I hope you share the finished product with us!

(BTW, I just reread what I wrote, and I might have sounded rude. Apologies if so.)

This might just fit your bill:

Crytek is releasing it’s new engine and tools for free to students, and offering a lower price to indie developers. If I had a team to help me out I would jump on that and start creating the next indie hit. But alas, I have no developer/artists friends. All my friends suck ☹

Ah, sorry to both of you. The email notification apparently didn’t want to let me know there were new replies :smack:

If I do manage to make something playable, I’ll definitely share. And no worries, I know tone is very hard to get across.

Ooh, neat. And as for not having developer/artist friends, that’s what bribery is for 😛
