It's not entirely insane for a group of people to meet on a forum, produce an rough draft of a video game, and get it published by a recognized entity in the gaming world. Just look at FF: Crystal Chronicles.
I've been working on a detailed design document for a monster-catching game (vaguely resembles Pokémon in concept but has a completely different setting and is significantly darker in tone), I do this in my spare time for fun. I did fantasize about getting it picked up by a developer, but it's nearly impossible to get someone to look at a design document alone.
Then, a different thought crossed my mind. What if I pulled a CC? If we could assemble a team and develop a playable draft of the game, we could get it published (I know of several labels that accept video games but only in playable drafts, not in writing). Or we could go the other way, and make a cross-platform computer game to distribute freely.
I have writing talent and a good idea, I'm working my way thought a detailed design document as you read this. I could potentially get concept art from some friends of mine, but unfortunately that will be an uphill battle if this isn't something we're going to make money on because most of my friends are professional artists. I'm going to need programmers, animators, coders, etc. I don't want to release too many details publicly before we decide what we're going to do (once a team is assembled and work begins, we can decide on whether to distribute it freely or try and get it published by a major developer). You can send me a PM, but I prefer to be contacted by AIM (IoliteObsidian). If you're interested, hit me up and we'll talk details!
