Building Team To Make Switch Game (No Experience Required)

[MostlySnakes]

So I'm sure there's no way this idea can go wrong, it'll be an experiment I guess . I want to build a team to release a game for the Nintendo Switch. Profits can be split based on the amount of work individuals contribute.

So then obvious question is why make a game specifically for the Switch. I'm currently working on projects that will be released on Steam and Xbox in a few months but I might take a break for this. The games on the Switch store made by indie devs are currently pretty shitty which means the barrier to entry is really really low right now so perfect opportunity for amateur game developers to release something.

With that being said the point of this is take anyone whether you have experience or not. Just looking for of team people that want to make a game and are not in it solely for money. I will guide the entire process from start to finish helping everyone learn as we go.

Like I said this will be an experiment. So if you're interested feel free to PM me, comment on this thread, add my discord FSF#4668

Let me emphasize this
No experience required
The goal of this project is to teach and learn

Oh yeah the game will be built in Unity and here's a server I just made for anyone who wants to join then you don't have to go through the process of adding anyone.

Have you looked into the cost of a Nintendo platform development kit? I've heard they charge a lot of money just for the opportunity to develop for one of their platforms and there are a lot of rules as well.

I'm looking into it right now. Honestly if all else fails we can just move to xbox or ps4 or steam or even mobile. I have sdk for xbox and ps4 already. Like I said the point is to teach and learn so whatever form that takes I'm fine with it.

The cost of one development kit for the Switch is about $450.

Yeah I figured that out a while ago... That's fine

Why exactly is this in the Web Design and Development forum?

Where else would you put it?...It fits development more than anything.

It should be in the development section.

Lmao I genuinely thought this was in development. Lets see if staff can move it

I'm honestly really interested, just don't know if I have the time or the skills to do such a thing.

Honestly I think time is more important than skills. This stuff is actually fairly simple to learn and with a decent sized team we're not gonna be putting a ton of work on any individual person besides myself for some aspects.

I suppose that the team size wouldn't mean a lot of skills. I am interested, though. I know I said that my time may not be the best, but if you do want a quick learner and a dedicated worker, I'm your guy
