Victor:

That's a pretty good idea. Lets discuss that and others in detail at the "get to know you" meeting. Take care!

I will establish a bulletin board host by the end of the weekend. I will post the address and then schedule a "get to know you" meeting. <br/>

Seeing all of this talk about a new game, let me present my design team.<br/>
<br/>
We're a voluntary group trying to design a free mod for SP:WaW called SP:Civil War. Even without program changes, the new ...

<t>Oops, I meant good point Challenge. In any case, I have 5 people who have shown interest in working on a project. Challenge makes a very good point in detailing what the project will be so perhaps others who are interested will join. <br/>
<br/>
Considering the response thus far, I think it is ...

<t>Jeffrey has a good point. At this time, however, we are trying to see who is interested in even working on a project. I have a game design I will submit myself and I hope others who are interested do the same. We can then, as a team decide on the chosen game concept. But I want to wait until we ...

<t>OK, that's fine. However, I disagree that one "must know how to program" to create a game. That was the reason for my post. One does not have to me a mechanic to design a car, so in that light, I see we have some programmers here. Does anyone want to to take this a bit further and actually ...

<t>I think that is a wonderful idea. All of us that are interested in creating such a new forum need to "ask nicely" as stated earlier and see what happens.<br/>
<br/>
As to my own situation, I appreciate the first post. It did certainly shed some light on the subject and was very informative. I do ...

<t>I have a question. What or whom should one contact regarding the design of a new game? I have started designing a new game but have no programming experience...everything is on paper at the moment. I would like to at least speak with someone out there that can program and would be willing to ...
