Game Developers. Game Maker Role Play. Recruitment finished.
« on: December 06, 2010, 06:45:25 pm »

Concept is simple: You are a collection of indie game developers who have been recruited by a triple A company to make a game for them. You have almost no funding, you are all stuck in the company's janitor's closet and have to bring your own computers. The plus side is that you can make any game you want.

Character sheet:

Name: What she/he called?
Internet Name: What is her nickname on the internet?
Hit Game: This should be made up. The game that got your character noticed. What is it's name and genre?
Games he/she loves: What is your character's favorite game?
Gender: Is he/she a dame or a wise guy?
Attire: What does your character wear?
Personality: What he/she like?
Job On The Team: What is your character's contriubation?

My character.

Name: Cassandra "Cassy" Kraw
Internet Name: Cas_Bas
Hit Game: The Adventures Of Detective Frank, a point and clicker.
Games he/she loves: She loves Katamari Damacy and Minecraft.
Gender: Female.
Attire: A brown fedora, dress and an overcoat. She also wears glasses.
Personality: She is incredibly strange. She is very good at making games, but it's almost like she is living in a dimension 23 dimensions away from us. She sometimes trips over nothing, and also occasionally just forgets her name. She fancies herself either a detective or a "Dame" even though she is too spaced out to be a detective and has glasses, so she can't be a "Dame."
Job On The Team: Programmer.

Join up now! 5 people required!

Note: No idea of how to program required! You can just skip right over the coding bits.

Attire: Brown pants, glasses, a white shirt, scuffed up brown shoes, and a broken watch, a cellphone used to check the time and make calls

You don't have to say you are a wise guy or a broad. You can say you are a male or female.

Dude. You started six games in the last seven days, including two in the last four hours. You need to chill out and focus on one or two instead of making a new thread on every whim you get.

This'll be the last one, I promise. Plus, several of them have died.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

We can start tomorrow, when you don't have to manage a multiplayer at absurd hours.

Hey, this hour isn't absurd! It's insanely idiotic and possibly unhealthy. Total difference!

Anyway, I have done a ton of Roleplays in my time. Don't worry, five people isn't too bad. Better then bloody 10 people, anyway.
