Looking for coder. 50/50

[Ponz]

I'm looking for a coder for this zombie defense game i'm working on. here's an example of the artwork.
the view will be the same as Age of War. if you think you could do it send me a pm and we can talk from there.
here's the example

Meh , halloweens over , im tired out from zombies.

As for the 'art' i think i remember it from somewhere , mediocre art with some tweens , hopefully the ones for the real game will be better.

I think the coder should get 60% at least. also why dont you search the bbs for artist wanted or something
there are hundreds of these threads, once i saw two threads right next to each other that were so vague:

'Looking for an artist to code for'
'Programmer wanted for flash team'

why would the programmer get 60%. 50/50 would be fine since we're both doing half of the game. and thats the art being used for the game. If you think you could do better by all means i suggest you make your game and blow mine out the water.

anyways.....to all the coders i'm still looking

I think thats bs. What makes you think that the coder deserves 60%. This guy is most likely writing the story, doing the art, game design, and going to be looking for sponsors, and im tired of everytime some random guy says he can do better then the posters work. I think the art looks pretty good. Regardless if its a tween or not. What do you want the game coded in? AS2 or AS3, and what type of engine are you going for? Is there anything you can say about the game.

thanks, i don't want to say too much on the forum but i'm thinking as3 would be best. the game will play in waves/days, and after each day you can decide to do something, such as train, spend time with the family, build torrents, look for weapons. and the fighting is all AI, you just place torrents and watch the battle unfold.

Never thought of that , but if thats the case i take back most of what i said

and im tired of everytime some random guy says he can do better then the posters work.

[mulatto401]

To be honest, this sounds like a boring rip of The Last Stand.

The Last Stand., by Con-Artists Type: Game Rating: Ages 17+

Same concept, same gameplay mechanics, similar (yet worse) graphics, and the combat seems redundant and lackluster.

Hey, I could make a game in which you have to jump on Koopas, they're like tortoises, and you can get powerups in the form of mushrooms and fire flowers.
You have to beat a huge Koopa boss.
Except you just sit back and watch yourself run along and stomp on the Koopas, so you don't have to do anything. Yay!
And the graphics are 4 bit.
Amazing new game concept, right?

[mulatto401]

And the last stand is a rip off of Resident Evil........your point is??

The Last Stand isn't a rip off of Resident Evil. The gameplay is hardly similar at all.
However, Ponz's game sounds exactly like The Last Stand.

I'm not understating.....he just said the game is basically AI so how is this a rip off of The Last Stand again? I didn't see any turrets in The Last Stand....BTW RE is about killing zombies......which is what you do in The Last Stand

Jesus christ, you people are retarded. Where did last stand have turrets in it? Last stands art style was not toonish either. You people just have to nag about everything. This guy just wants help with his project and you ridicule everything about his work.

[Shmossy]

I'll break it down for you.

Yeah... reminds me of something.

this zombie defense game i'm working on

Zombie defense game...

after each day you can decide to do something

See where this is going?

look for weapons

Yeah, that's exactly like TLS.

%u2022 Zombie defense game

%u2022 Enemies come in waves

%u2022 After the day is through you can do a variety of things

Let's take a look at the description of The Last Stand, shall we?
Survive the night fighting off zombies from your barricade.Survive longer than a day by making use of the daylight hours effectively by:

- Repairing your barricade
- Searching for weapons
- Looking for other survivors to help repair, search and defend the barricade.

To me, this seems like a big rip-off.

Also, it has turrets. Wow. Another great original idea that completely seperates it from TLS.

[UknownXL]

He said it was mostly ai? So that completely changes everything?

[Ponz]

its not gonna play anything like last stand. thats all i have to say about that. I'm still looking for a coder if anybody's interested.

[mulatto401]

where is this guy even quoting from?

But ok guys lets just listen to this guy who has 0 games created on NGs because ya know.....every game we make is gonna be a copy and rip off of every OTHER game out there. COD is a rip off of halo, and Diddy Kong racing is a rip off of mario kart and every defense game is a rip off of Town Defense.....blah blah

Save us your comments, no ones interested. The guy is wanting a programmer, if your not trying to help the guy out with that then beat it lol

I'm quoting from his posts, actually.

Also, you're quite the hypocrite aren't you?
I've been using Flash for 3 years, and just because I haven't submitted any games to Newgrounds doesn't mean I'm not fit to judge someone else's work.

If you saw a car crash as a result from someone drink-driving, do you have to own a driver's liscense to be able to say that the drink-driver was irresponsible?
No.

wow an entire 3 years and you still haven't realized to this date that everything has been pretty much done? Why you gonna get on someone for making a game that is similar to many many MANY others, you have bad judgment man. I think his game can do well if done properly regardless of what games out there have done it first.

And yes you shouldn't talk negatively about someone else s projects if you haven't even created much yourself. You don't see me trying to put down the game's idea. Shame on you.

I really don't think what I've created makes any difference.
I'm saying it's a ripoff. That's it. What I've created isn't relevant, why do think it matters?

Perhaps if I had created something unoriginal, yes, then I would be a hypocrite.
But as it stands, I'm not a hypocrite, thus the whole "what have you made" argument is null.

[Shadow181]

I've gotta agree with Mulatto, if a game isnt boring why should you critisice it merely for sharing game elements with another game?
After all, isn't the most important thing that a game is fun?

Hmm.
If he says it's not going to play anything like The Last Stand, I guess all I can do is wait.
Yes, it's important that a game is fun, but originality plays a part too.

I AGREE, THE GUY WHO MADE THE LAST STAND TOTALLY INVENTED THE CONCEPT OF BARRICADING A SMALL AREA AND SHOOTING ZOMBIES WHO COME TO KILL YOU HURR DURRR. THIS CONCEPT DIDN'T EVEN EXIST BEFORE 2007 AND THE WORD 'ZOMBIE' WASN'T EVEN INVENTED

The arugment about "what you have made" is important to the fact that your advice/opinions have exactly -1 value. Say creator of Mario was in here pointing out negative parts to the game, surely everyone would be listening up, but because you have nothing your input is worthless....that is my point.

oh top of all this, it isn't a big deal this isn't a multi-million dollar idea that you are unable to refrain yourself from trying to deprive someone of their project.

*sigh* if you just look at the title of the post......it says NOTHING about asking for your opinion on the game....am I right?

I have to admit, you made me chuckle.

[Joelasticot]

I have an idea for a game :
You're an idiot browsing an internet forum, and when you come across a thread about someone looking for a partner, you must engage in completely useless conversations about whether or not a project that doesn't even exist yet is a rip-off of something else!
Oh and also there is no progression whatsoever and you can't beat the game!

I had a similar game, it was about people posting in forums trying to be funny but then realized that no one actually cared, it was a smash hit! Almost made it to the Wii
