   [3D Open RPG] Sylvar Mythic: Rise of Atlantis - Positions Needed
N&N Tech Online is looking to assemble a team for a new and innovative Open World RPG game, Sylvar Mythic: Rise of Atlantis. The game itself is an Open-World Role-Playing Game, Sylvar Mythic: Rise of Atlantis, which will change the way you think of a role-playing game. It is developed/published all by ourselves. Our budget is low because we are 100% independent but since we are very dedicated to this, we pay from our own pockets for the server, programs, copyright, and etc...  Sylvar Mythic: Rise of Atlantis itself is very unique. The design of the game features aspects from popular games such as; Fallout, BioShock, STALKER, Oblivion, and other game titles. The game takes place in the year 2015, and the world has been attacked by a series of earthquakes which almost caused annihilation to the human population. The earthquakes though didn't only cause mass chaos, but unusual sea events have been happening in the atlantic ocean and the United Nation's sent out a boat filled with scientists to observe these events but after several weeks of no communication with the scientists, another team filled with Special OPs were sent to this mysterious zone to find the scientists and get them back home. When the team reaches this mysterious zone, they can not believe what they just discovered.The game has many offerings that other games don't have, one way to let the users feel more connective is a in-game feature to let you stream the game live to a hosted website which others can watch you in the eyes of Sylvar as you go through his story which was told as a mythic!We have over 100+ unique features no other games has to offer!Key Features:• In Depth Character Customization• World Contribution Quests (that will change the world around you as you play)• Heroic War Zone• Ever Shaping World• Special Abilities• Skill Tree• Weapon Customization• Combat System• Trade System• Professions & Crafting• Storage Area• 1st & 3rd Person View• Dynamic World• Arenas• Dueling• And More!Setting: The game takes place in the year 2015, and the world has been attacked by a series of earthquakes which almost caused annihilation to the human populationTechnology: Organization is the number one tool for online based game development teams, and that is why N&N Tech is well known to have one of the most organized team structures. We use Huddle, a online collaboration tool. Huddle gives you simple, secure online workspaces containing powerful project and collaboration tools. Huddle is hosted, there’s no software to download and it’s free to get started. We can assign tasks, meetings, events, and more with this tool! We can use Huddle on LinkedIn and invite others, built in Word and Excel tools, store documents securely protected by a 128 bit SSL, control over who can see and read documents.Sound Engine - FMODCompensation: For now there is no payments for joining and working with the team, but, once the game is launched, all your efforts will be rewarded with wages and other compensations. Plus this is an excellent opportunity to work with an experienced developer on what will no doubt grow to be an extremely popular project. N&N Tech itself has a great team together which just act like a bunch of friends together for a good time! What We Need: Lead Programmer: The lead programmer is ultimately in charge of all programming for the game. It is their job to make sure the various submodules of the game are being implemented properly and to keep track of development from a programming standpoint. A person in this role usually transitions from other aspects of game programming to this role after several years of experience. Despite the title, this person usually has less time for writing code than other programmers on the project as they are required to attend meetings and interface with the client or other leads on the game. However, the lead programmer is still expected to program at least some of the time and is also expected to be knowledgeable in most technical areas of the game.Lead Artist: This person will help establish, interpret, and refine the game design by providing inspirational artwork and by guiding the development efforts of a band of internal artists. In this leadership position, the candidate will also play a key role in establishing a culture that fosters the delivery of a new and exciting game experience.Other roles we are currently looking for: Concept Artists - 3D Artists - Animators - Characters Artists - Programmers - Writers and anything useful that can assist us may contact me for information regarding joining the team.Company Information: The company is currently redesigning most of it's public website, but at the moment we have a forum which is being revamped.http://www.nntechforum.com/Contact: All that are interested can either contact me through GameDev or contact me at Blizzshow@gmail.comAlso, you may join our forums to discuss the game further.Feedback: ENCOURAGING ONLY PLEASEEDIT #1: We have a team at the moment writing a full lore story behind Sylvar Mythic. This doesn't mean we will aren't interested in writers, if you have good writing skills please send us an application. Thank YouEDIT #2: Role for Lead Sound Director has been chosen, we have a professional company which will lead our sound engineers and composers into perfection of the game, and we chosen to use FMOD for our sound engine, since also it has cross-platform so we won't have a problem releasing the game on the Mac OS with OpenGL graphics in our roadmap when we choose to release this on the Mac.EDIT #3: Just added Pre-Game Lore on our forums under Lore category. Please ready on it, since it has very good information about the backbone of the game.[Edited by - Nick_N on April 29, 2009 3:41:59 AM]
