What's your favorite game from the game ideas for authors thread

[Xavier_Kirton]

Currently In editing check comment 60 for the main idea of this

[Goddess]

Is there any way you could provide a bit more information?

[Moreau]

You might want to add a little more sizzle to that steak there, bucko…

[Maxmansung]

Is this based on the “Average Joe” idea? You might struggle to get people to take on ideas that arent their own.

Unfortunately most people struggle to write the stories they’ve already got planned, let alone someone elses story.

With all due respect, you are not the community. So unless you’ve got more people backing you up the title of this topic is quite misleading.

If this is an idea for a co-op project, that’s fine, but know that there’s already one in the works at the moment.

Idea: forum community game

Update: just to inform everyone, yes, this idea is still going ahead and going well I must say. However, we are looking for more writers that want to be involved. If anyone is interested in being a part of this project let me know and I will give you a list of genres that are already taken. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to stick to a set genre, as you can combine different genres, but does make sure that authors are not writing similar stories.

So if it’s something like that, you’ve got some competition

)but to take up one idea of a person idea on my game ideas for author just like a little something for them to feel proud about

I think I get it, but I’m not sure what you mean. Those game ideas are already up for grabs. If someone wanted to write one, they could just do so, from what I understand.

@Xavier_Kirton

the community needs you

@Xavier_Kirton

We need one of you or more

@Xavier_Kirton

We need you authors

Well someone open a window because it’s about to get very heated

[Cecilia_Rosewood]

So it is some sort of co-op project after all? That would be awesome Just know that something like that is pretty difficult to organize, especially if you haven’t got a pretty clearly outlined plan of approach. (Things can get pretty chaotic if people don’t know what’s expected of them and what rules and guidelines to follow.)

[Xavier_Kirton]

Alright so leave your most favorite idea from the other tread and we shall see who the winner is.

[Xavier_Kirton]

Also would it be fair if the community voted on there favorite author to write because some might not want to do it others are too busy. Advice

[Xavier_Kirton]

But the chances are so slim because are you going to right now go and get an idea and write about. I would think not

[Cecilia_Rosewood]

I… quite frankly still don’t really know what you’re actually trying to do here, but if you’re trying to motivate aspiring writers to go and write something this is probably not the best approach. Especially since Lordirish’s 4th annual CS-comp is right around the corner (and that one’s got actual prizes to motivate people). Of course if I’m misinterpreting things, feel free to enlighten me.

[Just_Because]

Are you kidding me? I’ve got tons of ideas I need to put to paper.

I know there was a great quote from @Maxmansung or someone, but I can’t find it…

@Moreau

Answer: In theory yes, but people aren’t especially inclined to do the gruntwork for someone else to write the story, to the point where it is against forum rules to ask for coders. I would recommend that instead of hoping that someone will be willing to do all of the dull work so that you can sprinkle your story on top, instead look for someone who’s willing to talk you through some of the basics of the coding, and take it from there.

Also, I already have three WiP’s, two of which I really need to update.

Was that too accusative?

[Xavier_Kirton]

@Just_Because

In theory yes, but people aren’t especially inclined to do the gruntwork

See people don’t like doing the grunt work with other people’s ideas basically also what are the three you have in progress thought you only had one

I know, I’m so excited!

@Cecilia_Rosewood

Of course if I’m misinterpreting things, feel free to enlighten me.

… was that sarcastic?

@Xavier_Kirton I have two here on the forums, and one in private.[quote=“Xavier_Kirton, post:16, topic:15923”]

… I don’t get your point.

[Xavier_Kirton]

Kinda but moving on if the community choosed you to write the story would you do it

[Just_Because]

Probably not. It wouldn’t be as interesting for me.

A great honour? Yes.

A lot of pressure? Yes.

Something I will ever actually want to do? No.

It would feel alien to me if I ever “used” someone else’s ideas like that.

@Xavier_Kirton

Question would you still make it good if it’s not as interesting to you

Simply put? No.

[Xavier_Kirton]

Exactly so you and other authors would not pick any ideas off there, also is there one good one on there isn’t yours
Question would you still make it good if it’s not as interesting to you

[Maxmansung]

No, I don’t think anyone would write a story just because the community chose them to. The only fun part of writing us bring the images and ideas in your head to reality. The horrible part is actually doing it.

Why do the horrible part for someone else?
