Sabres Guild We are an online guild which has run for 11 years over various games, primarily runescape. Project Name: Dragonwars: This is the working title of the project. Brief description: This game is based on the popular Atari game, Chaos, and its subsequent clone, Cyberwars. We have full authorisation to make this clone from Mr Gollop, who programmed the original game. This is a turn based strategy game played from a java applet with messaging features, fairly complex rules and a lobby system. The original game is very fun to play, and we hope to attract a large playerbase. The previous clone, which is now closed, attracted several thousand players a day. Target aim: Free Website Initially, all revenue from the game would come from adverts. Possible pay to play expansion later if the project is successful. The programmer would be paid regardless. Compensation: Up to $3000. We are a few students, primarily wanting to make a game that we all love, not a company. We can afford to play probably around $3000 between us, and possibly a % of the profits. Technology: Java and MySQL. We want a java applet, probably run from MySQL database. Talent needed: Programmer A programmer capable of leading a programming team to construct this game. Team structure: Myself: I've played the original game for 11 years, and ran an online guild of several thousand members, many of whom are contributing to this project. I designed this clone, and organise the team, etc. There are also two java programmers (students) with limited abilities who can contribute to the best of their abilities in whatever is asked of them. There have been about 8 graphics artists who all have contributed graphics for this project, names can be given on request.

Previous Work by Team: We've made amateur games, including a card game in C+, none of them remotely commercial. Additional Info: This is an amateur project. If it makes a profit, that would be good, but it's primarily being made for fans and by fans. We can't afford to pay professional prices, but we're dedicated people who love the game we're making (if you love turn based strategy games, or even better the initial chaos, there's a high chance you'd love it to.) We have graphics already, and a design document, we have a ready made playerbase of at least hundreds. We would put serious effort into advertising, and this game would look great on a portolio. This project was concieved 3 years ago. Feedback: ANY (With a focus on encouraging if possible.) If this project comes across as amateurish, I'm sorry. Any help towards it would be appreciated, further information is readily available. Please reply if you're interested, or email me. Thanks. :)
