Take 1974 Original Dungeons&Dragons
Take roguelike game in spirit of original Rogue

Additional Info:

I wont lie to you. The programmer I worked with decided to bail.
RPG is a complex undertaking and is not for faint of hart. You need stamina.
The results are not close and you can see the game in its glory only when you are far into making it.

This project is suited only for people that really love the genre.

Still I strongly believe that this project has potential. Mobile platforms have nothing like this , and there is army of old RPG fans that want to relive old days on their mobile devices.( Or on PC for that mater )

This game will be dedicated to memory of Gary Gygax..

ANY

Hi.

Im very interested in your project. Im especialy Interested since It seems that you allready have some game ready artwork and i love the style. I have some projects Im working on (check my signature) but they are mostly half done and somewhat because i have an eternal struggle to find artists that actualy producde enough content for a complete game before their real life issues takes over or i just never hear from them again.

I use my own java based engine and all my games can be run from the browser (like youl see on my site). Although it can also be a loose download. As for mobile devices. I am planning on making my engine compatible with Android in the near future.

Hello,

Are you still looking for a programmer? I have been programming in C/C++/Java for a long time and just graduated with a B.A. in Computer Science. I can share some of my sample code for projects I have worked on. Would love to join your team. I can also help create a website, and have experience developing on the Android operating system.

PM me if interested

Just to make sure, I e-mailed you (using the link on your profile) about hiring a composer just recently. Hopefully that is the e-mail you are referring too.
