Hey guys. I am making a development team. At the moment I have called it Denied Games (I was bored, don't judge me) and I am now allowing 4 people into the team. At the moment, I only really work with GameMaker. So, if you would like to join, put a application in this format following:
Name:
Age:
Have you made any games? (Yes or No)
What coding languages do you use? (Languages go here)
The only way this will work is if you offer an incentive. No one wants to do work without something in return unless they just really love it or are really bored.

NOTE: I don't sell MY games at the moment.
Some more info would be nice, such as the types of games you'd want to make. Also, I went to GameMaker and it says that it lets you make games without coding. If that is the case, why would you need to know what languages people know? Or are you moving away from using GameMaker?
I've only made calculators and word counting programs in Java, so I'm not familiar with game development. I'm moving to Obj-c this summer to make an iOS app( well that's the goal at least)

The Commies count their quarters and the ArtSci wish they could, the Engs have the longest pole and slam it home for good, so big, so hard, so tall, it reaches all the way to heaven, so shut your hole, we climbed the pole, we're sci 1 ing 7!!!
Since you're looking for a serious reply, here we go.
To create a team, you need people. Programmers, specifically. So how do you get those programmers? Well, slavery won't work, so you will have to attract them. Now this can be done in basically two ways.
The first way is by offering money. That's easy enough. If you want somebody to help you, pay him. He'll most likely do it.
The second way is by making them want to help you developing games. This is what you are looking for. To attract people, you're going to need something to convince them that they are missing out if they don't join you.
And that is simply something you are not doing. You are not carefully explaining a well thought-out game concept.
You are also not showing evidence of your skills. You are not even telling what the team is going to do! Yet you are trying to select them by adding an application form. Many people will see an application form as a means of separating people, to get only those deemed worthy of helping you. This is rather ironic, because you are not attracting people at all.

Cute idea though.

These are serious replies. We get these pretty commonly and nothing becomes of them because no one wants to work for free.
