Anyone Interested In Making A Game?

[Spudz]

Hi, I'm a web designer/developer working for a web company in Ireland, we have a client who has a taekwondo club, he asked us about developing a flash game specifically for his website. We wont be charging him for our part in organizing the production of the game so if anyone is interested, you will be getting all the cash. We're going to outsource the work as its outside our skillset. We're looking for a talented flash programmer/designer individual/team with experience building games and who is/are up for a challenge.

About the game:

Street Fighter style game (more cartoonish though - kids will be playing it)
Some kind of realism in the Kicks (Front Snap Kick, Turning Kick, Hook Kick, Axe Kick, Crescent Kick, Back Side Kick, Jumping Kick, Kick Combos)
7 Original Charachters (Unlock Special Characters - perhaps knock offs of famous characters - names changed - features altered - not mario! :D)
One Generic Character for training purposes
Skills System - Points for Aggression, Bravery (e.g not holding block when you're low on health and going all out attack, could be difficult to program), Kicking, Punching, Blocking
Grading System (Start at white belt - build up to black belt - possibly extra levels at much harder difficulty settings - up to 9th dan/degree black belt)
Special Moves... (needs more ideas/planning)
Tournament and Training Modes - Tournament fights bring trophies - Training fights bring next belt grade)
Data memory - remember player's name, character's name, current belt, trophies won, fighs won/lost, etc
Also we were thinking of a points leaderboard which gives the game extended playability, people can keep playing tournaments to add to their points tally.
Another idea we had was to also have a multiplayer arena game, added in at a later date, where people can fight against each other online with the character they've built up

There's plenty more to talk about but I'd like to present the idea to the community first to test if anyone is interested. Just to be clear THIS IS NOT A CONTEST.

There's a good budget for a small organization but we are trying to keep costs as low as possible, **insert generic recession comment here** We're not cheap, neither is our client, we value the work and we are fair people. We've come to Newgrounds with this because I've always had a lot of respect for the flash work done by people on this site, some cool artwork and interesting games. And...to be honest, its probably going to be cheaper than an established flash game company.

So, if you think you or your team is up to the task, PM me with a quote and some of your previous work and we'll get in touch with you to let you know if we'd like to work with you!

Cheers

How much is your client offering?
Many Newgrounders won't work for peanuts you know.

I'll do artwork for practically nothing if a coder wants to work with me.

My Deviantart is here if you need references.

My msn is [e-mail]

Oh and by the way, all my work is mouse drawn (i'm saving up for a tablet)

Definitely NOT peanuts but I was instructed to only mention money to people who are seriously interested and have a proven track record of quality.

Thanks for putting your work forward, I'll take a look alright. I'm really looking for either a capable all-rounder or a strong team with people with specialized skill in programming, animation, artwork etc.

What's the deadline?

[Bum-Secks]

this is for a taekwondo club right? so the moves will be taekwondo?

Well i presume they would be and having done taekwondo myself i can tell you thats alot of animation

[Spudz]

Deadline hasn't been decided yet, we're costing at the moment, i'll post any further information as I get it.

Taekwondo kicks would be an excellent feature to have, but its not a pre-requisite to the success of the applicant, it can be spoken about in greater detail when the successful candidate/team is confirmed.

Thanks for the interest so far.

this is how I understood this deal:

you want 2-3 people to make a game for you. You pay us money, then you sell it your client for more money?

Did you even read the first post?

[josh-tamugaia]

I'm curious. The special moves will be more powerful and appealing taekwondo moves, right? Since this is a taekwondo game. Or will the special moves be "special powers" or unrealistic stuff like tatsumakisenpukaku or Hadokken!

It would be cooler and more useful if you made it a taekwondo tournament game, like with the same rules. So you can technically punch to the mouth in a game, but you lose a point. Stuff like that, so kids can play a game that's not a street fighter clone, and learn how to spar/compete. Also, you could make it to where the more you use a kick/punch/combo, the faster your character can execute it.
