This is not a team request ...

Can you guys help me out by listing people/teams that you would consider established dbpro developers (i.e. they have released at least one finished project that you would consider good). The reason is quite simply that I want to help out a team that I know will actually finish a game. I've got a bunch of things I can show off to impress said person/team (hopefully! ) so all I need is names and sites so I can find out who I think would be a good bunch of guys to help out.

Cheers for your help. Get listing.

Insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

This is not a team request. It's a request for people to list known developers so I can do some research into them. The fact that I might use the information to contact teams later on is irrelevant. Trust me, this would be locked within about 5 seconds in the team request forum.

Fallout:
I can't think of a team that fits your description. The main reason is that DBP is still kinda fresh and the teams using it are even fresher. Most completed projects are made in DB. My one man team Digital Awakening have completed one game: The Magic Land, click on my sig for my site. I'm not looking for any team members at the moment.

Atari:
He is not requesting a team. He want to know the good teams out there so he figure out one to join.

A-Sock-Ellipse NOW! bwhahahha. Good stuff. Nice site btw.

Yep, I'm not making a team request because I don't want to form a team or have a team try and grab me. I just want a nice list of decent development teams/people so that I can see what they've done, see what they might be lacking (and see if my skills could cover this) and then maybe see if they'd like me to help out afterwards. It also gives me a chance to play some of the better completed db games, so long as people throw up names!

My suggestion : go to Program Announcements, so you can see for yourself what's good or not.
I believe there are some really good games, but don't only look at the new ones ... for Example, I still play Sunday drivers at my spare time

Good idea. I'll go have a look. However, I'm bound to miss some good ones, so any names would still be useful. I'm looking for things like
Banshee Studios etc. Just list em off if you know of any.

Yep, just did a google search. Found a download site after dropping the s from "designs". *Clips Mattman round the ear for giving Fallout the wrong name* Actually, those games are looking good. Shame it's only a download site. I'm assuming Ermes Design is one guy?

@Fallout: this will be very hard as almost ALL people claim they have a "official" company and put stupidness like "TM" next to their game names. Well maybe I can think of a few...
hmm..
uh...
um...

see? I don't know if half of em are "registered" and can actually complete a project. But most of the time you can tell if they are official or not just by looking at their site and programs made.

I'm kinda asking people to say yes, I've played a game, it was good and it was by insert name here. Don't care if they're genuine really, so long as the people behind the name actually made the game and it was half decent.

Fallout:
The thing is that most DB/DBP games are not yet completed. Come back in a year and I'm sure most of us can tell you about some good completed games.

Things you can check out though:
Riftspace (movie in last newsletter), the guy behind that game have made a few Star Wraith games.

Kain http://www.shrikesoftware.com/ are making loads of games, some are completed. If your a good artist then you're exactly what he needs.

@Deadglory

Point taken, and thanks for those links. I remember the 8 towers game from a long time ago. Having a look now. I should probably expand by saying that they don't necessarily have to have finished the game, but so long as it looks like its going to get done because it's got past the "I've made the main player, and he can jump" stage, then that qualifies too. Why do I feel like I'm backpedalling? Basically, if a decent game has been or is being made, and the person isn't going to jack it in like 99% of the db projects started, and they have a website, then I'm interested!

@Andy

Nah, that's a slightly larger gun, but the ego just makes you sound convincing as you do it.

The banshee site does look good, although unfortunately on dial-up I can't be arsed to download anything. I'll check out some games when I get back to broadband.

Anymore ideas people?

Well, I'll try to list some of the people(and teams) that I'd personally consider working with because of reputation.

DeadGlory
DG(and team) have already proven their success.

RPGamer and Team
Looks to be a major RPG that will come out and be commercial.

Raven
Established programmer. Havn't seen anything finished, but I know he can code and has shown off some nice work.

Preston
Will eventually be one of the better DB programmers if he keeps up his work.

Banshee Studios
Probebly the most successful Dark Basic team around

TGC,Rob K,Ian M
DLL says it in one word, although theres much more to be added.

Jaze
Although he's new on the forum, he's not new to programming.

David T
I've been awaiting his alienware entry with much anticipation, hopefully you'll be able to get an idea of his talents then.(Alien Mercenaries in Space is is called?)

indi
Just look through the code snippets and you'll see some of his work.(Not to mention Dwarven Tales )

uwdesign
Just take a look at there website. One of the most established DB(P) programmers around.(http://underwaredesign.com/)



Yellow
I don't see myself as "pro","intermediate",or "newbie" but a better word would be "learning". DBP is my first language that I really consider to be absorbed into. I'm in all in one team, meaning I do all my programming,models,textures,music,etc.

Really to many to list, for I'll add some more later as I look around the forums.

Note: No offense to anyone who wasn't listed, I'm just thinking off my head and this is my personal opionion on Fallout's Request.



A book? I hate book. Book is stupid.

As you can see, we're fairly relaxed around here...

Can I ask you a Question?
What is it?
It's an interrogative form of sentence, used to test knowledge. But that's not important right now.

We'll be most likely looking for some more in-house people in the not too distant future. Although, you'll be working with a different language though. We'll most likely require 2D pixel artists/animators and some programming beta testers.

The only Db/Dbpro project left for me is the release version Shamus. Although I assume Kohai is still on top of that..

* Criteria..

-- dependable, I don't care if your house collapses, your abducted by aliens and rectal probed. You must finish what you start.

-- Team orientated.

Thanks for the information guys ...

@megaton

Useful link. Will check that out now.

@Yellow

That's what I was after. Nice one. I see all these people around in forum making posts, and you can judge who's knowledgable and whos all mouth, but it's not always easy to see who actually gets stuff done. I'll poke around some of the things those people have put together.

@Adr

Next time I see you on ICQ, and I'll tell you what you can do with your relaxed attitude.
