Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know that I just made a contribution to the repository that uses Git LFS for the game assets like dlls and sounds. So now if you clone and pull the repo, you should be able to build the code and test the current state of the project. Which, to be honest, isn't much, but just to ensure the code is indeed working. Thanks again Nolan for the suggestion to use Git LFS. Really handy!
We now need an idea for the kind of game or games we are going to develop. There is some discussions going on in the Skype group, so feel free to join and participate. I also have a TeamTalk server on my domain. Maybe we can get that going for us to talk.

I'm not a contributor to the project, but I would like to thank kaigoku and all the others for providing more info on how to use versioning-control software like Git!

I'd love to see either A.  A horror atmosphere post apocolyptic survival type thing with jumpscares, E.G. abandoned school with ghosts, space station with aliens, abandoned military base with radioactive mutants what ever, where you can't do much but run.
Or B. a stealth game where you mostly avoid fights, and use suppressed weapons, hand to hand, knives ETC to take out targets or get specific documents, with limited ammo and possibly a time limit.
Both of those things would be a bit of a breath of fresh air IMO, at least in this community...  And wouldn't require the drama or headache of a multiplayer game.

I suggest creating a game emulating a film even if not an entire film, some scenes will be ossum.
For example, you could develop a level to be the fight with smaug in The hobit, another could represent the great battle with orks, nasguls, ents and gods know what from "The two towers, lord of the rings".

Just change the coins to something else that fits the theme better then maybe?  I mean we already have too many games with coins and powerups on a grid, we don't really need more.

I want to help in developing, but I can't use skype. Can I fork the repository and do something from todo list, then send the pull request?

Well I am no coder, but if you need a beta tester either in source or compiled, as well as sound desighn, I can probably help.
I have access to a few free and some payed libraries gdc mainly and a few others.
I have a workstation with 16gb ram and one of the semi latest 2nd generation ryzen5 cpus.
I allready use github to test beatstar sources and npm.
If you need me I am here, I also have a load of time as my work is freelance contract.
While that has occasionally landed me a high paying contract, most of them are reasonable, bar a few days a year, where I have government research which is worth more than any opensource project is in fact its my most highly payed gig of all, I should be able to handle most things unless it falls on weird days in spring, mid summer or winter.
So basically if you want something and I am not about I am grinding my nose somewhere else for someone else, for cash and a meal so yeah bar that I can work all day and night.
My timezone is gmt+12 hours, so for those of you on the other side of the world its probably likely I can't participate actively in any group else be outside the descussions but I can certainly talk on here, be in some email descussion group, etc.
Skype, well I never liked the interface but if you guys are interested, I can setup a descussion group on groups.io for the project if people want to talk on there.
It would be easier for me to well do whatever with that though I probably won't be talking all the time.
When I did run on a skype group, I spent time reading messages and well I couldn't really be active.
As long as you take that I am going to potentially answer questions up to a day behind then I can do it.
Oh thats also why unless you ask I won't attend any audio conferences because timezone wize its just a total bastard.
If you are in the us or europe then time is backward for me.
If you are in some island nation or something like argenteena or something really weird maybe I can manage it but yeah.
Oh and if you want me to test online my time will be limited due to timezone.
Now if you are ok for that, but still think there is room for me to be night watchman or something thats fine.
If not, oh well at least I put something up here.
Sounds like you are getting enough interest.
