This forum is intended in its own little way to help us towards out ultimate dream: the creation of a Discworld MMO.
Our main task up front is to make a demo.
With that, we make a pitch to get out license expanded.
With that license in hand, we try to get funding.
After that, the real work begins.
Well, that's the plan anyway. For the time being, enthusiasm, boosting egos, and most importantly, offering free help are the very best things you could do for us.
Check out the professionals post. If there's anything there that you could do cheaper than a pro, and to a reasonable quality, please let us know.

What is the point of education if people go out and use it?
Re: If you're an amateur looking to help, please read.
Oh yeah, once we have a working game up, playtesters and comments would be strongly needed.
For the initial concept demo, though, which is really just to convince Pratchett, there won't be any playtesting involved, but comments and ideas are still more than welcome!

Re: If you're an amateur looking to help, please read.
not exactly a programmer, not at all actually but happy to help, sound board ideas, write content or help plan structures and interaction scenarios or anything else useful and lay person suitable. When its finished can I move in?

Re: [MMO] If you're an amateur looking to help, please read.
If you're still going with this project then I am an amateur who works for free. I love Discworld and game design. I have been wondering about doing a 2D non-profit fan Discworld MMO for ages. I would absolutely love to help! You can email me at robert.o.king AT hotmail.co.uk if you are still working on the project and my help would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm Rob's brother, Alex (Rob being the poster above). Rob showed me this project, and being another Discworld and Gaming fan I'd just like to say that I'd love to help too. I suck at actually making games, but am reasonably good at game design, and would love to help playtest this game - I've already beta tested an upcoming mmo, by the way. I work for free, and would love to help out in this project.
