Where did this group stuff start anyways? I don't recall other freeware communities dividing themselves into little teams.
Hey, it happens all the time in other freeware communities! At first glance, I don't like the idea either (see second/third post in thread ). But after thinking about it for a while, I think it's better this way. I think a lot of us are kinda reluctant to share secrets, story or coding related, with other people, but it's easier if they're part of the same little group.

Hmm.. I've thought about it a bit and it doesn't seem like joining a big team would be much different than just hanging around TDC and posting for help. It would be better to join a small group or start a new one
So, anyone wanna start a new group together? I'm thinking of maybe a group specializing in RPGs or strategy games. But I would need someone to help maintain the website for me.. don't really have enough internet time for maintainence and such. TDC adminage stuff already takes about 2 hours of precious Internet time a week

Well when you consider there are about 10 or so active users here, and you want to join a team with 10 or so active users
I prefer small groups myself. At the moment it's just me and a musician, with some help off a writer (completely a non-game maker). I say go form a ragtag bunch of people who don't have anything to do with games. It might help give your game a more refined feel. Maybe perhaps who knows.
i think im gonna look for people to join after i finish DreamWeaver. Ill def stick to RPG'S and RPG Hybrids, but i think i could learn alot from a decent coder. Thats what always causes me problems Plus if im teamed with a decent coder it would allow me more time to work on spriting which is where my skill lies.
