I kind of dig this idea.
Thank you! It's been slow progress because I'm a freelancer in a quiet period, so that's taken precedent. But will start posting progress soon.
I usually enjoy working on my own projects, but I'm more qualified to write code than create artwork, write stories, compose music, and all those other things that make a game whole.
If you've got a team who is ready to start building a game, feel free to reply here and tell me about it. :)
I have many years of experience dabbling in everything from C and C++ to Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, C#, and everything in between. Currently I have been finding joy in working with Python, Django, DRF, and Vue.js... I am always ready to learn new things. Reach out! codectc @ gmail
I've been interested in conversational bots and how they might be used for purposes that are more fun than customer service. I'm specifically interested in ideas that are silly, or emotionally salient, or weird, or anything that's not productive and not commercial. I have been poking around with some stuff, but mostly just ideas in my head. So for "collaboration" I mostly imagine getting ideas from each other, trying…
Here's a great article about it from an end-users perspective:

I was thinking it would be nice to exercise in VR, but I would have to pick something aerobic I wouldn't mind doing blindfolded, which rules out a lot, but I think a row machine could work. So I'm imagining a pacific-island-navigate-by-the-stars simulator, maybe speed up time so 8 hours of night become 30 minutes of cardio. Choose a couple of islands to row between, get some directions of which star to follow, and ge…
There are inefficiencies in the investment banking world where marketing materials and other pitch deck materials is too manual. We have highly compensated individuals perfecting PowerPoints but too many of the slide creation companies are not relevant for what bankers do. Would love to create something and have ideas on how to make it work but limited tech experience.
Therefore we're building an interactive software simulation about democracy and propaganda. With the goal of impacting voters, citizens, students, and key decision-makers, as well as providing an additional research tool for scholars.
You provide (any or all of):
-- cash (early/angel; via donations, grants or easy equity terms; anything from $5k to $5M would be signif and appreciated, in terms of concrete impact on our runway and speed/bandwidth; keep in mind that in this space we have ultra-hard external deadlines both in terms of scheduled elections, and ecosystem/agriculural collapse)
-- connections, introductions, promotion (to your following, eyeball feeds, etc.)
-- additional expertise or credibility related to history, psychology, politics/PolySci, foreign affairs or education
-- user/audience impact validation testing
-- QA testing
-- localization/i18n
We provide:
-- gratitude
-- name credits & references
-- as we have budget: paying work on tasks needed, and, potential for early employees
-- equity shares for potential key early partners
We can provide a more detailed pitch document and a preview look, or live demo w/Q&A, of our working prototype software.
If you're fine with waking up one morning to find yourself living in the kind of nighmarish world depicted in the Mad Max or Idiocracy movies, then please... feel free to keep living your normal everyday lives.
If however you want a better future, or at least if you want to be able to look in the mirror and know you've tried your best to achieve it. Or you dont want to ever be forced to explain to your children or grandchildren why your generation -- and why you personally -- left them such a dystopian shithole, then consider perhaps giving us a ping today.

I am retired and don't have the space or physical capability to build this at my home so I'm looking for someone who has or wants to build a shed or tiny house and who has basic construction ability. I can help with basic design and maybe arduino prototyping and scripting. If it works I'd like to put it on the web so anyone could copy it and be confident it would work. Phase 2 might be doing the same with a manufactured/mobile home.
Looking to volunteer for a nonprofit.
I've been working on a city builder/simulation video game for the last few months. If that's something you're curious & passionate about, send me an email (see profile). The game is built from the ground up with SFML and C++. The graphics are sprite/tile based. The game is top down, 2D, and will display the interior of buildings so you can watch your citizens live their lives. You'll be able to change z-levels for mu…
This sounds very, very cool. Sadly I'm not much of a gamedev, otherwise I would take part, but I really would love this come to fruition!
When the game can begin competing with Cities: Skylines on a simulation level, I'll start charging for it.
