Welcome to the unofficial CA fake-game project! Finally we look forward to using this forum for what the description says it should be: the development of art for imaginary game concepts to give artists insight and pre-industry experience
Each project will be two weeks in length, starting on the first and third Saturday of each month. For each project there's a designated team leader who acts as both game designer and art director, in very basic fashions. On Saturday, week 1, s/he posts their game concept, and spends the next day choosing his team of artists. From there, the team chooses a goal and for the next two weeks, they go at it!
Other important details INCLUDE!
The game platform will cycle between projects. The first one will be a Video Game, and the next Pen and Paper, then Board Game, and after that it cycles back to Video game.
Artists, don't be surprised if you apply and end up offered a position different from what you originally wanted, or even something you've never done before. Expanding your horizons is fun and vital, right
For designers: The current planned project structure is that on Saturday night, you post a brief game summary, and over the next 24 hours you review potential team members and contact them with the position you would like to have them in. From there, the structure of deadlines and workload is up to YOU.
In the future we hope to add such luxurious features as: Multiple teams in competition with one another. Results judged by a professional or mod. Possible pairing with a game programming forum so that some game concepts could go on to really be games, or so that the actual project could shift into production of working game demos.
Lastly, a note for all current and future participants. A train wreck can be just as insightful into how a train should work as a properly running one, so in this learning environment, failure is nothing to be afraid of.
