   Writers needed for post apocalyptic game.
  Disclaimer: This recruiting post is for the initial core team. That means the work done with those recruited from here will be mainly speculative. Creating ideas, gameplay, characters, creatures, technologies etc. This team will be the world builders. Team name:To be DecidedProject name:To be DecidedBrief description:"It was bound to happen.We knew for some time the many ways humanity might end. We knew, but we were powerless to take steps to stop them. For all our power and innovation we were weak. For all our mastery of the world, it still defied us. Not only did it defy us, but it crushed us without mercy.Science warned us, pollution, plagues, tectonic plates, planet busting meteors. They kept telling us over and over again we are doomed. Well, we "are" doomed. It started with the eruption of Kilauea, obliterating the Hawaiian islands. Instantly killing every living person on those islands. Volcano's all over the world followed until the super volcano in Yellowstone blew. The sky went dark, planes fell from the sky as the engines became choked with ash. Some people suffocated, some burned and more in the years that followed froze to death as the earth temperature dropped, and kept dropping. The few places that survived the explosions around the world were mostly on shores and those places no longer survived when the tsunami's arrived. Survivors retreated, underground. Military bunkers, vaults, massive cave systems. Any place that could hold families and groups became new homes for decades. Some became self sufficient, some starved and others died when they went to the surface to see if it was habitable. Yet Somehow, we survived. All over the world, handfuls of men and women lived huddled in the darkness. Were there was once billions, there now only were hundreds of thousands. We soon became patient and waited below the ground as the world above us healed, the skies cleared and nature took over once again. Plant life and animal life flourished, cities became overgrown and the skies clean. The earth was healed. We did not know for so long, decades passed before the first were brave enough to venture outside. We have just begun to rebuild our lives. What  awaits in the future is unknown, but we know we cannot go back to the way things where. Not ever."The base idea I have came to me while sitting down and playing Kings Bounty. I've always enjoyed the genre of game that falls in the category of "Kings Bounty" and "Heroes of Might and Magic". Soon after playing it I played a well known flash game titled "Caravaneer". Caravaneer is a trading game set in a post apocalyptic world, both those games together created the seed of an idea in me. The basic premise is this. A couple of decades after a world shaking calamity, be it war or natural, mankind takes his first careful steps from the safety of bunkers, shelters and caves. Enclaves, tribes and small city states are soon formed, all fighting over the remains of the past. The player is a member of one of these tribes. He will get to choose a tribe, enclave or small city, his skills, stats and occupation. The leader of his home will start out the story with a simple courier quest. This will be the first step that leads to the character becoming embroiled in a story of intrigue, danger and suspense. The player can acquire troops, items and vehicles to accompany him. I want a form of trade involved as well. The game will be top down, mouse driven. Target aim:The goal I always start with in projects is mainly to tell a story and entertain, that being said I would like to make money off my endeavors some day. This could start freeware and have sequels that are acquired for moneys, or if it is of spectacular quality we could publish and charge for it straight out of the box.Compensation:Profit will of course be divided based on amount of work done and difficulty of work. If it remains freeware and is successful team will have the choice to automatically opt in to the next team for the sequel or a new paying project.Technology:None as of yet but there are a few things I'd like:Windows compatibleResource lightmainly mouse drivenTalent needed as of now:Writer - The main team  as of now will consist of writers. Mainly two writers of established backgrounds. The writers must be published somewhere although it does not matter if they make any royalties from the work. The writers Primary goal is story and character creation, minor goals are technology, environments, social and political factions etc.Concept artists - This team member is critical, he will take the concepts and ideas of the writers and give visual references for the rest of the team.Programmers - Someone or someones with a knowledge of programing will be required to let us know what or will not work. Will create a prototype of engine or help acquire the best one for our project.Of course if you have another position you want to fill that is not listed you are free to contact me.  Any and all talent is accepted and recognized.Team structure:Donovan Quinn: Has spent the last four years working as a PR agent developing internet presences for independent musicians and businesses.
