Hi, I'm very pleased that a lot of you know Team Parc and that you think that it's good what we're doing. I do feel the need to give some back-ground on Team Parc. We started to join skilles like how the NY was ment to be. For all that don't know, Net Yaroze means something like: "Let's work together". I agree that a lot of people work independant on games. The big pro on that is that you have total control on the complete project and you never have to wait for others to finish stuff. The good thing about a team is that you can combine skills and that you have others to call in for help. With Team Parc we try to combine the good of both. Team Parc has chats every week on ICQ, we keep each other informed about progress and we have a list of people we can mail if we need help. We also have some people working on graphics, sound and concepts. But you're not supposed to work together with everybody, that does not work. I think it's best to do a game alone with help of the rest or maybe with 2 or at most 3 people. I think Andy and I are working the most on games at Team Parc, but it's completely dependant to what time others have. There is no "must", but there is a responsibility. If you really want to finish a game, you need to take responsebillity. Another cool thing is the fact that you can stick with developing your game. We can put it online and make a site about it. We also noticed that it's cool to meet each other every year at the ECTS. At this moment I'm hoping to expand Team Parc up to at least 15 "members". So if anybody is interested!!! We could use some people with experiance in sound and music as well.. For graphics we also have some people that don't own a NY but do like to work on games.. And now a little personal note... MY PICTURE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE NEW EDGE!! I say supposed since I didn't see it myself yet. In Holland the EDGE is always 2 weeks late. So that makes my letter printed in the issue before (with Sonic on the front) and now a picture.. Cheers all, DEnnis..
