General discussion / Re: Trying to find a developer to help us build a game inspired by Worms
« on: February 10, 2022, 06:39 PM »
We're well enough funded to get started, the mint process is akin to crowdfunding in early stage equity markets and allows us to hire better people, move more quickly and deliver on the vision more comprehensively. Like with equity crowdfunding we'll gain an early supporter base of super-fans with a vested interest in the success of the project. Honest answer is there's nothing stopping us abandoning the project post mint, that's a reality of almost any fundraise however and a consideration point for any early investors. Our business is in a new space that overlaps art, de-fi, crypto and gaming. Whilst the majority of projects in the NFT space do fall under the category of quasi-scam there are a growing number that have built partnerships with global brands, have raised significant capital to build awesome consumer experiences and are run by seasoned teams that see the bigger picture. You could run a scam if you were that we ethically inclined but that would be incredibly short sighted imho. We have modest game dev experience in-house but will be looking to partner with either a small number of freelancers or a studio depending on the success of mint.

Anyways I'm not here to defend the accusation that I am running a scam, I'm not but I appreciate there's no way for those on this forum to know that. I'm not asking you for any money, I'm simply looking for passionate game developers who are interested in the space. Thanks for your views.

I can understand that reservation and appreciate that gaming represents a welcome departure from the world of commerce that's become hard to tolerate. Also agree that there is an abundance of scams in the space which is horrible. Our view is that it's not the players but the studios that will be disrupted. In many games you can buy power ups and packs of 'gems' for extortionate sums and we believe the players should benefit from that financial system rather than just being the ones supplying the liquidity. It's nascent and there are plenty of questions still to answer but I appreciate your perspective.

 I'd genuinely like to hear what the arguement is against NFT gaming, not to incite but to hear some balanced views if poss.

Roger that, thanks for the suggestions of other games, that's useful.

We're inspired by WA for sure, in that we're building a turn based, time limited, war strategy game.

Agree that Team 17 have overly milked the franchise, it's sad to see...I'm defo not from Team 17!

Don't mind sharing what we're building...see www.warsnails.com.

If anyone else is keen to help out on consulting/advice/how to avoid black holes do shout.

Hi, thanks for responding.

I've tried to connect with a few people on LinkedIn that I thought might be him...no joy across social networks.

Found an email for Cybershadow but no reply as yet and Andy I've tried everything under the sun...even writing snail mail to his address.

How would you suggest I contact Deadcode?

ps - Awesome handle, was close to getting a tattoo of Guybrush Threepwood, in my top 3 best games of all time.

Dear all,

I've been desperately trying to get hold of a developer with experience in building a Worms-like game. We're a well funded project and are really at this stage looking for consultants to start with who may want to get more meaningfully involved as things develop. We're looking for insights, and a steer in a number of directions. We're an international team with a great track record and really hope we can find somebody here who can help.

My first aim was to try and get hold of David "Deadcode" Ellsworth, Cybershadow or Andy Davidson but it seems very difficult to connect with these guys.

Any ideas or offer of help would be wonderful.

Thanks in advance,
Metaman
