[fullmetalX20a]

My self and some other are attempting to start a small independent game studio here in Trinidad to attempt publishing on both Wii Ware and I phone with future goal leading to PSN and XBL if anyone is interested in this venture plz post any idea or PM if you would like to get more involved.

We are still looking for a few programmers (intermediate - advanced knowledge in C++ and Java
some animators and someone to do textures.

Also if anyone has Idea where we can get funding for more advanced equipment inform cause currently all work is being done on our personal PCs.

Cant help in programming or anything

But you can try Nedco for financing via a loan
Or try the Business Development Company's Caribbean Leasing Company
which would  be able to lease you the necessary equipment.

I have some programming experience. I have done Java and Visual Basic. I believe they say that if you know either Java or C++, it is easy to understand the other.

In fact, I have made a menu-centred game using Java while I was learning it! It's not much but I'm really a game designer at heart and starting a fire in Trinidad in the gaming industry gets my support.

I actually have a dream game, but I'd like to keep the concept to myself in fear of someone stealing my idea. I believe that the console generation after the PS3/Xbox360 would be able to handle my concept. But that's a really big dream-game...not no PSN mini.

I can also draw and I'm very much into details. I'm still a novice with virtual animation since I prefer to draw with my hand on paper (traditional ink-and-paint etc).

So, while I'm interested, I dunno anything about making a game for a console!
