Dear thinking with portals community,
me and a small team of around 10 people all around the world are making an epic Mod, we are using the source engine.if you are a talented programmer looking for that big thing to get you noticed, this is it.

but if getting noticed is not enough for you, you'll also get a big share of what the game makes
programmers will get (estimate)15-30% overall profit
animators will get (estimated) 15-25% overall profit

here is what were looking for:
modeler,animator (both)
artist (concept and textures)
Character Development Artist
programmer
mappers
if the job you want is not there you may still be hired if we think your good enough

To Apply
just tell us what position you are interested in, a brief description of what to want to gain from working with us and a picture or Video of any previous work and send it to:

Sounds like an interesting project. Are you going to be putting this on Steam Greenlight?

Also if it isn't a huge secret: what is the mod going to be? If you want people to join your team, at least tell them what they might be doing .

This is what I read: "We're making the best mod ever, join us! There might be money!" the end.
Would be nice to know anything at all before jumping on the boat...

Promising to pay people when you can't even discuss what you'd like them to work on, or even provide a website or other media regarding the project. Yeah, seems like another over-ambitious Kizzycocoa-esque character.

What did Kizzycocoa do?

@ChickenMobile: the mod is a banjo-kazooie mod and it most likely be on greenlight it is not a huge secret but the less people who know the better
@CaretCaret: the post was more for getting people to email me so we can talk more then hiring them at that point. eg email me to ask about the positions
@wstrika: if you look at the post i never promised to "pay people" i promised that if the mod makes any money then you will get a cut of whatever it was, we know what we want everyone to do its just i am not discussing that on a post

well; a few general things would be useful:
1) how big do you want the team to be
2) how big will your levels be
3) how may levels will there be
4) what's the timeframe of your release
5) what information do you need from us before we could join your team?

No thank you. Maybe if I was 10 years old.

He tried to make a mod for Portal 1 that allowed cooperative play, about two years before Portal 2 was released. It failed miserably, but he did the same thing as far as attempting to over-hype it while barely providing anything insofar as a screenshot.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Banjo-kazooie mod seems interesting. Having a collectable-based mod with multiple levels, and the design would be unique. I'd play it...

Don't think the big ol' grown-ups would agree, but lol

thanks uscobra11, but you people don't seem to understand why i posted this,
the point of this is so that people who can do the job (mapper, programmer etc) and when those people contact me they can ask more questions and get an the answers they need

and for those who think banjo kazooie isn't a game for everyone i direct you to this
jontron is a respected internet reviewer and egorapter is a very talented animator, voice actor,
thankyou

well; a few general things would be useful:
1) how big do you want the team to be: the team is about 15 right now and im planning to stop at 30
2) how big will your levels be: play banjo kazooie
3) how may levels will there be: there will be one hub world and 6 worlds in the hub
4) what's the timeframe of your release: one year
5) what information do you need from us before we could join your team? all we need from you is a resume from you with name, timezone, skype or steam name and some of your work

I think you're looking at this the wrong way mr yogert. Its not a privilege(don't know if that's the right word) for us to come work for you, its a privilege for you to have us work for you. (Hope you understand what I mean).
Most of the people here are capable of doing great things on their own. You have to convince us that working for you is better for us. And you're not really doing that...
And no, we wont even bother contacting you about it cause why wouldn't you just answer the questions here?

i do understand caret, and i thought that was how i was coming across,
as for the people being capable, theirs no question that most of the people on thinking with portals are talented, but there is a question on if they are willing.
as for not answering your questions, i am fairly sure that i have been answering all your questions,

programmers will get (estimate)15-30% overall profit
animators will get (estimated) 15-25% overall profit

1) how big do you want the team to be: the team is about 15 right now and im planning to stop at 30

in case people will get 15% that'll mean that you'll pay 30*15 = 450%
Sounds like a bad deal for you

if you read that all it says estimated, the amount is dynamic depending on a few factors,
please be serious about your reply's

yeah well; I think my reply is rather serious.

If you really want your team 15-30 people that'll mean that the maximum profit per person is 100/30 - 100/15 = 3-7% ... promising 15-30% is a rather scam then, even if it's an estimate basic math would be useful

All in all the only thing I hear is "I want to make a mod in the source engine and I need help, if we get greenlit (did you think about the $100 you now need to actually submit your game to greenlight?) you can get a bit of a share.

That wouldn't really be a problem but you don't show anything of the quality you have in house now; what you've done; if you can actually get the thing to work; what source game you will take as base. It would also be useful to know if you ever led a mod team before; how that turned out. show some of your previous work, doesn't matter if it was for source or not. That is information what we need in order to see if we want to join.

I seriously cannot comprehend the stupidity of this statement. JonTron is a hilarious fat asshole who plays video games and yells about them. Egoraptor is a spawn of the early days of Newgrounds, and is also fucking hilarious. Neither of them are remotely relevant to game development.

Your overall lack of knowledge, unwillingness to elaborate regarding the project, and general lack of professional demeanor in your proposition (seriously, how am I supposed to fucking entertain an offer that doesn't discern your from you're) leads me to believe that you are an extremely over-ambitious teenager (or younger) who is nowhere near qualified to manage a project, or responsible enough to actually pay people for their efforts. I sure as hell don't trust you.
