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.

How is 3D harder than 2D in online? Tis all the same in the end,just another coordinate
As for making this a team based thing…the larger the team, the easier it is to fragment and fall apart. You'll want to more go over a group of people who know each other and can work togetherif the game is big enough and great quality, than i could potentially put your game on my site with a subsite for you that links to the alertgames.net account system. all for free. just an offer if it turns out to be amazing.
@Fcon: And what makes me the cold-hearted bastard? Half of what I do concerning you is a joke.
@serp: That's why I'm getting mostly people I know and like.@Alert: If you hve a point system or some method of multiplayer through a server, that would be perfect. If not, your offer is very generous, and I'll take it – if it's good enough. ;)You just take it too seriously.
yessir ^_^
