So what are you making?

[ZacharySciApps]

I am not really certain yet but I am considering an RPG/ Adeventure/ Puzzle game where the user has to interact with scenario with the mouse and move the player with the WASD keys etc

[Taehl]

I think you'll find that people (especially experienced ones) are far more willing to join if you have a nice, big, thorough design document for them to read as well as a gameplay prototype. You may be surprised how often people pop up with nothing but a "I need team members to help me build an MMO" (or whatever, not just MMOs are subject to this), and, well, the results are pretty disenchanting.

Good luck with your company.

Be a little more original than that...

You should really plan things out more before you start recruiting people.

Do you think people will listen to you if you said "I have a good idea, I just haven't thought of it yet"?

You've gotta give us something to go off of, and when it comes to games, too far fetched ideas should be left on first doubt or they can bring your project to a screeching halt, and originality is key in the indie game scene. It may be deceiving seeing all these indie games becoming so popular, but for each successful game there are plenty more clones, bad/unoriginal games, and poorly implemented games thrown on the indie corpse wagon.

Stop worrying about clones, unless you have an original idea. And give us something to go off of.

Not meaning to be judgmental, but I have a feeling you don't have enough experience, you should really look into doing some small games and projects by yourself first before you try and take off with a full blown development team.
