About coders and spriters
« on: December 12, 2008, 01:39:32 PM »
I was looking at some topics and noticed that some are started like this,
"Hi. We're gonna make a full game. We have great ideas. We need spriters and coders."

It got me thinking and asking these questions:
Are there good coders who would be willing to work with random sprites?
Are there good spriters who would allow their sprites to be coded by someone else?
Is there a list of people who are only coders or only spriters?

That last one is the heart of this topic. It seems that if you're a good spriter, but not good at coding, couldn't you advertise your skills in a Classified section while requesting a good coder? You could even provide a mini portfolio, or a link to samples of your work. A good coder who likes your work could PM you and say, 'I like your [char] sprites. May I code him/her/it in [game] style?' If the spriter knows this coder's work and agrees, then they can decide how best to proceed and make a cool new char.

Of course, there are many ongoing projects involving spriters and coders, but it sometimes seems very random. If there's a section dedicated only to getting coders and spriters together, could someone let me know where it is?

The other reason I even bring this up is because sometimes I get the impression that creating for MUGEN is supposed to be a one-person job. The more I think about it, and the more I see in the forums, the more this becomes false. Granted, a char created completely by one person assures that that char will satisfy that creator and maybe some others, but many excellent chars have come about from creator team-ups. This also takes the some burden off the shoulders of a would-be creator.

Again, MODS, if a Classifieds section for coders and spriters (and music makers, sound makers, and SpecialFX makers) already exists, I must have missed it. Point me in the right direction and close this topic. If there is no Classifieds section, well, why not?  :)

Well there's the help section (and that usualy gets overlooked when people ask for it)
and theres the wip section.

Its easyer for a spriter to find someone to code, they can post their work on the character and someone will say, hey i like that, i'll code it.

The other way arround though is really hard, especaly if no one's heard of you, cuz just asking for someone to make sprites that you'll code will make you sound like a leacher...

There is no clasified section here currently, just people post in help or wip and it all depends on how much attention the topic gets.
