Hey. I dunno how many of these kinda requests you guys get, so forgive me if I'm number 1000 on the pile.

I just thought of a cool idea for a DS game but I know nothing about coding. My speciality is sprites, backgrounds, etc. So, I was wondering if someone would wanna collaberate with me. I could handle the graphics and you could do the coding.

My idea goes a bit like this:


(2 minute rough sketch)

I doubt it's an original idea for a DS game, but that doesn't mean it can't be a great game.

Here's a small sample of my pixels:

I've worked on a few homebrew PC games before and (I'm working on 2 now) with another coder (who isn't insterested in DS games), so you could say I have experience with developing.

Here're links to the 2 games we've actually completed

Looks really awesome. I know a few people including myself who are doing Software Development for our final year and would love some of your art. Unfortunately we're not doing it for DS.

Hey. Throw me some details of your games (or are they apps?) and I'll see if I can help.

The projects are written in Visual Basic. I'll let them know and forward your email address so they can contact you directly if they're interested.

In two weeks time im going to begin work on a game called Sperm Racer, its basically like a micromachines racer but you have to press left and right to move forward (simulating wiggling) and the finish line is a giant bloby egg thing.

There are a whole bunch of other ideas for this game but you get the basics. I do need an artist so if youd be interested in this game, after ive done it id be willing to work on your game, bear in mind i have no previous experience with games on the DS though.

oh yeah im a big fan of customizing games so hopefully ill be able to make all the levels for any of my games XML documents that can be added to the filing system and loaded.

It all depends on how much work is involved. I'm working on 2 other games right now you see.

If you can get an engine running with temp graphics, I'll get an idea of what I'll need to do.

Sounds good, I'll get these exams out of the way and the hopefully I can get to work.
