Dear all,

I've been desperately trying to get hold of a developer with experience in building a Worms-like game. We're a well funded project and are really at this stage looking for consultants to start with who may want to get more meaningfully involved as things develop. We're looking for insights, and a steer in a number of directions. We're an international team with a great track record and really hope we can find somebody here who can help.

My first aim was to try and get hold of David "Deadcode" Ellsworth, Cybershadow or Andy Davidson but it seems very difficult to connect with these guys.

Any ideas or offer of help would be wonderful.

Thanks in advance,
Metaman

Hello,

Out of those 3 guys, Deadcode is available. Where did you look for him?

Hi, thanks for responding.

I've tried to connect with a few people on LinkedIn that I thought might be him...no joy across social networks.

Found an email for Cybershadow but no reply as yet and Andy I've tried everything under the sun...even writing snail mail to his address.

How would you suggest I contact Deadcode?

ps - Awesome handle, was close to getting a tattoo of Guybrush Threepwood, in my top 3 best games of all time.

afaik there are 4 worms-like clones that are nowhere close to the perfection that is WA. to name those: Hedgewars, Asteroidians, Webysteria, Crate Before Attack

ur gonna need 10+ years of time and perfect knowledge of physics to come close to WA, unless ur Team17 who milks the Worms franchise as cashgrabs

Deadcode should be in one of WA-related Discord servers

Nice try Team17.

Roger that, thanks for the suggestions of other games, that's useful.

We're inspired by WA for sure, in that we're building a turn based, time limited, war strategy game.

Agree that Team 17 have overly milked the franchise, it's sad to see...I'm defo not from Team 17!

Don't mind sharing what we're building...see www.warsnails.com.

If anyone else is keen to help out on consulting/advice/how to avoid black holes do shout.

.

Wowza...don't hold back on the instant judgement based on limited information dude. Please enlighten me on how you can be so confident in your view?

.

Right, ok...gonna leave it there, thanks to those who offered up some useful suggestions.

lol ur game just can suck to prevent new players never played worms . a engine in wich is so fine to jump a enter jump undernaeath a wall to get  a hole new working game physic so smooth as worms is un belivable because iam god made worms

I'd like to encourage everyone to keep the conversation under control.

This NFT venture makes me more sad.  I'm glad T17 backed out of the NFT space when they received the negative feedback. 

 I'd genuinely like to hear what the arguement is against NFT gaming, not to incite but to hear some balanced views if poss.

For me personally it's at odds with gaming because the NFT economy becomes the priority and focus... if people lose interest in NFT's what becomes of the game?  Also I don't personally like the NFT space, in it's worst form it's a borderline scam.
