Po3, Coder seeking team members, AS2, Flash 8, has own Portal Awards

UPDATE: I have a team now. Sorry to all those artists who really need a programer.

I'm looking for some teammates to do a Po3 game with. I'm going to be the boss of our team, not that I'm overly bossy, but it helps get things done. I'm no good in an equal partnership, just ask Almighty Hans. Revenue will ofcourse be shared equally. I've got my own idea and it goes something like this.

A 2D sidescrolling beat-em-up with a Megamanesque twist. There will be 3 stages (playable in any order) with 3 bosses, and after you defeat each boss you take their ability, by transforming into them or something like that, it's not too important how you get their ability. Each boss's ability can be used to easily defeat another boss and certain enemies. When you have all the powers a final level becomes available. You'll need all your gathered powers to get through the final level and to defeat the final boss.

Who I'm looking for:
ANIMATOR: Someone who's pretty good with animation and background art. Aplicants should at least be considerably better than me when it comes to art and animation. Animation is very important. A lot of people can draw, but the team needs someone who can animate well. Lots of character animations.

MUSICIAN: Preferably an action oriented music style. There's a time and a place for calm music but a beat-em-up probably isn't it.

The theme of the game hasn't been decided. I want to base it on the strengths of the animator and musician. The game can play the same whether it's in space or in hell, but those themes require different art and music styles. I'd prefer not to do a medieval Lord of the Rings type theme though.

I work in Flash 8 with AS2, so the animator will probably need to use Flash 8 or lower. Not really a problem for the musician.

Post a comment or PM me if you're interested. I live in the Pacific timezone, but I stay up late, and I work 3 days per week. My teammates will get my MSN address for communication.

P.S. If I can get a team together there will probably be another Koopa 2 hiatus. Sorry guys.

Im a musician.
I'm am very good (and modest too)
I'm sorry that you can't listen to my work on the audio portal, but I got banned, (long story, but i didn't do anything wrong)
I need a new project, and this sounds like the perfect thing.
I use audacity, sibelius, and mario paint composer (don't underestimate the powers of mario paint!!!)
If you could get me a screen shot, that would help.
And, where is it going to be set. What kind of age. Futeristic im guessing.
Would you like something epic, fastpaced, arcadey, or whatever.
PM me.
Give me a try.
Frogumm : )

I'd really need to know why you got banned form the Audio Portal before considering you as a team member. I think pretty mcuh anyone would.

inspectertaz 2009-05-22 07:54:55

i wish i could help but im not an animator nor a musician... ><

Lambtaco 2009-05-22 07:54:55

That's okay. You can offer moral support.

Jimp 2009-05-22 08:50:49

we know who Catoblepas is working with then?

Lambtaco 2009-05-22 08:50:49

Not me, turns out that team already had a programmer.

Interesting style, well suited to video games. You probably won't read this so I'll send you a pm if I need a music guy.

Fate 2009-05-22 11:28:36

Damn, beaten to it.
Is there any chance of teaming up with me and F-777?

Lambtaco 2009-05-22 11:28:36

Not a very big chance at this point, sorry.

Zen444 2009-05-22 15:25:41

Fuck Newgrounds.

Lambtaco 2009-05-22 15:25:41

No, fuck you!

Shadowii2 2009-05-22 17:54:59

I may be interested. Anything Mega Man-ish gets me on right away.

Shadowii2 2009-05-22 18:40:27

I may aswell post info about me:

-Been using Flash for five years for doing art and animation. Recently picked up making games.
-I have Portal Awards of my own and I was once the King of the Portal last year
-I know fair amount of ActionScript 2.0 aswell
-I have Wacom, if it's ever to be needed

Lambtaco 2009-05-22 18:40:27

Well, your style seems a little too tween-oriented for the type of game I want to make. Thanks for contacting me though.

Frogumm 2009-05-23 07:32:21

Ok, here we go.
I just bought the new Lily Allen CD. I put it in my computer. SOmething popped up. It was a link to the secret website that could only be accesed with the disk. I desided to check it out. Once at the website, I saw that i could download all the track stems from all the new songs, free.
I downloaded the track stems for 'Fuck You.'
I had never remixed before, but I had a faint idea what to do.
I inported all the stems into audacity, and spent the next three weeks remixing it.
Finaly, my work was done. I was happy with the results. I had created something new out of old material.
I decided to showcase my work in the newgrounds audio portal.
As it was my first audio submision, I had to wait for an admin to verify that it was my own work. I didn't see any problem. It was my own work. I had just taken insperation and material from someone else.
I waited and waited, but nothing happend.
About a month later, I finished a compleatly new, compleatly original song. I desided to submit this to the portal. Once I had uploaded it and filled out the nessasery spaces, I clicked submit and the folling message poped up:
"You have been banned from submitting to the audio portal"
That is my story.
If you haven't already accepted Luxson, please send me a PM.
Thanks

Lambtaco 2009-05-23 07:32:21

That's really weird as the audio portal is full of remixes. Very odd indeed.
