What a good recruitment query template.

Hey!
Guys im a little new here so dont critisize the post. i thought it was quite clever.

I actually laughed. If you want someone to consider your offer you need to disclose more information. As the premise, maybe even a part of your design document? Who knows.
Anyway I'm ready to help you out with leadership if you need to, add me on my MSN. (Why not? I like helping people)

Considering he is looking for people for a portal mod, I think the post style was perfectly relevant.

Lol this post remind me of the old days, I thought summer is still a long way off. You are new but it doesn't mean you get a better flame shield. There are other threads out there that look more presentable which you can use as reference. But you didn't research at all and came up with a thread that you thought it is clever.

So I have to ask this, in what way do you see your post as clever? is it the big capitalize HELLO!? Or your insert your info bracket? In a way your post is dull and give little to no info about the project and what you do. You don't even know what name is your mod, I don't think you are prepare enough to post a recruitment thread.

Let me clear up a few things
1. i agree with everyone that critisized this post and i should have researched.
2. there was no name because at the time we didnt have a name
3. I would have added details if i had them. i had absolutely no details exept for what i have in this post.

so, i now have some details

1. we have the story worked out and involves a second test center set at the end of portal 1.
2. the antagonist will be another GLaDOS ai and there will be another ai trying to help you (not an ai, a real GLaDOS looking one)
3. there will be a new unnamed protagonist
4. The name will be Portal: Uncovered
5. we are only this far because we need more people to help (thats why i put up this thread in the first place)

i hope this clears up any questions you have had.

My suggestion is why not add more puzzle maps, thats why people play portal and portal mod.

Well, i guess i just had a good idea and wanted to make a story. Thats probably not a good explanation but thats the truth.

A Portal mod without puzzles? That's just insane.

i dont mean the mod wont have puzzle maps, i ment it will be a full mod instead of just a map pack. There will be puzzle maps

Guys this is a recruitment thread not an ideas/concept thread

Hes not asking for people to feedback about his idea nor criticize his recruitment post. Ask for more info or other things like that.. you know.. On Topic?
I Agree he should have added a bit more info about the game but thats no excuse to rip him apart.

Hnew whats your team currently? Is it just you? Because "PlasticRobot" is currently thinking about a portal mod and both of you want a story based mod that stays true to a few core mechanics of the portal series. I'd suggest you talk to him about collaboration, once you have a solid game design plan, concepts and story you will get much more attention and applicants to join your team.

Even if you have a team do talk to PlasticRobot, I just see you guys working really well together. Dunno why, i could just be crazy.

Thanks /Hark

we currently have 3 members and 3 more people that have messaged me about working on the mod

At the moment the portal: Uncovered mod because we still need coders, modelers, skin designers, and designers.
The mod is still being made but i have to contact some people, re-establish contact with some, and get them all together.
When we get more into design, we will create a page on Mod DB.
