Let's get the attention from that blasted alpha that I never got going. Multiplayer was ruined.
Begone, Cold Weather
So, lovely day, isn't it? Here, it's warming up to the point of meltyness. We were bombarded with snow, about two feet in one day. Afterwards, we got pummeled with MOAR snow. It was terrible news for summer lovers.
Unfortunately for the snow, fortunately for me, it warmed up quickly. Needless to say we only have half the snow we did before, and tht's really saying something.
Legend of the Dark Moon
Yeah, here's the topic of discussion today. I've done significant work on a version of LODM that none of you have heard of. I decided to make a 2D top-down game, just to get the concept. Also, GM's 3D is incapable of doing what I want.
Progress so far: Account registration is done within two hours. I am now working on the login system. Afterwards, I will work on the game, in order of events, and release something to everyone. Maybe THEN I'll try 39DLL again. After all, 2D is easier than 3D in 39DLL.
Recruitment
Here are the areas available:
-Spriting
-Tilesets and Floor BGs
-Music
-Voice Acting
-Concept Design/Suggestions
-Sector Design
-Website Design
SpritingI need some good spriters to help. The character sprites can either be 32x64 or 24x32. I prefer a bigger set of sprites, so I can show more detail.
Besides all types of characters, I also need props, like trees, rocks, foliage, and such. This is a big job, so make sure you have a lot of time. These sprites are usually things to interact with.
Tilesets and Floor BGsAlong with spriting comes tilesets and textures. I need anything from rocks and bushes to ground tiles. Ground tiles would include a forest floor, dirt, grass, gravel, stone, etc. This is another big job that will require a lot of time.
MusicMusic is a minor part. I can do a ot of the music, but with time focused on programming, I have little time for music development. Music should be orchestrated (strings, winds, percussion, brass), so forget anything that fits in the digital group.
Voice ActingI don't need this right away, but I want to find people capable of voice acting, or finding a character they like and doing their voices. It's a small part, but a part nonetheless.
Concept Design/SuggestionsThis is another big part, where you will be in charge of basic ideas. You will decide what comes when, how, etc. You will also be able to decide on what types of cutscenes you want to see. You will not be in the programming, but this is a huge contribution.
Sector DesignThe world is divided up into several sectors, which are between 5,000 and 10,000 pixels long and wide. You will be in charge of designing rooms with tiles and sprites provided. Depending on level of work, you will actually be sending me a picture of the sector. You will need to point out every detail, such as caves and monster spawns.
Website DesignThis part will require a lot of time. I need someone who is skilled with PHP to create the site that links your LODM account to a specific user on the site. With this, I would like to have badges, points, etc. You will be able to buy things like weapons, armor and such with points you earn in-game and from forum posts.
Benefits
-First, you will receive an early release of Legend of the Dark Moon.
-Second, you will be in the credits.
-Third, you will have a staff account, capable or more than user accounts.
-Fourth, you will receive a staff position on the site when it's up.
-Fifth, since many aren't motivated otherwise, I might send a small amount of money. Nothing significant, but depending on my income, it could be something like $10-50 USD.
Final Remarks
I could do most of this myself, but I could use a lot of help. If you would like to help,
send me a PM, e-mail, or IM telling what position you want, the pay you expect, and how experienced you are in that area.I will demand an example of your experience soon, so please be ready.
Whether or not I pay you what you requested depends on your experience, skill, and motivation. If you keep to the project, you will most likely get whatever you asked for, and possibly more.
One last remark, everything must be original. If you attempt to put unoriginal or copyrighted material into the game, you will be kicked from the team and receive no benefits. I will not argue.

Bye All!
Please get back to me as soon as possible. If your read the whole thing, HAVE A COOKIE!
Hoping for an awesome project,

I can do music for you if you'd like. I read the description of LODM in your projects page, and it sounds really good. I'm quite experienced in making music, especially orchestral pieces. I'm a little busy right now with other things, but maybe sometime in the future I could make some music. I wouldn't want to be payed, though.
@ESA: If you found the time to do that, I'd appreciate it. When you do, remember to send me an example. ;)
Naturally :D
Sometime in the future. Yes, sometime in the future I will find the time. Sometime…I'm just not going to bother, seeing as you'd just ignore me.
No, Fcon, I wouldn't ignore you. I'm actually wondering why you deleted all of your comments on my games, examples,and blogs. It does you no good.
It's not a matter of whether or not I'd ignore you. It's whether or not I'd trust you. And whatever you'd do, you wouldn't be allowed near my source at the moment.I got that you dislike me, and I really don't care. But if you would do a good job, stay motivated, etc, there's no reason why you can't take part.Could have. Didn't. Moving on.
You're really one to hold a grudge, aren't you? I tried being nice already. You really need to stop making a big deal over nothing. So stop making your problems my problems. Your fault. You fail.
Now, GTFO of my blog if you're not going to do anything actually productive. <_<kk, I can do… err…
Tilesets and Floor BGs.I expect however much money you want me to be paid, as money being paid to me will go directly towards my PLatformed funding. Delaying isn't cheap, after all.Ahaha…Kenon, I don't need an example from you. I've seen your work. But I didn't want you to get distracted from PLatformed.
Thanks a lot, Kenon.
