Hi, I with a few people are trying to start a remote game-dev studio inspired by Motion Twin, we would horizontally make decisions on what game idea to work and we would horizontally decide salary if we ever got to the stage of creating games with commercial potential. If anyone is interested you can join us, we are so far mostly interested in using Godot for development cause it is FOSS. We have not incorporated yet anywhere because we have just started and I think that for a long time this will be a part time project with various people having different amount of time to work on the project. If anyone is interested then we can get in touch. We are anarchists/libertarian socialists and we think of this as a political project too.
I don’t think I specifically invite users to design process, only devs, artists, designers etc. I think we are only interested in people willing to contribute and that is clear to me given how I’ve written the post. And I don’t think we plan our games to be FOSS, well maybe first few that we deem not good enough to get money from. But I personally am not against piracy, so if someone doesn’t want to pay they can just pirate it.
Sorry about the confrontational tone, I am curious and slightly interested, I have two designs of non-violent anarchist-minded games I am slowly making but I have seen sooo many projects like that go wrong. So far what skills have been gathered? Are there people who have experience in shipping a game?
I don’t have game dev experience but can code, did work through godot 2d tutorial and it seems fine and one person can do textures. About the rest we will see if they actually contribute, if yes then we will have some extra developers.
