   Begining team seeks members. Young and old, new and experienced!
  Shadowblade Studios is now looking for new members!Team name:Shadowblade StudiosProject name: TBABrief description:The team will be working on a few arcade style games to begin with, so everyone can get comfortable with the XNA framework and the team members. We will then move into a more complex main title that we may be able to market. This is not a guarantee just wishful thinking. If this has got your intrest post here or PM me.The team I hope to be mixed with new people to the gaming industry mixed with very experienced people. We can hopefully all learn from each other and build a successful title! The game itself is in the planning phase. I am almost done with the GDD and working on some concept art and other pre-production necessities. As for the game itself we plan to make it an MMO but start small with just a simple 2d RPG. The premise is; you start out on an island as a servant, you go through some training and you must gain levels. Once you have reached level 5 you can pay for a subscription and build your own island. The islands start out with nothing and you must build it up using the citizens that are on your island. After this is accomplished you must start taking over other islands and try and be the leader of the world. That is the game in a nut shell. If you wish to know more simply PM me.Target aim:Available to download on our homepage.Compensation:This will be a hobby team as of now. If revenue is taken in from the team you will be payed a share.Technology:We will be using XNA as our basic programming tool. As for modelling we will be using blender. Music will be done using Sibelius 5, or another alternative.Talent needed:Programmer [3]Artist [3]Music [1-2]Writer [1]Concept [1]Web page designer [1]Team structure:We currently have [4] members.

So this is the teams first project.Additional Info:I really appreciate you taking the time to read this. If you are interested, please post. More info is available upon request.Feedback:All types of feedback is encouraged!Below I have enclosed a copy of the email I sent all my members. If you are interested in the team, please read the below email. I have got many applications working on reviewing them all now! Soon I will have my own forums up and running so we don't need to clog up the Help Wanted section. But if anyone is still interested I am still taking applications. Below is the tests.Thank you for your interest in Shadowblade Studios.> I hope we can all work together and complete a simple 2d game and hopefully work from there. This is a hobby team and if you are expected a guaranteed profit please don't bother. What I am asking from you is to do a simple task so I can assess what you know this far.> Programmer:>   Advanced: develop a program that can find the sum of an arithmetic sequence.>   Intermediate: Develop a calculator with as many keys as you can.>   Novice: Develop a simple program that just says a line.> Modeler:>   Advanced: create an animated short film of a minimum of 1 minute in length.>   Intermediate: Texturize and model a character.>   Novice: make a cool scene of your choosing.>> This is all I have for now I believe that is all I am sending to anyway. If you want a different approved project please email or pm me with your idea.> Programmers can develop their programs in c# and modelers in blender. Email with questions. The more advanced you do the better chance of making it you have. But don't get discouraged. I accept all applications and look at how hard you tried and how much effort you put into it.> Yours truly,> Stu Kruske[Edited by - Admin God on November 22, 2009 11:22:19 AM]
