Would preffer bad rats+ big rigs but this is a brilliant concept too

Huge destructible 3D world, tons of events, weapons, food and hunger system, thousands of players... just a perfect task for a small team of novice game developers.

The problem is not to find people who have ideas but people who can implement them.

Sorry to ruin it for you but everybody has ideas...some even more interesting than this one (btw this would be a total buy from me) but as someone said before me, it's hard to find the people who can work on the game with no guarantees, mostly no money and on such huge projects.
And you can't just be the guy that gives orders to people just because you had the idea...if you want to be a part of it, you better start learning coding/modelling or whatever yourself.
Don't get me wrong, i've been in the same position as yourself once...i had the idea, i had some unity tutorials and i felt like i could make a triple A game without problems, but there are so many issues you can encounter that it would be a real waste of time for me to write them all down...

If you want to make a game over the summer I'd honestly just use RPG maker. Using unity with only a coder or two and a modeler will only allow you to make some little starting area. RPG maker is great because you can use current scripts and edit them to your liking.

I am afraid the idea is not original after all and is already made. It also has mutliplayer.

Link for free game -- Includes only NATURAL disasters.

Link for free game 2 -- Includes all you listed.

Just for your information, ROBLOX is a lego-like game made by blocks. I started all my scripting and coding there.

Lose the zombies, even as an option. It's been over done and since it's only on e of many options you won't be able to do it as well as games dedicated to it. It could be added later if demand is high enough.

Honestly it just sort of sounds like a Minecraft mod.

So... you want to make a game without knowing how to make a game?

You should first learn and then you start the project

drop 3d for now and make engine/mechanics first. like square box or ball that does things, you can add 3d later on. as mentioned above, if you're not making it as early access, you don't need that fancy stuff. focus on important parts first

If you decide in the future to put there randomly generated(better than that, it's even fractal!) speaker soundtrack rather than all that boring randomly generated open world things... I'm your man.

Look, to be honest, I think you're getting way over your head here. I'm not sure if you've thought this through, but if you're the one programming think about everything you've promised. Tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanoes and...war. Think about all the aspects of each. Tsunamis require water, got any idea on how to program water? Hurricanes require that everything it interacts with has simulated physics. Volcanoes require liquid simulation if you're going for the whole lava thing and a whole bunch of other features such as the ability to spit rocks and whatnot. What I'm saying is, everything you've mentioned has more detail than you've probably imagined and each detail needs to be programmed and I just don't believe you're at a standard to be able to even know how to do those things.

What you should really be doing is starting small and I'm not going to say make a basic 2D platformer (but if you haven't, you really should) but rather something related to your idea such as a small hurricane simulation where you've got a few trees and few physics objects of varying shape and size and figure out how to move them in a believably hurricane-like manner. Please please please don't try to do what you're doing right now. You'll get next to nothing done, you won't have learnt much and there's a good chance you'll lose motivation and just never come back to it.

I am currently writing my own game, too. and i can tell, that's not that easy, even with my, let's say, 5 year programming experience. Every aspect has to be thought out to the smallest things and all those things have to work together as one. I am adding in some 2d/3d graphics as well, but as further it goes, as harder it gets.
For all those things you, SilliBird, have been dreaming about, even team of programmers couldn't do over the summer or even a year. You have to start small, cause as sp202 already mentioned, you could get into big mess and decide to drop everything, which is even worse if you have someone else working on your project as well

1. Acquire rights to Fortix
2. Re-release it under the name "Skyrim"
3. ???
4. Profit!

Or at least that's what I was expecting when you said a game shaped by the steamgifts community.

I have to agree with sp, ozo, PapaStalin, and (although I hate to admit it) Gabzilla. Making a game is not easy. If it were, Steam Greenlight would be flooded with good games that everyone would want to pick up and buy.

If you want people to help you, you have to prove that you can make a game. If I were good with Unity, modelling, or composing, I would see no reason to join you and waste potential time. So far, your only response to your naysayers has been "Don't worry I know Unity I can do this" or silence. This doesn't give me a good impression.

To get people to invest time in your project, show them that you can make a functional game. How? Make a simpler game. A high-quality game with a narrow focus (as compared to the wide-open sandbox you have planned) will blow a shoddily made AAA-scale game out of the water any day. And it will prove that, yes, you do have the skills to make a game and yes, it is worth people's time to work on your project.

Best of luck, but currently my hopes for this game aren't exceedingly high.

Sounds intresting :D. i could maybe compose some music. lucasw89@live.dk
