Free Project looking for ideas&help!

Hi everyone! :)

I'm trying to start a new project, so I'm recruiting people now~!

Idea up to now
We don't have a lot of ideas yet, but what I'm ready to share is:
Main character is a girl.

At the start of the game, the player can choose the school they want to go to. We'll have like 2-3 schools as a choice and 1 hidden school, you can unlock, when you got every possible ending available for the "normal" schools.
For now we want to provide a story in a sports based school and a music based school. (And the special school might be a magical one.)

Since I want people to be able to change the story with their choices, there will be like 2 guys(+1 hidden guy and maybe also a lesbian ending) available for dating and probably 3 different "cliques" you can join. And I want more than 1 ending per person, so maybe 5 endings per person? Not sure yet. >_<

Feel free to contribute ideas :)

About the Project
As I stated above this is a new project and I'm a total beginner at this, so I can't provide you with examples yet.
I'd actually like to start a group, where we can do more than one project together, but if you only want to join for one project, I wouldn't mind either.
Also I'm doing this as a hobby, so I'll try to make FREE games. If you are looking for great pay, I'd advise you to look somewhere else. (Sorry!)

What kind of games do I want to make?
I'm a girl and I love girlish stories more than everything. So if you hate girly stuff, you might want to stay away.
My favourite genre is romance and I want my first game to be a school romance. Next up will probably be a fantasy setting~ (But that's too far away now to think about it lol)
I want to make a game, where you have a lot of choices, that aren't way too obvious. (I hate those games, that gives you options, but the outcome is way too obvious..) But I also want to focus on a nice story! (Sometimes story quality suffers greatly with too many choices)

Some of my favorite VNs are (see if you are compatible with me! :) ): Long Live The Queen, The Second Reproduction, RE: Alistair++, Halloween Otome, Ristorante Amore.

Recruiting
- Background Artists
- Musicians/Sound/Video Editors (I've got almost zero knowledge on this subject, so yeah... Help would be appreciated!!)
- Web Developers ( I can do basic HTML, PHP, Database stuff, etc. but someone more experienced would be a great help)

Feel free to contact me here or send me a PM, if you are interested or want to know more! :)

Hey,

your posting is very... barebones. We usually expect people recruiting for a project to have an actual project in mind, not just vague ideas.

Our requirements for Recruitment describe what information you should be able to offer when recruiting.

Well.. I said it's a school romance project, can't I start recruiting and add more info later? o.o
I'm not sure about the plot yet, since it's kind of a test project, but if I can't recruit without a description I can delete and come back later >_< (But I'm afraid I might end up doing everything on my own.. lol)

But I'd also like to look for Co-Authors, who like to suggest story ideas. (Can I do that somewhere else?)

Hey,

I'd be more than happy to assist with editing/proofreading as English is my first language. I can suggest some stories ideas, too. Let me know if you would like my help :)

I think I know where you could safely ask for ideas and also present yours.

Moved.
