Long story short a demonstration of my abilities has caused a stir among some friends who are now jumping at my throat to try kickstart some cash together and go make it. With me not having much luck in securing a new contract its something that's been rattling around in my head for about 2 weeks now and I'm seriously considering it. Thing is I want some unbiased feedback and could do with some peeps here to give some sample documentation a read. if you're interested stick your name down and i'll link you to Google Docs. id appreciate the feedback.
Likewise, I'm basically a self-appointed proof reader and critic. I graduated from the University of Internet.
I'm not sure I'll be able to help much, but in some other places I'm known to provide harsh, honest and supportive critique, so I'll try to help if you don't mind. In any case I wish you the best of luck.
Degree in games design - check Capable of soul crushing honesty - check All-round miserable git - check do I qualify?
Can't offer help (I lack the gaming degree) however I can say that you really should do this. As a long time subscriber to your channel, the insight and critique you provide over the games you cover show that you have the passion to make a game great; you see and point out frequently where good games could have been great games, with that kind of observation and analysis and some people to back you up it can only be a success.
Worked for 3 gaming companies in my life. Excellent proof-reader. Published author. Honest and blunt to the point of causing offence? Check. If you need a story made.... In the meantime, happy to offer feedback.
I havent even gotten to a story yet, nor any real characters, its a design documentation detailing the first 45/60 mins of gameplay
