   Game Programmer Needed
Team NameN/A at the moment.Project name:StrifeBrief description:The project is a Source Engine mod (Source Liscence possible in very near future). Basically we're bringing an original artistic style to really show off the visual capabilities of the engine. While the art, levels, and characters are completely original, the gameplay is a replica of GameCubes Super Smash Brothers. We have many reasons for this. 1) Most popular GC game, with the biggest complaint of no online play. 2) A very simple fighting system that easy to just pick up and play but deep enough to master. 3) Having an already balanced character/gameplay set up 4) Gives us a chance to take a great game to a new audience, that was overlooked by older audiences due to it's aim towards younger gamers.Target aim:AS OF NOW- This will be a free mod available through Valve's Steam. We have the finances to buy a Source Engine liscence to sell retail, but through steam and being free, we can reach a really wide audience which is more important to us then money.Compensation:We would love volunteer work but we CAN pay. Wage is negotiable: can be done based on each task, hourly pay, it's all up for negotiation. I wont quote a price, contact me for more information on that. Realize this is not a random idea mod, alot of planning has gone towards it, and alot of effort. I'm willing to put money in and get no money back, so keep that in mind if your worried about stability of the project.Technology:It will be a PC release through Steam as of now, usin Half Life 2's Source Engine. Talent needed:I like to keep teams small to keep things better organized. Coders: MUST be familiar with C++. Source experience helps but not required.Team structure:I'm the Team Leader, Lead Designer, Head Developer, Lead 3d Artist, Lead Concept Artist, Lead texture artist and Co-Owner.Ian is co-founder, 3d artist, Concept artist, and co-developer.The rest of the team will not be listed untill they officially join. As of now their more freelance/volunteer, not permanant so I won't list yet.Website:Flash site is in progress. We are not releasing any artwork to the public, if your interested int he position and contact me, then we can share artwork.Contacts:I'm the main contact, Email: EtherealEdge@hotmail.com, MSN: (see previous email)  AIM: ThaDura or Ethereal3d.Additional Info:We're very hush hush on art work just because we plan it to be one of the best looking games available through Steam. We want to stock up and launch strong, no leaks till then.Feedback:ANy comments are welcome, even if I didnt mention a position, check if it's available anyway. Any questions on the project, I will warn, we are very careful what we reveal, so you might get dodgy answers. Trust me, even though this is currently a free game, we have our reasons.
