[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]The working title for our project is Destinow although we have a trademark application for a more direct and descriptive title that will be made public in the coming week.

[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]Brief description:[/font][color="#181E29"][font="Arial"] [/font]
[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]Destinow is a location based application developed to compete in the location based services and gaming market. It is a social utility that allows people to see the people places and things around them while competing in real world games with real people either virtually or physically.[/font]
[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]Target aim:[/font][color="#181E29"][font="Arial"] [/font]
[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]This application is a free to use service for anyone with a desktop or mobile based browser. Although it is currently primarily a utility, our goal is to turn the whole applications focus into a game. As it was designed in HTML5 it is browser agnostic. Phase 2 which will be commencing in Q4 2011 will see the development of Android, Iphone app versions.[/font]
[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]Compensation:[/font][color="#181E29"][font="Arial"] [/font]
[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]Part-time or full time employment is the end goal for the right type of people. Up until this point we have hired one full-time project manager who has been dealing with our outsourced team. For full-time employment you must be located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. For part-time, freelance, contract or volunteer positions we are open to varied working arrangements. Rev share is a possibility for the right person/people.[/font]

[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]This app is designed for mobile and web. HTML5 front end, Ruby on backend. Linux hardware moving to the amazon cloud. Ajax, JSON, MySQL. Soon to be Iphone and Android.[/font]

[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]Talent needed:[/font][color="#181E29"][font="Arial"] [/font]
[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]Right now we need someone with graphical art experience as we need to bring the right "feel" to the project. Design of icons, colour schemes, gameplay elements (Taking place on Google Maps) as well as naming of levels, badges, special items, Virtual currency all needed. All elements must be designed within a common theme and feel which although we have some ideas on are not committed to. The ability to visualize the big picture while physically manifesting this down to the smallest detail would be ideal. It would be great if it were the case but we do not expect one person to do this on their own so you must play well with others:) Your creative input will be invaluable and we don't believe any idea is too crazy. Eccentrics are welcomed.[/font][color="#181E29"][font="Arial"] [/font]
[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]Team structure:[/font][color="#181E29"][font="Arial"] [/font]
[color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]I am the co-founder of the company and make all final decisions regarding design, implementation and direction. I am responsible for bringing the right people together and giving them everything they need to succeed. We have one full-time project manager and up until this point have hired up to 10 outsourced workers at times.[/font]

Contact us and we'll get you access. We have a website that is on a test server and domain. If you are interested we can get you preliminary access but as we are in the bug fixing stage, we will not be releasing the URL publicly until we completed testing.

[font="Arial"][size="5"][color="#181E29"][color="#181E29"][font="Arial"]Here are some older shots of the site that I have kept very simple to illustrate the point. One is from the social side the other is from the game side. If you would like a more detailed description, explanation or conversation, please get a hold of me in person. With your help we can change the world by blurring the lines between the real world and the virtual. Why can't life be a game?[/font]
