project co-manager / co-designer excalisoft anywhere management --- who are we? we are a small company formed around our project sagramore (2d online web morpg). over the years the project has gotten bigger and as we get closer to a release we realize that in order to make our steady frequent content releases we need to get more people on board. we already have years of experience in the field and have gotten nothing but positive replies. we are looking to develop towards a more open platform where player's and modders can contribute to the development (perhaps even do own projects). the game is currently launched as an alpha version, most of the engine has been finished the game mainly just needs content developed for it. as we currently do not yet have a publisher or investor (a true indie) we are looking for people who would like to affiliate themselves with our company and work together to launch a great game. our intentions is to make sure all serious frequent contributors get adequately rewarded in due time (can be signed on contract). even contributions of a few hours a week are considered helpful. --- what are we looking for? one of the positions we are looking to get filled is the one of a project co-manager and/or co-designer, someone who can help out with the planning and (constant) searching of new teammembers to keep the general development flow of the project intact and help a bit with the presentation of the project, such as keeping the wiki up to date, watching third-party forums and keeping an eye on the community (perhaps contribute a bit of simple npcs yourself using our easy scripting language). this project deserves more attention then i can currently give it in my free time. so if you are a teamplayer prefer spending time on "creating" games/communities rather then play them and can afford to spend those few extra hours a week, then you might just be our guy/girl ;) -- project info: name: sagramore genre: fantasy type: (m)morpg description: sagramore is a 2d realtime web (m)morpg that takes place in the world of lumera, you arrive on the new continent of asgard, a new human kingdom that still have yet to uncover many of the mysteries the lands have in store. release state: alpha (live) url: http://www.sagramore.com --- screenshots: http://www.sagramore.com/files/thumb/9/1024/768 http://www.sagramore.com/files/thumb/10/1024/768 preview of our mapeditor: http://www.sagramore.com/files/thumb/30/1024/768 forum: http://forum.sagramore.com irc: irc.exnw.com #sagramore upon submission please include a portfolio, references to past project, proof of experience as well as a personal motivational text. also feel free to join the community and hang around our irc, i'll be happy to have a friendly chat with you.

music and sound producer cube noir anywhere audio/music experience with both bit music and more traditional music production required, as compositions will need to combine elements of each (a la jim guthrie's "ballad of the space babies"). must be able to create music suitable for a retro fantasy/sword and sorcery game setting. must also be able to precisely edit audio panning, for maximum immersion when headphones are used while playing. some experience with producing miscellaneous sound effects like rain, character specific sounds, and others will also be required. also importantly, a good work ethic is required. must be able to respond to emails within a reasonable time period, and must have a passion and interest in the work they are doing we're an indie developer in the truest sense i.e. we're a couple of guys with only what cash we can save from our day jobs, working on this stuff in our bedrooms, attics, garages, starbucks, and wherever else, so we can't offer much at all in terms of pay. what we do offer all team members however is an even cut of whatever money the game makes if and when it is finished and published on desura. this works well for motivating people, because effort in (pretty much) = profit out, but understandably it can deter those who are looking for definite or immediate financial benefit. some examples of past work must be provided, and we may ask for more.

paid positions available for action rpg civilware anywhere, california artists civilware is looking to fill several positions now and in the near future. for a description of what our game will be about and what it will be like go to the bottom of this ad. our game has a small upfront budget of $8000 dollars for resources and team pay. our game will be released on steam. our game is going to be made with a 3d game engine (to be decided) and have original music. positions we need to fill right away: 1. programmer a) responsible for coding the game in whatever scripting language our engine uses. the game contains a lot of dialog, dialog trees, multiple choices, stat gains, and hidden flags and values. 2. lead artist a) responsible for drawing concept art, designing the user interface, drawing or photographing textures, and drawing sprites. 3. project manager a) responsible for keeping people in line, squashing personal issues, public relations. this can be performed by other positions 4. viral promoter/ advertising a) responsible for building hype on forums and -chan sites. manages our twitter, facebook, web page, you tube channel and other fan resources. releases concept art, screen shots, videos and written material to followers. positions we need to fill soon: 3. mapper. a) responsible for creating the maps the player will navigate. the mapper will have some creative input for the environment he creates but will mostly follow the director or lead artist. 4. modeler a) responsible for making character models and items in game that you can interact with. positions we will need if the budget permits. 5. voice actors 6. quest writers positions we don't need or have filled: 1. director 2. assistant director 3. writer 4. musician/composer 5. tester (yet) game premise and goals: our game is going to be a mass effect 2/ vampire the masquerade style action rpg with a major twist. romance is a major part of story and game play. the games nowadays proudly feature “romance options” but they are very very minor, giving players a few choices and a 15-20 second love scene and shy away from even the most simple forms of alternate love. but this game is romance and friendship centric and massively customizable and not afraid to go where other companies will not which is why we call this a “romance rpg.” with 6-8 side characters you can romance regardless of gender, this game will have something for everyone. and in the case your love interest doesn't look the way you like, you can customize their gender and appearance. no, this is not a dating sim, it will have action and problem solving gameplay. romance is not required, but friendship will be explored with all characters before the game is fully unlocked and completed. this game will be mod friendly. the game is quest based, rewarding players with points to place in the stats and abilities of their choosing. the game's main goal is to immerse themselves in their own action movie, challenge their critical thinking and touch them emotionally. the games themes are realism with a pinch of the supernatural and moral ambiguity. the bioware model of good, neutral and evil choices are too black and white for the complex minds of the rpg fans. because rpgs and games are dumbed down players “aim” for a finish or personality style they want by picking obvious choices. we want players to be themselves get to their destination naturally. this will allow them to play the roll in a roll playing game, something we sorely miss in today's games. because the writers and directors of this game know how to tell a good story, this game is sure to be a hit. and as the first game of a new genre, your artwork will be on everyone's lips.
