Hello, I am forming a game. You can visit at the game website too, darkenedpro.ownspot.com We need 10 programmers. Every programmer gets 8% of the game income from second month So if we get 1 000 000$, you get 80 000$ Or then you can choose that you want 35$/h for you, what means you get 63 000 in year. And that neans you get 5425$ in one month. The programming lasts only one year Mail me to lotharr@suomi24.fi if you are intersed lotharr@suomi24.fi [Edited by - lotharr on January 16, 2005 10:08:58 AM]

so you already have the cash to pay incase the programmers choose to be paid upfront ? or is it all after the game.

Its not really your fault that you dont speak good english, but i'd advise you to get someone who speaks good english first to help you with the site. I could hardly understand some of the stuff written there

Pay attention what you are offering.You say that you need 10 programmers and every programmer will get 8%.So you basically say that you are giving out 80% to the programmers.What will you earn with just 20%?Not all the income is profit, there are costs.The costs will bill you much more than 20% since it is a MMORPG project and you need a lot of money for marketing, advertising, hosting etc.If the game becomes successful, you will have a lot of debts even you are successful but the programmers will make nice profit.If your game fails,you will still have debts but the programmers will waste at least a year for nothing.

Also i saw that you are offering 5425$ monthly wage for a programmer, so it makes 54250$ monthly cost for 10 programmers.If you have that financial power to pay 54250$ monthly, why dont you hire programmers from your own country instead of asking here?It just doesnt make sense.

There are a lot of useful articles and posts about distributing, designing, marketing games.I advice you to read them first before starting an MMORPG game project.

Sorry, This post is wrong.

This game is wrong, the site is wrong.
Im doing at frist doing the website with Dreamweaver.
The game engine is not DirectX, no im using Torque,or something else.
I maybe use DirectX as my API.
But this game isnt even agangster game, its Sci-Fi.
And more... sorry. lol
