   Designer Wanted for Text Based RPG
Project name:The name will most likely be generated by the lead designer.  And as there is no designer right now, there is no name.Brief description:I am currently working on a Java, text based RPG.  At first the game will be single player, deployed as a web applet, then as the game engine matures, I would love to convert it into an online multiplayer game of sorts.  I've been working on the code on and off for a couple months now.  At the moment, I've achieved my first major milestone code-wise.  The level creation engine is up and running.  In other words the player is created, the world is created and the player is entered in the world and is able to move around via various keyboard commands.Target aim:The game will always be free, however once it gets to the online multiplayer phase, I would like to implement some kind of system where player can pay for credits to buy special items or stats.  That would be far in the future though.Compensation:No compensation until we are able to generate income.Technology:The core code is written in java with some additional libraries to help with things like XML parsing and database connectivity.Talent needed:Here is where you come in!  I am looking for a lead designer.  The background story, characters, attributes, NPC's, dialogue, items, and especially level design will be up to the lead designer(s).  If this proves to be too much of a monumental task, then the level designer will be a separate position.  The lead designer will be responsible for putting together a design document which will contain all of the details outlined above.  Since I've already created the core code, I need a designer so I can fine tune the code for our needs once the design concept is set in stone.Team structure:Me - ProgrammerWebsite:We will set up a temporary free site (probably on blogger or something) to track bugs and tasks that need to be completed.Contacts:PM me and we can get in touch.Previous Work by Team:I work as a Java web developer and have various small side projects including pong, tanks, and other academic examples from my study as a computer science major.Additional Info:At the moment I am really looking for an engaging deep rich backstory.  I have no creative ability whatsoever, so a strong lead designer is vital to this project.  As the level creation code is created I also want to test it out by having the level designer create and link up several rooms and since this is text based the level designer must have good writing skills.Feedback:ANY
