P.S. I never want to meet the person that was impressed enough with this post to push the rating up to 4 Stars..

For starters I'd take that enthusiam and apply it equally(if not exponentially) to school. You aren't making a great impression with the WoW-phonics. No offense man, but put some effort into communication, otherwise you'll never be able to collaborate on a project.P.S.

In the old days, publishers used to remove as much punctuation as possible from manuscripts to save on ink... I commend your contemporary efforts to help GG save server space.

so like how does one just talk on and on without making sentences clear do you just keep rambling like this or do you just not worry about when to start when to end when to rest and when to start a uh ok i forgot what i was trying to say i guess i was saying something about nothing or nothing about something yeah thats right punctuation tends to help stuffs and uh oh yeah and stuff would be bad if a game was actually like that with no way to tell what the subject of the sentece was about or what was trying to be said

There will always be naysayers and haters to discourage you. Take it as a lesson to improve and let it fuel your ambition. There's no such thing as can't. Success is a hard, long, and lonely road, Failure is easy, short, and full of company, what will you choose?

How old are you? Go to gamedev.com, gamasutra.com, and get some basic game development education. Come up with a synopsis that includes genre, platform, setting, and description. Write a game treatment and then start outlining your game doc. Afterwards you can start asking for assistance with the technical specifications. If you put 200% effort into your project you may find someone to offer 5-10% of effort to your cause. Education starts in the books first, then dive into the code, then gather some basic art skills. Then you can put a prototype together on your lonesome. Hopefully your prototype gets people interested and then the volunteers might come. Good Luck because your way behind the power curve. Hit me up after you finish a treatment and I'll look over it for ya and give you some tips. For a three month project write the smallest game you can possibly imagine. Something around the Breakout, asteroids, r-type, or space invaders level. If you want to be bold you can probably get an old school mario or zelda type prototype done with the content packs. Avoid a 3d game because that will more tool knowledge that you most likely lack. Whatever you do though, don't quit. I don't care if it takes you 20 years to build your game. ~GlennThere will always be naysayers and haters to discourage you. Take it as a lesson to improve and let it fuel your ambition.
