There doesn't seem to be a Help Wanted subsection of the forum here, so I will post here in the hopes that this will either end up in the location, or will be directed to the correct one.
Team name: Stormware Studios (not a registered company name)
Project name: Odyssey
Brief description: Odyssey is a small-scale multi-player role-playing game, a long-term project which I have been involved with for over 2 years, in terms of design, API research, fiction-writing, and programming. I have incorporated some elements of other related personal gaming projects I have worked on prior to this.
The genre is a fantasy game with elements inspired by literature and research involving Iron Age-era Celtic nations.
Typical multiplayer RPG elements are planned, such as character management, social interaction on levels ranging from individual to business to kingdom, combat, skill acquisition, and property ownership. Virtual-world features are planned which include transitions for days, seasons, years, and lifetimes.
Target aim: The target audience is roleplay-centric players; those who enjoy social engagement, exploration, and community growth. The intent is to provide a large community of 50-100 active players with a virtual stage upon which to interact.
Compensation: Compensation will be in the form of percentage-of-revenues upon game launch. There is no initial funding available.
Technology: The Odyssey game client uses a myriad of open-source APIs: Ogre3D (plus supporting APIs Caelum, PagedGeometry, OIS, and Hydrax), and CEGUI. The game server interfaces MySQL for game-data storage. Client and server speak ENet to each other.
Talent needed: Currently, the team is searching for a Content Developer, which consists of 3D modeling, texture design, and animation.
Team structure: We currently have four team members:
- Myself: Programming, Project Management, Website maintenance
- Daevius: Web development
- Tim: Music composition
- Tommy: Fiction writing and research
- Darren: 3D modeling, texturing

Additional Info:
Odyssey is influenced by late-1980's/early-1990's roleplaying games such as Ultima, Times of Lore, Knights of Legend, and gold-box SSI RPGs. I appreciate the level of detail of the fiction found in these games, and strive to adopt this mindset with regard to Odyssey's development. In recent past I have administered online virtual roleplay-centric worlds, and want to carve a niche with Odyssey which caters to their interests.
Feedback: Not interest in any.
