   Browser based strategy game seeks Java programmer
  Team name:Team SabreProject name: Dragon WarsBrief description:A turn-based browser multiplayer strategy game.  Players (2 - 25 per game) join games from a lobby and start with one captain.  The goal is to the be last captain alive.  Each turn consist of three phases.  In the first phase you chose a unit to place on the board from a randomly generated hand at the beginning of the game.  The second phase you place your unit on the game board around your captain.  The first phase you command your units to move and/or attack enemy units/captains in order to kill other captains whilst defending your own.  This game is loosely based on the cult classic game "Chaos" developed by Julian Gollop.  You can get a great idea of how the game will be designed by playing another adaptation of Chaos called "Cyber Battles."  It can be found at http://www.duelboard.com.Target aim:browser based free to playCompensation:an undisclosed sum to be paid upon completion *please contact Laurence (King Sabre RS@aol.com) for further information on compensation issues.Technology:javaTalent needed:A java programmer to do all programming involved.  Game play and networking.Team structure:Laurence (game designer) - AIM: King Sabre RS   Email: King Sabre RS@aol.comThe Cold Mage - GraphicsDoppleganger - GraphicsRage - Website DesignerWebsite (forums):s12.invisionfree.com/dragon_warsContacts:King Sabre RS@aol.comAdditional Info:The project is partially complete.  Toolmaker did most of the networking stuff.  If Laurence decides to buy his work, then all that needs to be done is the programming of the gameplay.As you can probably tell from this lousy attempt of a request, I'm not part of the development team.  I'm just good friends with the developer.  Recently the programmer that he hired ran out on him, so he is looking for a more dedicated one.  So if you're interested in fully programming a low to moderately in-depth game in java, PLEASE contact Laurence at King Sabre RS@aol.com.  Thanks much!//EDIT: Gave your thread a title. - Kaz//EDIT: Hehe, thanks.  Sorry I missed the title! -Lute[Edited by - Lute on June 18, 2006 2:38:07 PM]
Quote:Original post by LuteRecently the programmer that he hired ran out on him, so he is looking for a more dedicated one.I do feel the urge to reply to this in person. The mods are free to delete this post if it might inflict damage.I was initially hired for the job, and I did start on the work. However, I made a far too optimistic timetable, which got me into trouble. However, when I contacted Laurance, he got every unreasonable. He want to cut down on the pay for one.I never ran on him, but after he called me arrogant and a few other things, I decided to drop the project. I do not accept that any of my clients threat me in disrespect.I do say, the project was fun to work on, and has some potential if worked out properly. Even if you finish the basics of the project, there is still a lot more to be done, and thus, perhaps a good pay.Toolmaker;  Laurence would like for me to mention that they agreed in advance to shave the pay if the project was going to be very late.  It was a condition for taking the job.I'm sorry to the mods if this thread seems to be senseless arguing and it seems to be going in that direction.  I would like to add to Toolmaker that I appologize for any harm caused.  It wasn't my intent.  Please in the future contact me via private message so we can sort things out before posting.   ;Quote:Original post by LuteI'm sorry to the mods if this thread seems to be senseless arguing and it seems to be going in that direction.
