A Community Project Options

[Kaust]

I've been talking this over with some of the staff and so far they all seem pretty keen on the idea.
Its basically what the title says, a game that is built by the community for the community. Participation can be anything from spriting and faceart to just mapping out a town. Everything a game needs to be completed, RRR Needs You
(There was also the suggestion of Rev Points for participation, though that hasn't been confirmed).

So basically this post is to establish who would be interested in such a project, what engines you have access to (could always download a demo of another if we end up using one you don't have) and really just any ideas, suggestions or questions you may have.

@vvalkingman: Yeah, you're probably right about making it look like a more serious affair. When I posted this I just wanted to know if people would actually be interested in contributing.

@Cleril: We haven't got any ideas yet, I was hoping more people would say what they wanted rather than just suggestions. You scoundrels and your manners.

@amerk: I get people have their own projects, for the community and for themselves, I just figured if 50 members dropped off a map Bam! 50 maps. Couple of people make a custom sprite, got our main party. I don't expect too many members to take it seriously, just drop something in the box now and then. Also...
...I better be in your game >:]

Yes, I have you down as one of the sprites Penguin never made. I'll probably use CharCreator as I'm no spriter, but I'm going to try to get all current staff in, even if it's a small part. Some staff in there (like Redd) have left since, but it'd be too much work to go back and rework everything, but I'll definitely try to get all current staff in as well.

I'm not a great mapper, but I may drop a few I've created for my game into the comm project for others to use, once a drop box is set up.
