fantasy or not-fantasy..?

[Gabnid]

I've had a playerworld accepted for a while (though not up or official) but haven't continued with the billing and finalizing due to both lack of a team, as well as SLIGHT indecision as to what genre I'm shooting for.

idea numero uno..
=---

This idea was accepted, though it's basically just another fantasy-blah world. My plans were to build it with more complexity than simple hack'n'slash, pure-action-adventure game.. and more like something with character statistics and such. Other more impressive features that I was plotting have been verified possible by capable people, but I'm still left without a dedicated scripter.

I have had an offer to have a system designed in the fashion of the one that I described (to the person who made the offer, who shall remain nameless) .. but that person is the head scripter for an already stable, yet supposedly growing playerworld, and simply wouldn't have time to develop progressively for me.


brainfart 2..
=---

This was the original plan that got me in the mood to run with the idea of starting a playerworld.. a post-apocalyptic world. Possibly even a post-apocalyptic version of Earth, depending on what feedback from fellow-players was like..

Set on Earth, such a world would be best compared to the Wasteland/Fallout series of games in story.. set on a fictional world however, I think it would be difficult to grab attention.. (because it'd be a ruined version of a planet we know nothing about in the first place.. BOOORING..)


..so before I launch into excessive detail about all the little ideas I had for these two possibilities.. I'm going to ask again (because I did at some point months ago) .. what is the chance of finding a dedicated scripter, or scripterS for that matter.. I mean.. I can bust out some mockup screenshots using graphics that I'm making.. but that's about all I can offer for examples of what I "have so far" .. (as that seems to be the trend of requirements for attracting competant scripters) ..

I know that the concept and art will be fab.. but I can't script my way out of a Graal-brand paper bag.. just not interested in that kind of work.. (never have been, getting to be too late for me to decide to ever be..)

also.. If I could find an actual DEDICATED individual to head a large-scale, long-term coding job for a playerworld.. I'd be willing to pay for their account's Gold status.. though I'm not sure how commonplace or productive a deal like that would be.

hehe..

let me know if anyone (especially those who advised be before) have any suggestions for an initial course of action.. How do I show the capable scripters that I'll be an equally capable manager/designer/artist/musician/etc..? (everything but scripting)

(hehe.. and if you have any feedback about the indecision of genre.. I'd welcome suggestions for that as well.. Fantasy seems to be so dime-a-dozen, that I don't wanna even try to be a face in that large of a crowd.. while post-apocalyptic seems like the fan-base would be so small, that it would fail from the opposite problem..)

I've entertained the idea of trying to find some existing teams to merge with as well.. I'd be interested in hearing any stories anyone has or has heard about that happening.. (struggling playerworlds joining together into one team to make something nice.. that sorta thing)

(now for some flagrant typos)
HLEP ME PELASE!
