Name: Erik :3
Residence: USA, GMT-6
Programming Experience: About 3 years in GM registered, and a fast learner in most programming.
Spare Time: 3:00 PM - 10:30 PM weekdays, 11:00 AM - 2:00 AM weekends
Dedication: If I think something is worth programming, I'll stick to it for 7 months, if it takes that long, and this is definitely worth it. I've also always wanted to create a game creating program, and this would make me happy to at least help out a little :3

I'd dedicate all the time I can offer to MechaSource if it's needed. Of course, I'd do my best to report any bugs I find, and I'd be extremely grateful if I do end up getting the spot.

Edit: More specifically in GM, GML. Pretty fluent in it.

Name: Kane or kane]deth[
Residence: Canada / gmt -5
Programming Experience: Some GML, not much. I can understand some code if I see it though
Spare Time: A lot actually, school is pretty easy at my age, so I can spare a few hours a day on this
Dedication: I'll be pretty dedicated to this, I have lots of game ideas so I can test it out using mechasource. I also want to learn LUA more, so I'd be spending some time on this learning it.

Name: Brett
Residence: USA, GMT -5
Programming Experience: 2 years in GM, 2 in php, 1 year in Flash. Also know BBcode.
Spare Time: Usually 4:00-7:00 Weekdays, with the exception of Wednesday (band practice) and Fridays (performances), and very differing but plentiful time on weekends. Usually depends on what's up round here.
Dedication: I'll put time and effort into it, and if for some reason I delay on a part, it's because my personal agenda's caught up with me. :/

I'm up to see how this programming stuff works out!

Sorry Im late! Homework started!

So here's the topic you were talking about on msn

Name: Spritanium
Residence: USA GMT-7
Programming Experience: GML, some HTML, a very small bit of actionscript
Spare Time: Usually from around 5-9 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I'm avalible at various times during the day if I have nothing else to do. Long story short, if you need me to do something and I'm on MSN, I'm your man.
Dedication: As long as nothing comes up in the following weeks, it'll be my #1 priority.

Also, I don't know if you could use this in any way, but I'm pretty good with Flash animation and graphic design.

oh wow that's alot of sign ups

keep em coming~

Name: LocoRoo :P
Residence: Finland, +2
Programming Experience: Not very much, a bit of HTML and scripting in random game making programs. But I've used MMF2 for forever.
Spare Time: Depends. Maybe 2-3 hours a day.
Dedication: REALLY dedicated. I usually mess around with new cool programs for like 2 months. And if it's a game-making tool, MORE.

Name: Gio, Kamikaze, eh.
Residence: United States, EST -05:00
Programming Experience: Well, i'm trying to use MMF2 for Stanley Saga. Someguy made an engine for me, and i've more or less begun to understand how things work now.
Spare Time: 2, 3 hours? Possibly quite a few more on weekends.
Dedication: Well I really do like trying this sorta new stuff, so I guess i'd be with ya all the way!

Onilink's programming experience puts us all to shame...

Really?

He just wrote C++, like hes fluent with it...

If thats not true, then maybe I overreacted.

Oops, I figured someone would misunderstand. I meant C++ as in The General Basics, like how to write in Consoles, how to use Basic Allegro and SDL, that kind of stuff.

We're not just looking at your experience in general.
Infact, it might not even be a plus as we're looking for the average guy to test it out.

So my Experience in the Many Languages may be a Downside?! All I really know about Lua is making a Lava Script and Clickable Brick in Roblox, which is actually pretty simple. XD

Where as I know nothing about lua, mmf2, tgf, c++, C#, and some GML! =D

Well, I might aswell try it.

Name: Drezus
Residence: Brazil, AKA GMT - 3:00
Programming Experience: MMF, MMF2. Already messed a bit with things like C++ and Hexeditor, too.
Spare Time: Generally, 4~7 hours.
Dedication: I'll be very happy to help on the project in any way. I believe that already makes me much more dedicated to it. MFGG generally went downhill in the last 2 years, and I believe this project could be a good start for a new beginning.


Additional Info?: Had some little clashs with some of the current team's members in the past, but I hope everything is resolved by now. I'm sure those two years gave me the responsability sense that I need to take problems seriously. In other words, I don't think I'm noob anymore. I write lots of typos and wrong sentences sometimes, but I'm already skilled with english, so I don't think I should have any major problems with spelling.



Let's wait and see :x

Uh...yeah, I forgot to say... Even if I don't get accepeted into the team, I would be interested in doing a launch game for it (as in, those games that are already there on the release day). So PM me if there's any possibility for me to do that.

idea i have already
