What sort of noise would that be? I'm having trouble visualizing.

Kinda like that odd musical cue they played in the animal planet documentaries before a leopard jumped on something.

Wow, really great response here! Alright, here's how it's going to go down. I'll select the players (I'm going to try and get a nice even mix of designers, creatives, and artists), then I'll give you a prompt (Which will include a randomly generated videogame name, it's genre, and a few keywords to describe the asset itself along with it's type). You'll have four days to complete it, which probably cover planning, design, and perfection with an extra day for screwing around. It'll be a close shave, but I think you guys can manage it, it'll be fun, and it's probably a good example of how fast development has to go for some games. Sound good for everyone?

Really? I imagined it being the sound of a rustling bush and the occasional sound of a twig snapping.

I'm up for creative, with a side of art.

What? No music or SFX section? Not that I'd be able to do that anyways...  :P

That's part of creative. I had a bit of trouble with making sure designers and creatives didn't step on each other toes, let's hope it worked.

I would be in primarily for design, and maybe occasionally art.

If there are people available for each roll, you could even run a "Game Jam" type thing and over a few days have everyone collaboratively build a game.

This is when I imagine the hilarity which may happen if certain things are glichy. Such as targeting your own body parts to eat.

You eat your own head
YOU HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN!

That's a good idea, I'll keep a note of that for future rounds. Perhaps I'd start small and just up the scale a bit: instead of just designing a single asset, you have to do every aspect of a level. That means the level's design itself along with all the enemies, story, and items inside it.

I would be most interested in the creative part, if only because that's the only one I'm good at.

Creative and art is where I'm at, probably.
It's either gonna fail miserably or we make the next big thing of the gaming industry.

I seriously doubt it'll not be the former, but we've all seen stranger things happen, especially when Bay12 is involved, so...

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Creative with a side of design.

Though it's unlikely I could participate in the first round, due to current workload.

My dreams are not unlike yours - they long for the safety, and break like a glass chandelier.
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.
And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.
