Follows each module as it develops and is worked on. Sets up things like milestones and timelines. Not really desciding things because everything is done on the vote system.Game Creator (Chris, Jon, Andrew)Orignal Creaters of the game. They are the overseers of the whole project. Not that there word is law. Everything here in our Island of Game Design is by vote. (Though some power still lies with us, but none of us are power hungry.)Game Engine Designer (Chris Westbrook)This person is creating the 3D Engine that is required for the type of game that we are making. The engine for our game is being build from scatch (with opengl).Network Programming Engineer (**OPEN**)Sets up the communication of client and the server. Also will create all the functions that are needed to run the world. (Example, Battle Caculation, spawing system, and storing character data)Game Design (**OPEN**)This person is in charge of developing everything from what races and classes that are in the game. This will carry over to developing Inventory, Monster, Item, Quests, ect. This is one of the biggest role. I feel that this postion will grow to be much more of a managment position. Leaving it open to hire more then one person to play with the world and features inside of it.Storyline Designer (**OPEN**)This person is writing the book about our game. From its creation to its death. If something is in the game, he knows why its there, whos it calls mother and why he only has one hand. Many teams will work with him to make sure that the ideas they want to create will fit into this world.Art Desinger (**OPEN**)Again this will become more of a management position later. For now this is the person that creates/gets the concept art and follows it to 3D and into the game, making sure that the look of the game is acceptable from an art prespective. He will aslo work closly with the game designer, allowing a clear picture of the world to be created.Sound Director (**OPEN**)This person will handle all sound effects, music, and voice overs. This should be fit into the game, leagal for us to use and have the quality that we are looking for.Web Manager (**OPEN**)This person will be in charge of maintaining the forum, public website(once it is up), He Will also make sure the control of information, work closely with the Public Relations person, for advertizment.Just go to www.Tri-Des.net *Disclaimer: This project is going to be a free month-month, with the option for people to pay month-month for advanced features. If this game does begin to make money most of the money will be going back into the game for expanding servers, Pizza Fund, ect. If/When there is profit we will offer contracts for people who have helped with the game offering them a fair part in the spoils. Though remember we are not developing this game for money. We are doing this for fun and to have a game that we deveopled from scratch. We will respect everyone's Ideas and offer what compensation we have. I feel that eveyone that contruibtes to the game will get a free copy of the game plus free game play no matter what. In addition, people on the development team could be contracted for futher games or projects. Don't get discouraged, none of us are gready and we hope that you are doing this because you have a passion for gaming that we do.[edited by - cwestbrook20 on May 26, 2004 7:20:41 PM][edited by - cwestbrook20 on May 26, 2004 8:48:29 PM][edited by - cwestbrook20 on May 29, 2004 9:00:15 PM]
  Another MMORPG? What''s it about? ;  IF you take a look on the Link (http://www.tri-des.net)there is a nice Introduction. Gives you the basic Idea.   [edited by - cwestbrook20 on May 26, 2004 2:05:33 AM];  Why would people chose to help yours over other projects when you have stated that you have failed once before ?   The ever vigilant... ;  I would say just the fact that he has decided to get back on that high horse after being kicked in the teeth would be evident enough.  Not to mention from my experience-there is much a person can learn even from a project that may not actually reach "alpha" stage.  We must not forget that most posts in this forum are for independent developers trying to attract independent talent.  If we were all "commercially" ranked then what would be the purpose?  Check out the forums on his webpage-though things are somewhat old they still show some promise towards the conceptual idea.  Not to mention other administrative work.  We all failed at one point in our lives what would happen if thats all we got.  One chance?  ;  Failures can be assets too. ;  Well the reason of the so-far mentioned "Failure" is that a lot of us work at Hewlett Packard and found we were the going to be the product of anohter out sourcing. That tends to steal a lot of peoples time now days. As much as I would love to spend all my time on making a game... (*Dreams*) ... I still have to pay rent...lolNow My non-working Hours, Compleatly different. You would be suprised on how much we have for only the three early months it was worked on. Luckly a lot of us are local and can meet in person for our Once a month required meeting.(So if you are in the Sacramento/ Bay Area, CA you cannot pass this up, but as always its BYOB) But with everyone from the pervious Core Development Team Scattering, I am looking into people who have the same passion for gaming and design that we do.  [edited by - cwestbrook20 on May 26, 2004 12:41:23 PM];  Someone Asked for a screenshot... how about a concept drawing from one of the races in the game?http://www.tri-des.net/forum/files/lion-warrior.jpg ;  I like the idea! I might be able to assist with what little free time I have, but I''m willing to help! ;  Some more minds could be used in making this project a success.  Some people may be afraid of joining a project that was put on hold once, but dont be diswayed.  You can still learn alot.  If you want to finish a project then you need to bring that into the team.  Success can only be acheived through you.  No work is ever wasted.  So please drop by the site and register at the forumns.  Even if you are not interesting in actually developing the game your input would be greatly appreciated in the basic concepts.
