Programmer looking for a project

*Watches all the MMORPG emails get sent*

Unfortunately, we don''t really need a programmer right now. However, we are continuing work on Mirage 3D in July- which is the only time we''ll have a programming position available.

LOL

To clarify I am not all that interested in building 3D engines or extend them. I prefer getting to the gameplay asap.

Do you have any Java programming experience?

I work on a 3D Fantasy RPG, based on the Nebula2 engine, we're a team of 3 (me: all-around artist and designer, Shalinor: programmer, Cid: story and music)
Shalinor is working on an entity system for the engine at this point.

The game is set on a medieval/fantasy time with humans, elves, monsters, magic, etc. It's going to have a real-time fighting system, where player-skill is important as well as character-skill.

For now we're kinda early, but I can show you this pic of the main character, so you get an idea of the art we are having.
If you're interested I can show you some more art, some music samples, the story and the design doc.

Yes i do but at this point I am not looking for a java game.

Finally someone who doesn''t restrict himself to 2D games or strictly RPGs. I can understand that you don''t want to work on a 3D engine. Our project is currently building a new one. Don''t stop reading yet

We are also building a game library. This game library will be similar to the Half-Life one. It contains only game code and accesses the engine through a simple set of interface functions. This might seem like low level work, but if you were to work with us, you would get an opportunity to build the *game code* from the ground up, this includes taking part in the design and implementation of the entity system and the AI.

Our project is already well established, and you can get more information on our website, if you are interested (see below).

Looking for a serious game project?

Im currently working on an 3d RPG using Irrlicht and could use somebody like you (as 3d programming isnt my strong point). There is still a few issues to polish to have a minimal working graphical engine, in the current state you can click and move the character, render some NPCs and load BSPs.

Still haven''t found a perfect match.

Hey WW =). I got a chuckle out of the MM reply as well, mainly because I resemble that remark haha =).

I''m at work right now or I''d write you a full email but I''d like to get a chance to talk to you so you can grill me about Aakrana. Interview me so to speak. It''s been in development for 2 years now, I''m using an established engine (3DGS) and I''ve got a couple guys toying with the network code.

What I''m looking for right now is to start the C++ coding for the combat / magic / crafting engines.

Anyways I wont waste your time any more. Please, if you can hit the website in my sig and have a peek for a general overview of what I''m doing and expect an email from me tonight.

Thanks for your time and good luck in your search.

Mark

PS: BTW I''m 33, have a house and a family and have been coding in 3DGS for about a year. My professional career is network/IT support.

Aakrana: The Forgotten Lands
If you have C++ experience and wish to
assist in the alpha development of our network
transport using very easy middleware, please contact me.

Ill start off with some info about myself
Name: Mason Pippin
Age: 16
Experience in games: none that i know of

1) I have many well thought out plans for a MMORPG, including the story and setting, im still working on a few of the ideas and im sill open to new ideas. Its not going to be your typical MMORPG.
2)Ive got the ability to contribute myself. I want the game to be really good but i want it to still come together quickly. I'm not doing -anything- else so i have all the time in the world to devote to making this game, even if i lack experience.
3)I dont know what intrests you but the idea is that this game will have extremely good 3d graphics. I know very little about programming (im an artist myself)
5) I dont have an engine or anything. so whatever you have/like to use is fine with me. I dont have anyone working with me yet, so you would be the first person. (mainly becasue this is my first attempt at getting someone)
6) Not having any experience in game developing i dont know -exactly- what you mean by 'startup phase', but i am prepared as far as ideas go, i can make my own art and 3d, and i have all the time in the world.
7) If i dont drive the project i dont think anyone will, like i said, im all alone right now.

The basic idea is that im making a game and i need people to help me.

If i left anything important out, sorry!

-update-
I DID leave something important out, my E-mail address!

Hey, well first off my name is Jesse Race im 17 years old and some partners and I have been developing our project for a while now. It’s a action/adventure game with RPG elements. (THINK ZELDA MIXED WITH FINAL FANTASY) We have much much much more than just a concept. We have a very detailed design document, along with 3d artists, animators, 3 programmers, 2 level designers and a concept artist. Along with myself, who is a producer/creator of the project. Our project is equipped with great gameplay elements, great characters, unbelievable marketing plan, and a story with amazing crossover value We are making the game on the torque engine coupled with C++ language. We have a understanding of what we need to do to make a successful game, the only thing missing is 1 more skilled programmer to set a trend for some of our other programmers who haven’t been in the industry that long. We aren’t trying to make a game, rather to just create a demo to shop to people that I know inside the industry. What I can guarantee is the best opportunity to have a successful game with people who love making and playing them. If you would like more information or have any questions, or just want to take a look at our design document, I invite you to email me at troublesome408@aol.com…

Thank you,
Jesse Race
