[Mygames19]

Q: Name (or username):
A: Sam, AKA Mygames19 or Classic Team

Q: Availability (how much time are you willing to put in?):
A : Depends on the day. I'm usually on for 3 hours in the afternoon and sometimes even an hour or two afterwords, depending on the night. (I'm on PST, BTW)

Q: Personal Skills (keep it relevant to the game production):

A: Plot Development
Voice Acting?
Scripting
Stage Design
Minimal Programming
2D Graphic Artist
Character Design
Storyboarding

Extended version:
I have had a few past experiences with developing Plots, Scripts and other small things through my own games. Fangames like Sonic A Negative Space and Sonic Omega focused heavily on this.

I'm not really sure about voice acting, I know how to control my voice pretty well to express characters and emotions, but I've never seriously tried any real voice acting.

Stage Design And Programming I've been working with since I started making my own games 6 years ago. Programming, however, has only been through Game Maker and it's programming language, GML. Anything outside of it is rather unknown to me. I know a little bit of VB and I'm currently learning Java at school.

2D Graphic Artist, Storyboarding and Character Design is something I've worked on since... Well, who knows when. I've been doodling as long as I can remember and I've only gotten better at it. Here's a few links you might want to check out, and they'll give you an idea of my talent.

My website - Contains demos of some Fangames I've been working on:

My DeviantART - I've got quite a bit of art on there. But don't be fooled, most of the content there is done on leisure, if I really wanted to I could really throw something special together in GIMP:

Q: Why do you want to become a part of our team?

A: I'm rather exited at the prospect of a group working together to create a game based on my favorite season of Sonic X. I've been toying with similar ideas myself, with my Wall-E Fangame taking the basic idea of turning a film or series of films into a game. It's not only that, though - I'm a avid Sonic fan. I enjoy all of the classic games, and, although most seem to hate the show, I really like it. (Well, the Japanese version moreso.) I also fell I could really bring something to the table, even if it is at least something.

Q: Any additional comments or questions?

A: What kind of software should I get experience in so that I can help?
Is there anything you'd like me to do to further convince you of my talents?
When do I start? ( )

I like what you've got so far, you seem quite experienced. Right now, we don't know for sure what software we will be using for this game. We have a few options. For the graphic design and 3D modeling, we will use either Blender, a free open-source program, or Autodesk Maya 2010, a professional program that can sometimes cost up to $5,000. We might be able to get it for cheap. For the game engine, we may use Blender, although I stumbled upon a different program that can import Blender projects, and it's got a much better game engine than Blender. It's called Unity3D. We haven't officially decided on anything, but we'll just keep doing our own thing until things get serious.

BTW, you don't have to show us what you're capable of, but you're more then welcome to post any sketches or ideas in the appropriate forums.

Hello Mygames, and welcome to the team!

I'm glad to see a few new faces lately, and it makes it even more exciting to work on this project

As far as software is concerned, like Hookonsonic2 said, we'll probably be working with Blender. What is this other software you mentioned though Hook? I'll have to look into it.

[hookonsonic2]

It's called Unity3D. From what I've heard, its a program made more as a game engine, and it's game engine is much better than Blender's, so I've heard. I haven't actually tried it out, because I haven't done enough work to make a decent test game, yet. From what I've heard, the program is completely free.

This Unity3D, can it what can it do, aside from import other models and act as a game engine. Can you animate very well with it, or is it one of those things that you just sort of have to guess and when you test it out,you see the results. One last thing: On Unity3D, does it require any programs to run to its full efficiency, or does it provide its own scripting? You know, Blender uses Python, others use Adobe, etc.

[hookonsonic2]

I haven't tested it out yet, to be honest. Maybe that will be one of my projects in the near future.
