[CHAOS] Amnesia: Garden of Shadows

[ProyectV]

Scraping together 50 people from around the Internet willing to work on this for years for free sounds like an incredibly difficult task. Frictional themselves only consist of a few people.

I think that having any more than 6 voiced characters in a story like this can easily become confusing or too complex to the player. Look at Machine For Pigs for example; they only had like, what? 3 voiced charaters. Mandus, the Engineer and the professor. It's like a short story. Keep things simple and interesting. I also don't think you'd need more than 1 or 2 people to compose music.

As for level designers, 20 sounds like an awful lot. Around 5 is probably enough. Everyone have their own style and you don't want to conflict this and clash many different ones into the same project.

Programmers, well, they also work differently. They have their own workflow and if more than 1 person work on the same script, it's easy to become confused about what they're doing. 5 scripters is probably more than enough. 3 should work if this is such a big project that 1 isn't enough.

Basically what I'm saying is that it's difficult to find this many people who are willing to work on such a big project for a long time, who also need to have the free time to do so, be able to communicate well so misunderstandings and disagreements don't occurs, and lastly of course actually ARE compentent do fulfill their position.

I'm not trying to discourage you, but try to look at it realistically. Don't get more food than you can eat. I also suggest you perhaps show some of your work. In a huge project like this, trust is incredibly important and that doesn't just pop up on its own. Show what you can do and more people will trust that you know what you're doing. If they can trust that you will be able to control this and make it work, they might just join in to help you.

I wish you luck with this!

Thanks with the thumbs up, i put an exagerated number of people... don't know what i was thinking... anyway i will finis the first map (The mansion) and then i will post it here...
