ANARYU'S PROFILE

I think it should be based more on mutual motivation about a project. Having a deadline helps, but also it's usually a good idea to have team members that have the drive but lack compatible resources. Example; one of my latests projects (a collab one) utilized a writer because my writing is awful, and that person got a chance to make a game and not have to worry about the mechanics and programming.

I'm actually in another similar situation on a newer collab project where I'm working with someone who has abilities I severely lack, and I bring a skill to the table that they can't easily find either.

I've noted that in the times I've worked with others successfully, we've each been the "head" of our own areas. I didn't mess with the story, world, or characters in my recent collab, I'd offer my thoughts once in awhile, but left it up to that person. Conversely I only got normal player feedback regarding mechanics that I created, they didn't try to tell me how to run that aspect. We each had freedom to express our own ideas and creativity without having to feel stifled. (Though some aspects we DID collaborate on for various reasons.)

Motivation and Freedom are, I think, the two most important aspects you need to look for to make a collaboration successful.

(I don't remember more than a vague comment that you'd be willing to work on something with me sometime way in the past, so I'm pretty sure I didn't reject anyone, thought that might have been reference to someone else instead.)

Whenever I went to the front page (which is how I always loaded the site) the random screenshots were the first place my eyes went.

Now they just kinda unfocus and I forget why I went there and just close it. Although I've loaded the front page 4 times, I could not tell you what even one of the updates was anymore, I just... didn't notice or care. Just another list, and a boring looking one at that.

Now I'll load the page, and if my "Notices" aren't blinking, probably just close it. :P (Instead of checking out a screenshot or two.)

I actually liked the effect.

You or Krissana?

Me. (Also, Krisanna is how it's spelled.)

No need to do that, I don't think it'd help at all. :)
