I’m hoping to get a development team together for at least this game I’m working at. I hope it can lead to a more permanent relationship.

The game is a strategy game, in which the player is commander of a fleet of space ships. It is meant to be a series, with a different character to play in each episode. This way, the player will learn about the series universe through different perspectives. I have to present those that are interested: my current progress (which is nonplayable but shows the battlesystem and the ai), and a document which explains the game design in further detail.

[The game so far](http://home.planet.nl/~bogaa096/Starfight/Alpha52.swf)  
[Concept document](http://home.planet.nl/~bogaa096/Starfight/StarfightConcept.pdf)

For those not wanting to read that whole pdf:

**Artist**  
Avatars\*  
Space ships\* (optional)  
Backgrounds (for stores, bars, spacestations)

\*some background will be provided for you to base your designs on. Some of the ships already have a temporary design (which can be seen in the demo)

**Writer**

Characters  
Episode pitches which  
… are characterdriven (characters evolve during episode)  
… have about 5 plotpoints (or in other words: 3 acts)

**Work Method**

Writer designs the _backstory_  
Artist designs the _look_  
Coder designs the _gameplay_

1  
Writer writes his first idea

2  
Artist gives feedback on writer and/or coder if it infringes on “a cool look” and/or a crude design  
Coder gives feedback on artist and/or writer if it infringes on “nice gameplay” and/or how this plays out in the game  
(this is actually a discussion)

3  
Writer rewrites  
repeat steps 2 and 3 until a satisfying result is created.

**Payment**

I have a more artistic way of aproaching this, not a commercial one. First we make the episode we want to make, and then we’ll look for sponsership/licensing. Cash is a bonus! However, I do expect a level of skill in which this should easily be possible.

**Interested?**

Mail me with:  
Your ideas on the characters/plot outline/the actual scenario if you’re a _writer_  
Your ideas/designs on the characters described in the document or the ships in the demo if you’re an _artist_
