Look here:
Hello. Welcome to the recruiting forum post for Scratch Zoo. Hope you read the whole thing
==========================================================================
Job List:
Main Programmers (2-3) - will work given assignments. Since there are not many, you will probably serve as a debugger as well.
Debugger (2-4) - help develop a list of bugs and issues. I will assign bugs in the program that need to be fixed.
Game Artist (2-4) - work on main art: buildings, people, etc.
Sound Producer (1-2) - a previous Sound Producer has finished all the music, so all that is needed is SOUND EFFECTS (for buttons, placing a building, etc.)
Advertiser (1-100) - if you TRUELY do NOT want to participate in any other jobs, but still receive credit, this is your area. You have 2 main jobs: RECRUIT NEW members to APPLY. 2) SPREAD THE NEWS after the game is finished.
Writer / Editor - if you are a great writer, you can help us write the tutorials, intro, outro, and descriptions!
Tester (5) - You will start testing after Version Alpha is released, which will be most likely in late January. In the “Other” section, you MUST promise that you will remain active, and do your job once testing begins.
If you would like to work on something part-time, want to do only a specific part of the project, or want to do an unspecified job, please let me know in the application.
This game requires a lot of commitment, and we cannot tolerate players who become inactive without earlier notice.
==========================================================================
How to Apply…
Fill out the following form:
1) What you prefer to be called:
2) How active you are (1-10)
3) Job(s) of interest. You may apply for more than one, but the commitment needed would be higher
4) HOURS available per day OR per week (specify)
5) A work to audition (people applying for “Advertiser” do not need to submit a work)
6) Did you follow this post and this studio?
7) Are you aware that you may not get in, as we have a big team already?
8) Did you read everything below and above this form?
9) What is your approximate age (or grade)? - used to determine assignment options
10) Other
==========================================================================
Job Status
Note: You DON'T need to provide your emails!

Hello. Welcome to the recruiting forum post for Scratch Zoo. Hope you read the whole thing
How “Scratch Zoo” Works:
Basically, in this simulation game you are the manager of a Scratch Zoo. You are given a large grid of land, starting with 12x12. To grow your Zoo, you buy buildings of different sizes, try to increase your reputation (which corresponds to how many zoo tickets you sell), try to maintain a clean place, hiring zookeepers and cleaners to do so. The player can buy different animals, but each animal needs a cage, which can fit a certain amount of spaces. (for example, a cage which can fit 10 spaces can house 5 chickens of 2 spaces). There are also buildings in which you can buy to increase reputation or income. A Zoo's cleanliness percentage decreases over time, but cleaners can increase that percentage. Buying a map extension for more buildings calls for more cleaners. All these things affect reputation.
The Zoo has an ice cream shop, which sells ice cream to customers as a source of income. But, you need to buy an ice cream shop, and the amount of ice cream you buy at a time is directly proportional to the cost of each pound of ice cream. (for example, buying in bulk makes a better deal).

Currently, I have ~860 posts.
I am a scratcher who used to be really active on the forums 5 or 6 years ago, I basically quit scratch since then but I still check out the website from time to time. Do not expect asap replies because scratch is really at the back of my head

You don't NEED to, but it is very helpful, as we could communicate and share GDocs…
If you really don't want to disclose it, then simply access this GDoc containing the game plan. Trust me, its safe, or Scratch Team will ban me. :)
We are not using emails now.
Would you like to join? Please fill the form

I would recommend you took off emails in the joining form because that will stop a lot of people from joining and you should add color and BBcode to the FP (if you like I could write you out an FP just fill out the FP form in my shop crafting dreams link in signature)

By the way, if you would like to check out my city builder, then you could maybe get some ideas for the Zoo game, if you want.

No, we will be using both threads. Since this is an ambitious projects, multiple versions of it should be floating around before we merge them into one. Multiple teams = more success in this game :)
Edit: Altion's team has stopped working and have removed their collab.
