Well I try to answer some of these questions or defend myself

As I said for now it`s non-profit work, but it can change in close future
Let me know when it does.
Well. You know with such approach as yours I think, that it`ll never be on commercial market. Fortunately more people think different.

Maybe if I had say, a Guarantee, in writing, that I'd get 20% of any profits made off said game, I'd sign up.
I understand yours point of view, but I can`t guarantee that, because Samwise Division is only, as in title, division of Aazero Interactive. We`re working on one of they`re projects. And the thing looks like this: On the first of July we have deadline on tech-demo. Nextly It`ll go to the publisher(s). After that I hope, that some of our projects get some funding. Then we can talk about money in more "serious" way. If you want to participate in this. Go on, but if you`re looking immediately for money it`s not the project for you. So in the conclusion I can`t guarantee you 20% of all profits. But as I said we`re not doing this only for fun. The money will be the consequence of our work.

20% of nothing for all that work?
I think It`s not so much work to do. Mainly, because I was working on some RPG game project as a leader. So arcade game is pretty simple project. Of course we have completly Design Dock and some completly 3d models waiting for testing in the prototype of the game.

Why is it that everyone is trying to make a game? Whatever happened to the programmers that wrote programs which were useful?
Well You miss something. We`re not only programmers. In the team there are 3d art designers, concept artists, music artists and even some writers and of course programmers, but none of them have enough experience to be a Lead Programmer. But the main thing is not also that we like games, but that we want to create them. Show something new and get some place for them in that competitive market.

Not everyone is trying to make a game. Just the newbies with warm, snuggly illusions about what programming is. Once they get a taste of reality, most of them either quit altogether or do something more realistic. The ones that stick with game programming can end up actually doing it, but are cynical and bitter as a result of working in such a competitive field.
Next person missed something. We`re not children, that want to make games just, because we have illusions. No, we believe, that we can do it. And avarage age of our team is 19, so you see, that we aren`t children. Next thing, as I said before, we like to show, that there is always a place for improvment in computer games. We want to create them and later make money from this. Ohh and we`re realistic. In our division there are 12 people and leader of Aazero was working at some titles as proffesional developer. We think, that we can show up on commercial market with succes. The only problem in our division is lack of Lead Programmer.

That`s all, but I must say something for the end. Why do you think, upon what? that we are children without abilitys to end with succes a project like this? It`s so simillar as on polish board about post-apo. It`s just unfair... That`s all.
