Re: Non Funded Indie Developer. What do I ask?
Being that I have an indie studio... and have asked several people in the past to work for free I think I can give some good advice here.. First, I agree with the "is it fun enough to buy" test.

It all depends on how much faith you have in the end product. I like to think of the Beetles. What was that 5th Beetle thinking when he quit?

Re: Non Funded Indie Developer. What do I ask?
Go sign the NDA and ask to play their "almost complete" game. If you would buy the game for $20 then join, if you would play it if it was free then consider joining and if you wouldnt even play it for free then just walk away. Try to find out what the next game is supposed to be like and try to figure out how big step… -

Re: Non Funded Indie Developer. What do I ask?
Give them a tentative agreement, as much promise the project and the team shows, don't commit to staying on the team very long. Only time will tell if it's worth staying around and if the team has the ability to deliver. The nature of these projects tends to cause them to fail because anyone with a full time job, school…
