EDIT: all positions are filled.

Once again, PyWeek approaches and I'm looking for volunteers to help me create a video game. I'm looking for help with asset creation (NOT PROGRAMMING). Mostly in the form of level and puzzle design. This pyweek, we're probably making an isometric-view room-by-room puzzle game (the same genre as something like Portal, but 2D). This week of insanity is May 6-13 so I'm looking for people that are able to volunteer as much time as possible during that week. There will be a planning week before but it's not really too important if you can make that.

Here are the positions:

• Programming - already filled (by me)
• Art - partially filled
• Music - already filled
• Level makers - NEED MORE
• Puzzle design - NEED MORE
• Dialog Writing - potentially filled

Puzzle designers will design puzzles at a high level, draw them on a napkin, take a photo, and send them to the level makers.

The level makers will take that design and create an actual level out of it with tiles using a level editor I will create in the first day or two of the week.

In practice, I'm sure level designers and puzzle designers will be doing some amount of work across the boundary.

If you are interested in participating, please send me a message and include anything you think that will help make your case (such as samples of previous design experience). Even if you don't have any experience but this sounds like it'll be an awesomely fun use of your time during that week, apply anyway. I'll make my decision based on a combination of how well I think you'll be able to do it, how much time you can commit, and, to a degree, how well I know you. If there are lots of applicants, I might come up with some sort of interview challenge.

This actually sound awesome! I wish I could help. But, with school and work and social commitments I'm not sure if I can devote enough time. :\

I'll write your dialogue.
>.>
<.<

I'd also like to help, but I think that's right around finals for me.

I know I volunteered and auditioned, but as Isaac mentioned (and I didn't realize) that is AP Week.
I will be busy being curled up in a little ball freaking out and will therefore not have time for this.
>< I wish I could, though!

I may potentially have all the positions filled, now. (IRC goes fast)
Although statistically speaking, 1.2 people on the team will have something come up at the last minute and I'll need an alternate, so I will ping this thread if that happens.

Venice: I'm doing a solo entry and AP tests. FIVE AP tests, even :P Surely you can handle a little level design? :P

Then again, I've also admitted I'm insane for attempting this, but y'know.

I'll work on level design if you tell me more or less what you're looking for. I guess my AP week will just be a little more "the week of insanity".

I would LOVE to help!

I would love to to this!

I wish I could help in the music department but I jumped on the Wagon too late.

I still say I do the dialogue. It would only be mildly inappropriate.

That sounds awesome! If I have time, I'll work on it

Sorry, over my head.

So tempting to quote that song.

Just curious, What exactly would the job of those creating Dialogue be? (if someone says, 'to write dialogue' I'm going to smack them :P...)

To write dialogue.

Three AP tests, a job, helping with after-school tutoring, running a club, trying to improve conditions for rape victims in my state...

I have a lot going on at any point. :P However, I get crazy test anxiety and will be worthless that whole week.

Good luck, Blake!

Windmill would be good for arts.

I'd be horrible for arts.

:< You make me out to be such a party popper.

You are.

You showed up at the party and we were like "Oh cool! Issac's here!"

And then you pooped everywhere.

*popped

What does it mean to pop a party?

"To burst open with a short, sharp, explosive sound", at a party.

Blake, I think it would work a lot better for many of us if this were moved a week later.
