Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Mkay, folks, sorry but we're full.

The idea is that we're working on a platform game, and within the platform game would be NPCs that each get their own themed area. In real life, that would mean

-Choosing a theme
-Making up a short story (As random as you'd like)
-Describing your NPC's looks to an artist
-Choosing collectible clothes so the player can dress up for your theme

and getting to see it brought to life in a game. You can voice you NPC if you so wish. I've got two NPC slots that I'm looking for. It's going to be a more cartoony game. It is not intended to get revenue. If you're interested, you can reply or PM me.

well, i'm not experienced in this, but i suggest putting multiple threads, one asking for just programmers, and one just for composers. I figure that if someone sees the keywords 'looking for [whatever they are]' they're more likely to click your post. I do happen to game a lot, though not on newgrounds, and I'd be happy to help with layout/design, though.

how about a "game a day" where people make games on a subject for that day.

So what you'll get is 4-6 crappy, badly-programmed games unless you get a good quality inspection. In 24 hours.

i had that idea but put it out of my mind because im lazy enough already, although one dude offered to help program. i'd oblige if more ideas pop up and he's willing to still help. i put this thread up for fun, and i'm gonna openly say now that i have very badly drawn an almost finished, but also very short PnC. so don't expect anything, like, awesome.

no offense to the other guy, but this one is more descriptive so i'll go for this idea first.

It's fine. Do you need any help programming?

actually, i chose this because it's one of the few things i CAN pull off without any trouble. but if this post gets popular and this grows to a series... id be happy to get help.

What kind of ideas do you have? I mean, what kind of game are you thinking about?
Who do you need? Musicians/Sound designers? Artists? Other programmers?

what yoshi said.

If interested, please PM me or reply to this post. I am looking for HitTests, AI, Atk/Def Stats, Controls, and Sound Mixing By Code. No financial compensation, but you will receive credit.

Hey folks, I'm programming a stree fighter type of game, and it occurs to me that because I'm new to certain things like ai and preloaders and whatnot, I'm looking for a programmer to come in with me. If you program in flash as2 or 3 and you have done something successfully, I'd love to get your reply to this post, or you can pm me. The main things that I cannot cover are

-enemy ai
-sound mixing
-preloaders
-character controls

So come on bored and experienced flash programmers, I just know you're out there somewhere!

ok folks, we got one. thanks. im not sure how to officially close a thread, but... its closed.

It would also be nice if you can supply sprites, music, and backgrounds. Don't worry if you can't supply any of that stuff. I just need a programmer. Please! I don't know ANYTHING about ActionScript or any of that stuff! I'm so hopeless, I can't even make a menu for a video! PM me or post here if you wanna help. You're most likely to get a response if you PM me.

While I will not program your game, I recommend learning actionscript the way I did. Unofficially, using easy game tutorials on websites like emanueleferonato.com or tutorialized.com or kirupa.com or any other websites that come up when you google search what you're looking for. Literally, type flash, type tutorial, and type what you want to learn how to do. Lots of people have it so you can copy and paste code, and they tell you what each part does so that you can take out the bits you need. The code structure is pretty straightforward, as in for example, if you want the program to check if something's in your inventory in an rpg, and check if you click it, and if so then equip it, the code is if(HaveSword && clickSword = true) { sword=equipped;}
And most of what I typed is stuff you can name yourself. Worst case scenario, you copy paste stuff in, you have no idea what it does, you can look it up in flash's help area. You literally right click codebits, and click help and it tells you about it with examples. Plus, if you try o use incorrect code, a window pops up saying "there is ? Kind of error right here" and if you click it highlights the wrong part for you. Plus, while you type code, it recognizes things and colors them for you as you go, making stuff easier to find later. If you find this daunting, I suggest the tutorial on shatteredgames.com because it introduces you to how games can tell when stuff happens. It is for an escape the room game, but it still is helpful as a template for how to code other stuff. Hope that rant helped.

Hi jacket funk. Nice name. Currently I am focusing on city of champions, which already has music, but the other game being discussed on here, currently referred to as team newb, is kind of on hold, since some of the group is taking exams, and the writer is, as far as i know, between accounts at the moment. They suggested an escape the room game, which I'm sure could use a music track, so... If you're willing to wait, and the group members all eventually come back, then you're hired.

im just lazy.

okay, all these tabs i gotta keep open to talk to all three of you i find inconvenient. I highly recommend you all getting gmail accounts so that you can use google drive, which is great for collaborating on projects.

nonono i think you were right we should do something from scratch, our own idea, the only thing we're missing however is an artist right?

okay, cool. i'll make a second project and call that team newb and we can all join that too and then yall can leave groups as you see fit.

just read your messages. i consider democracy to be the best way to call shots. go for it pplz.

voice person whose username i just forgot (sorry) koolz, u rok. its a newb project anyway.

forsaken's game seems to only need programming and animating done, though. voices and story are already just about set. thats why i think it ought to stay seperate. i sent spruceGoose an idea for a game story i had a looong time ago, and i can post it here too if you guys want, but im just saying.

oh and elephly? dude... maybe its just me, but i have 0 degrees, and am technically a high schooler. don't worry about education.

Oh my gosh, I totally thought nobody would read this! Okay, well I'll be happy to accept the writer and programmer and game designer, and I think it's awesome that someone else thinks it's awesome. Fair enough on the exams, I'd be happy to wait.

Hey fellow n00bs, lets get together and make a flash game! i dont have any standards for quality, i just want to get something made and posted on here. I'd love to program (and learn additional code as i need to) and if i could find any people of ANY level who could write, animate, voice, or program with me, that would be awesome. I'm not going for money on this, and any takers will probably not get rich off of this either. I will give credit happily. I see this as a team learning exercise that I hope will be pleasant to play later on. I use AS2. I use Flash CS3.

Hey, I am capable of making an escape game, i think. it's a matter of how i always mess up that ONE line of code and stuff, but iv'e pulled it off before and then allowed it gather e-dust because i cannot write a good game story. but if you supply the story, I would LOVE to get the experience. hence the smiley. yeahh.. it's my first, post, so i really am a newbie here at the moment. but iv'e been tinkering with flash for around 8 years on and off. Plus I'm incredibly eager to have a hand in something published on here.
