Need Coder. Start Asap. $$ = 50/50

[Goat-Man]

Ok, probably over 10 days ago now, I started a "day project."
I animated everything I needed for a small game I wanted to make.
I had a coder lined up, but he left.
So I had a few in mind to replace him, but they couldn't do it.
But finally someone else was willing.
Then my original guy came back.
But due to unforseen circumstances, which are somewhat personal, and not my place to mention, he can no longer do it.

So now I'm back on the hunt!
I hope that this isn't going to take too long to code. Although I am no coder, so it's not my place to say I suppose.
I would like you to start ASAP. This game was supposed to be done, and out of the way quite some time ago. And it's killing me a little but inside to still see it incomplete :(

Send me a PM, or post in this thread. I'll get back to you, and we'll see what we can do.
I plan to get a sponsorship, and we can split it 50/50.
PayPal would be the easiest. So, hopefully you have that.

Thank you. And please don't feel hurt if you're not choosen.
A sample of my art for the game.

Can you explain the gameplay a little so we would understand how big of a project it is?

[Goat-Man]

The game is a sidescroller. You're just basically trying to make it as FAR (not as long) as possible.

You use the arrows to move, the mouse to shoot.
You shoot the little Devil things, which throw pitchforks at you.
And you dodge the meteor. It must be dodged, it can't be shot.

There is also a little handful of power-ups.

That's about it I think.
I tried to make it as simple as possible. But hopefully still fun.
Just to make it that much easier to code, and hopefully the sooner it's finished.

One enemy to kill and a meteor to dodge? Does not sound a very fun game which leads to it not getting sponsorship which in turn leads to useless work for both of us :P. You may want to give some more detailed info about the game, or if my assumption was accurate, then you don't :), but I doubt anyone would seriously be interested in working on it.

Thank you Mrs. Negative Nancy

But seriously, that was pretty harsh. I've seen games with far less to them get sponsorships.
Hell, I've played games were you run along flat ground, jump over holes, and run under boxes. And that game still had a sponsorship.
So I don't think that's what you have to worry about.

There might not be a lot to the game, but doesn't that make it more worth your while?
Less work for you to do, but you still get paid. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

I have a detailed version of what I want the entire game to be. And no, it's not all THAT much more in depth than what I've already said, but I will only supply that version upon special request.

PF you did have a bit too much of a negative view on it with your post...

Sounds like a bit of a simple game, wont be a huge hit or anything but I've been sponsored for far worse so I'm sure if a fairly small actionscripter were to take up this project with you then it would be worth it for you both and the end product would be a fun little game.

I'm a little too busy right now or I would offer to help... but yeah somebody should get on this and make some extra $$$ as it sounds quite good if you ask me =D

Like the artwork as well, simple but clean/fresh/sharp

Thanks for the positive feedback.
Hopefully it attracts a few more coders to the thread ;)

Thanks for the compliment too. I might have added more to this game, but I don't have time. This was mostly just to try out my new tablet!

Good luck with what you're working on too.

[ProfessorFlash]

I don't think the "I've seen a lot worse crap get sponsored" is a very good approach when making a game :). That is actually quite hilarious that you both base your defenses on that argument :). Okay so your game won't be the shittest game sponsored, great :D.

But anyway, I wish you good luck with your project. I did like the graphics, so we will have to see what kind of game it becomes. But I'm not interested in working on this.

[5h4d3ofBl4ck]

If you can't find anyone else, I'll gladly do it, doesn't seem too hard.

Jeez, glad you liked my game. And yes, I know youre talking about my game, because you made several comments about it and asked me to code this. I know what gets sponsored and what doesnt, and you dont need to make asshole remarks because I dont want to code your game.

Having it said back to me, I realize, Yes. That argument sucks. Haha.
But, the point that it will be sponsored was the point I was trying to get across.

Thanks for the support.
And, I understand. No worries.

I'm waiting to see if I get a few more responses before I pick anyone.
Sorry I didn't reply to your PM

[ToasterDemon]

I beleive you skipped over my comment.

It's ok, and I'm willing to wait.While your still here, do you have to show any examples or anything, because I've got a few.

[st1k]

All respect for you has been lost. You are just a new noob to newgrounds. Me and toasters game was fun, and well put together. The only thing I see your in is collabs and collabs are mostly for noobs. I dont want to create an enemy here so ill stop there.

That was taken so out of context it was unreal :(
I was writing my post, left, and came back.
So by the time I had made my post, I had missed yours altogether!!
So I am sorry that it looked like I was giving you the cold shoulder there. That was not my intention!

And, at the same time, my comment about your game was also not meant to be an "asshole remark"
You had said so yourself that the game was made in roughly a day.
I merely used it as an example to show that a game made in a day has an equally good chance to get a sponsorship as a game that had months poured into it. Albiet, the sponsorship will be less, but it was simply to make my point.

I know you said you couldn't code my game. I respect that. Your a busy person. I wasn't going to force you to do something you didn't have time for. So I didn't bring it up again.
And I'm certainly not the type of person who could go and start cutting them down all over the place simply because they were to busy to make something that they never really said they could do in the first place.

I hope you understand that I meant in no way to bad mouth you. I even made a point of not directly using your game for my example, just incase people did think I was trashing you, when really it was to be encouraging.
So hopefully you can see, that none of that was my intention.
And that I meant only the best :(

Not you too St1k!
Fuck me this is turning out awfully!!

I do collabs for fun, and because it's fun to work with other authors. I do it more for experiance, and for getting to know the Newgrounds community.
I believe they have helped me to grow a lot in my animating, and meet lots of great people, who I would never get to work with otherwise.
But, if you believe they are for noobs and beginners, thats you opinion, and I won't hold it against you.

As for the gamewise, please ready my comment about to ToasterDemon.
I meant no harm towards you or your game making abilities!
You game inspired me to make this! It encouraged me to give the 1-2 day game project thing a try. It seemed like fun, and I got started right away. Essentially, the gameplay in my game is very similar. So why would I vut down a game, that in the end is similar to what I would like to accomplish!?

Even if you didnt directly say the game name, you still described it as detailed as you could. Saying, if THIS GAME got a sponsor, than I know mine could, is definitely an insult. Your saying, that yours will easily be superior, which Im sure wont be true. Saying a game was made in a day does not mean its shit either. You dont know how many hours were put in that day, and with 2 people, its doubled. Just dont say your game will be supperior, when you post 3 poorly done, tweened graphics.

[ToasterDemon]

btw I'm done posting this stuff on the bbs, so reply in PM or whatever

[Night-Mare]

I offered to code this before in a PM you sent me, why didn't you just PM me back, I already started most of it.

Like I told you, my original coder had left had come back to me. And I wanted to give him the opportunity.
I had no idea you had started it :(
In the PMs we sent, you had never said that you had started it. Or else I would have never gone back to my original, or went looking for more coders!

Fuck my life! This is turning into some sort of big fucking "Goat-Man's a douchebag" thread!!
I've pissed so many people off! And everyone of them was not my intention!!
FUCK!!!

Night-Mare, if you are not too mad at me, of course you can still code the game.
I just hope I haven't made you mad now too :(

No point in being mad, I didn't say anything in the PM because your original coder had a legit reason not to reply, so I thought it would be unfair for you to just say that he can't do it anymore.
So I just let you guys get on with it.

Thank you for being so accepting!
I would love you coded my game! As long as you're still willing.

Could a mod or something lock this thread?
It is just a depressing thread for me now, making Toaster, and St1k so upset with me :(
