You want someone to make a game like San Andreas?!

This was designed and developed with a massive team, costing millions. There is no way 1 person could create a game like that.

People are not just going to make games for you.

Please read:

"With a development team composed of around 1,000 people, a tremendous amount of effort was put into digitally re-creating New York City. According to Benzies, over 100,000 photographs were taken of the city, in addition to time-lapse cameras that were set on rooftops to capture the sheer intensity of the rain."

There is no way 1 person can do this.

It's good to know that you're willing to spend money on this project, since it's way easier to find good personel for a project if you pay them.
Could you give us a rough indication how much money you would be willing to spend?

What I don't think your understanding is that To make a game like San Andreas would take a very large amount of what is called "man hours" Basically this is how many hours a single individual would need to finish the project. I couldn't find anything concreate on San Adreas, but I did find something on the sequal GTA IV

Quote

According to The Times Online, the production budget for GTA IV was (ready for this?) $100 million dollars. The game took three and a half years to produce and Rockstar Games GTA IV producer Leslie Benzies says " About 1,000 people have had a hand in developing it."

Cite

So your talking that you want a single person with a Budget of near 0 to produce this game for you. Lets figure how many man hours we're talking. 1000 people working probably an average of 60 hours a week for 3 and a half years (130 weeks) so your talking 7,800,000 man hours. It is unrealistic to think that a single person who is not being paid can put in these kind of hours and produce you a game in any kind of reasonable timeframe. Even if they devoted fulltime 80 hours a week your still talking ~1,875 years.

Now beyond that here is what I suggest for you. If you truly want to create this game, get some funding. At least the amount it would take to pay 2-3 developers for one year.(your talking on the low end maybe 70k per person per year) Then produce a working demo with all neccisary documentation to go with it(TDD, FDD,User guide, ect.) Then take this to either angel investors or to a game company and ask to be funded for a full game. Once you have done that you can have higher expectation of your game coming to light.

I know this because I worked on several Teams that have failed, not because of lack of people, but for lack of time/ willingness to work for free or near free(And yes profit sharing, and equity stake are esentially working for free).

I am Talking about game like Gta Vice City. And if we will be Succesifull then We will be very rich by selling it also in the market. My Ideas are really unique, more unique than San Andreas Etc. I just need some helpers. And Like you many people if help then it will be possible for us to make it.

OP - just to be clear, this is not a paying job until after the three years or so of development?

Though not completely related, as you want someone to create the game for you, but this is worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGar7KC6Wiw

I also think you're being completely unrealistic, and honestly this isn't going to work out - not to put a dampener on things. But you will not have enough money to hire developers. Plus you say you have 'ideas' but do you have a complete game design document explaining everything?

Having ideas is one thing, but why are your ideas better than Professional designers/developers who have been in the industry 10-20+ years?

I have bolded, italicised, and underlined the part I want to touch on, because nothing erks me more then someone who says crap like this with nothing to back it up. What is your target market? Have you done any Market research to see how well your idea will be received by the target market? What kind of responses did you get if you have? If you haven't gotten this then there is no way you can say "We will be very rich". Let's call a spade a spade and say you want people to do Millions of hours of work for no money in the hopes of possibly sharing in the profits later, but all you have are "Ideas" with nothing to back it up.

Now that being said I'll make another suggestion. Read up on Game Design Documents; how they work, what they are, and what goes into them. Once you've done that and gotten one created, then start looking for a team.

How are you going to pay the programmers? People don't work for free. You would need a lot of money.

Some, you'll need more than some :)

Again as I have said before, a single person cannot make a game like GTA VC/SA etc.

It sounds to me like you just want create and mod a map for GTA. Which is an entirely different thing to programming a game. Modding: http://www.google.co....1l3l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=536e09847cd89619&biw=1680&bih=831
