I have an idea for a game project. It is based on an existing game
which although critically successful (great reviews), is never going to
be released in another version. It is a turn-based strategy game, with
elements of empire-building and territory development, war and
diplomacy. The idea I have involves a pbem component, plus other
enhancements.
The game, or at least the older, official versions of it, has a
dedicated though not huge user base, and is still played. There are
lots of players around who will want to provide input, beta test, etc.
My idea is to form a small collective of people who want to work on a
project to create a new version -- not in name, for trademark reasons
-- but a new game which takes its lead from the old versions. An heir
in all but name, I guess. This wouldn't be a 'free' project -- we would
be thinking of ways to make this a money earner for whatever group of
people made it happen.
This would suit anyone who has the skills, wants to collaborate on a
game project, but who doesn't have a specific game idea. The idea is
here, waiting.
Anyone interested in knowing more can reply by email for more details
or to discuss.

Actually I'm motivated by the fact that I'm a hardcore Imperialism
