I am seeking a game idea to develop. It can be any genre or theme. I have not determined what the final destination of the game is to be, but it could be anything. I have time, skills, resources and energy for developing a game, but I do not have a game concept. Contact me if you can help.

As for a game concept, i've been into MMO games lately, those are fun, but they are the hardest to make. If your interested, I know some C++, OpenGL, and some webbased programming too, i'm looking for experience but I've never gone to school for it yet. So just in case you want some help, i'm really busy so I could probably only give an hour or two a day, but once summer starts I can give alot more (in about 1-2 months).

You are quite what I was hoping to find. What I need is something to start with, a basic game concept. An idea that we can develop and plan out. I don't need a lot of time from you, but I do need communication. I am also willing to take on more than one project so if any others of you want to respond, please do.

I would love a Shooter Game, Something Like the Sniper Elite for the PS2. The game is like no other. It's online play is unmatched. A Great WWII Sniper Game, maybe a more modern Sniper Game Like In Iraq that's what I'm waiting for the Creaters to make. I think if I was going to create a game it would definetly be a multiplayer shooter game. It attracts Dedicated Players. Shooter Games is the way to go.

I think it would be cool to make an undersea game with mermaids or something like that, i can do concept art, but nothing fancy.

I have a major strategy game with all the art, the music, sound and special effects, voices, everything needed complete - it's a game we developed independently, and production came to a halt when our lead programmer was 'bought off' by a major company. If you're interested I can send you screenshots, etc. If you're interested we can discuss the game concept in more detail. All the art etc. is equal to industry standards.

As I said, if you're interested we can discuss the game concept in more detail - when we discuss the concept, and if you like it, you can either develop a brand new engine of your own, or complete the game's present engine, which is about 70% done, I'd say. PM me for more details if you'd like to hear more.

Good luck, and take care.

I would like to see something like Halo come out. With a good storyline, some great graphics and good looking characters.

Or, try using XNA and make the next Xbox Live Arcade game.

If you want to develop a shooter game, look into the Quake 3 engine or i can give you some of my java code for a clone of it completely written by me and 6 other people as a semester project. It is not complete but we have lots of important concepts and new technologies built into it. If you need help with collision detection or physics, i am a pro at them now and they are almost completely separate from the graphical part.

Since i have spent a semester writting a game, i will warn you that if you plaertn on writting if from scratch like we did, it will take you atleast a year of development by yourself to create anything good. We had 7 people and barely have a working product and it took us 4 months and 40,000 lines of code (production count only too). Before you even start writting a game start to plan out the models you are using for communicaiton between parts and how you plan on abstracting everything so that if one part changes, the whole game does not break. Feel free to PM me if you want some advice on it because when we started 4 months ago we knew it was a large project but about 2 months in you realize that it is about 40x larger than what you would ever expect because of all the small things one does not think about when you are conceptually creating a game.

Also, i know DirectX and OpenGL and do research with both so if you need help with those let me know. Finally, just some last minute advice, plan first then code or else you will hit a point where you have to rewrite the whole game to get it to work because you will have no other way to fix communication issues, concurrency issues, and finally gameplay issues because too many parts will be changing your information to the point you have no way to determine where your errors are coming from.
