appreciate comments…

I’m a bit confused by this post. You have this in News and General Discussions but it seems you’re asking for collaboration? So it’s at least in the wrong category. Next thing which is not really clear is what you mean by “free team”. Do you mean a team that has the time to pick up a project or are you looking for free labor who will make the game for you o.O? This sounds a bit like wishful thinking.

Since this was stuck in moderation I was on the edge of removing it. You should clarify what you actually mean because the little information you’ve shared is almost nothing and the bit you have shared is between vague and confusing.

Okay, here’s one: make it yourself. Ideas mean nothing if you can’t execute on them.

I mean a free team that has time and can work on it
If I’m not in the right forum, I’d love to get a link that will lead me to the right forum
thanks!

What are you bringing to the table other than an idea that would get a team of people to make your game for you?

I want to make the best game out there of maritime trading and piracy
I even have a demo game of what the game is going to be built on
I can send it to anyone who is interested by email…

What do you say?

I’d say your odds of getting team members are quite low at the moment. First of all, you’ll want to post in the collaboration section as already mentioned. Also keep in mind that most posts get less than 100 views so you really need to convince people that it’s worth working on.

Maritime trading and piracy isn’t anywhere near enough information, that’s like someone saying they want to make a Metroidvania game with zombies. It might pay to compare other collaboration posts for what details you could include. But as an example you might want to include details like:

  • Summary about the game: how is it educational, what’s the gameplay, is it 2d/3d etc.
  • Video demo.
  • Concept art.
  • Design document.
  • Monetization: is the game completely free (probably the safest option) or are you going to try and earn money from it. If you are, how are you going to divide the profits?
  • What’s your role? Normally others will only join if you have a lead role e.g. you’re a programmer looking for an artist.
  • What positions are you looking for in a team e.g. programmer, artist.

As Murgilod mentioned, you have to describe what you’re bringing to the table. You said in your first post that you’re only providing the idea but later noted that you have a demo. If you’re really only provided the idea then you’re not going to have much luck.
