Ok this isn't exactly FAQ because we made up all the questions our selves, but then again that's probably what every website does. It's more of a teaching guide about Project OGDE done by Question & Answer. |

 Q: Is Game Discovery a game company? A: Game Discovery is not your common game company, we work more as a link between different development teams, and gamers who are interested in game design. We do not make any games our self, but we set up game projects together with development-teams/game-designers and our readers/visitors. Maybe you could call us an Online Game Company? Q: Are you working together with Square or Namco on project OGDE? A: "Online Game Development for Everybody" is first of all targeted for amateur/hobby game designers who are looking for a future in the game industry. Our goal is to give promising/not-so-promising game designers, 3D modelers, character designers etc etc, a chance to show off their work and the opportunity to be part of a development team. After receiving much e-mail from people asking how they could get into the industry, we decided to do something about it. The result of this became project OGDE. Q: I'm just a hardcore gamer with no programming skills, is there something that I can contribute to the project? A: Online Game Development for Everybody means game making for everybody! As long as you know how to draw a monster or character that looks slightly better than the work of a five-year-old, there will be plenty of opportunities. What kind of material that can be submitted will not be the same on all game projects. The core team behind each game project will decide what kind of material they feel is suitable for that specific game project. For more information about what to submit you need to visit the section dedicated to the specific game you wish to contribute to. Q: People all over the world working on the same title seems a bit chaotic to me, don't you think it will all end in total chaos? A: There are a few things that must be known before you fully can understand how this system works. First of all, each game project has a core-team (can in fact consist of only one person) behind its development who is in the position to complete the development of the game without all you contributors submitting material. It's their title and they have 100% control over the development process. In the end, they will decide what submitted material to use. This does NOT mean that they won't listen to what you have to say, it's for keeping things a bit organized, preventing the whole project from falling apart. This core-team will also have the final word over the 3D modelers, character designers etc etc, who has signed up for a job. Q: Signed up, signed up for what? A: On some projects there will be an opportunity to sign up for a specific job. These jobs will become available after a request from the core-team. Not all game projects will require jobs like these, and if you want one you have to watch our news section as we will callout when there are jobs to be filled. These jobs may vary from 3DAnimator to Story Director. People signing up for a specific job must be willing to sacrifice allot of spare-time devoting themselves to the game project. And you will not be paid anything else than "World Wide Fame". Hey, we here at Game Discovery don't get paid for doing this, so why should you? Q: Now wait a minute, I'm going to school five days a week and keeping a job at the very same time. I don't want to devote my life to this project but I'm pretty skilled with 3DStudio, is there a way for me to contribute with my skills? A: As mentioned earlier, each game project will have different elements that can be submitted depending on what the core-team for each game project has decided for their project. This may include technical stuff like 3Dmodels and game music. Again check the specific section devoted to the game project you wish to work on to see what kind of submissions they accept. Q: Me and my friends has formed a development team and we have this cool strategy game in the making. We think project OGDE is blasting kewl, and we want to have our strategy game developed at your webside using your kick ass system. Is that possible? A: If you look at the Game Menu you will see a link that says "Sign Up Now!". Clicking on that link should give you all the information needed about starting a new game project. Q: So project OGDE is for amateur game development only? A: NO
