New to the forum, not sure where to ask

Hi all, I'm not really sure where to post this or if this is even the right forum, but I'm trying to find an indie game/project to work on, and honestly I don't even know where to start looking. I've found a handful of projects on these forums, I'm just wondering if there is a centralized palce to look.

Thanks!
S&G

Wow, a writer, artist and programmer who is looking to join an existing project rather than start his own. Very refreshing, guys like you are in high demand and short supply

I recommend checking out the recruitment forum on gamedev.net, join a small project with people who have humble goals and have actually finished some games before (ie, avoid the newbie MMORPGs that are destined to fail

)

There may also be people looking for help in our project announcements forum. I'd recruit you myself for my future RPG if I had the yarbles to commit to some kind of timeframe, but I don't at the moment. I could really do with lots of help writing the story too :/

Probably a more "indie game developer" centralized site like gamedev.net or indiegamer.com would get more hits. If your not looking for a particular engine, then you can also try other engine forums, OGRE, Yake, Source, etc. Just be wary of spamming too many forums, and post probably in a "Help Wanted/Needed" topic or Open/Off-topic Dicussion if that can't be found. Good luck!

Two more hints:
Choose a better title and post in the correct forum.
