im thinking of starting a mod team. who would be willing to join? Thread

If you seriously want a team, let me give you a few tips:
First, for god sake, use proper pronunciation. I'm, not im. Simple things like that make you look much more professional and will increase your chances of possibly getting you a team together.

Second: Have SOMETHING to show. A basic story, a few models, anything. People just Won't sign up to a team with nothing.

Third: Tell people what YOU can do. From my experience, a leader has to do something, He/She can't just tell people what to do, at least at the start. Perhaps later, when you have more team members and more demand for a leader figure, to unite and direct the team, then you can settle down into a less of a creation role and more of a PR and Leader role.

Just some tips, take them or leave them. In response to your thread, Do as I advise and create a basic story/Have a few ideas, And I'll be willing to do what I can. I Model, but have skills in Texturing, Story writing and other areas. PM me.

I'd like to join, but I'm not a programmer. I do, however, have a lot of cool ideas about all the games I like, so I'd really like to give my suggestions, concepts, sketches, even my knowledge of certain areas (firearms, history, etc.) if you'd be willing to consider it.
PM me whenever you want...

I have no experience whatsoever, but I'm looking to join a team to learn. I'm down to do some simple little stuff and take busy work off your hands. I'm a pretty quick learner so I imagine I can be pretty helpful at taking care of smaller things.

Anyways, I agree with all of this. Me and my friend are making a HL2 mod and we came to the conclusion of
"Before we ask people to help, we need stuff to show off. So that's why we make a demo."
Very few people who know what they're doing would be willing to help you without you showing off some WIP's, Concept art, hell even a basic story outline is better then nothing.

Can't agree more, if you're making a mod you should not start it with the idea of "Hey, I wanna make en epic shooter mod for hl2!" but you should start with concrete plans and make goals that are reachable, sometimes it's best to wait with making a game until you have enough sketches, concept art, storyline, etc...

Then, when the concrete plan is made, you can try to find a team and explain them in detail what you want, you can't be like "Uhh... Idk" but you have to know what you are doing.

When you got a team, you can start making goals, when your goals are set... Then you can start the mod making.

Please for everyone who reads this, starting a mod is not a "1,2,3 job", it requires good and careful planning and some thought before you can create one.

Thank you, AssassinAlex18

Well, I'm glad to hear that! Does anyone have some sketches or plans about the mod you want to create?
