Hey everyone, its been a while since I've been on the boards. Good to be back though! For those (probably most) that don't remember me, I originally came here, gathering a team for an MMO called X-Shift.

Well, X-Shift grew to a ridiculous extent, but after about a year and a half of work and no funding, things became shaky. Then, through some personal issues, I lost my internet and the team kinda split up and went their separate ways. I'm still in contact with a few of the members, and will be using their skills on future projects as well.

Currently though, I am looking for some specific skills for a... less ambitious project. It will be an FPS called Stratos Gray. Its somewhat post-apocalyptic, with a heavy angel/demon theme. Currently we are looking to simply put together a Proof of Concept of the game using the Unreal Editor.

We already have a professional 3d modeler (my art director from X-Shift), I will be doing the writing, level design and GUI/2d art, and we have a professional sound and music composer (assuming I can get in contact with him). We need someone familiar with scripting in the UT Editor to put this all together.

I know, this isn't exactly an online game (though it will have online multiplayer capability), but OnRPG is my roots, and I've formed some great teams here. If you, or anyone you know can lend their skills, feel free to contact me here.

If you'd like to see some of our past work, check out the X-Shift site, http://xshiftonline.com

As a closing note here, X-Shift is only put on hold, while we get more small project development under our belts. It will be back.

Thanks everyone!

Long time no see! Sorry I'm not here to volunteer for the position. Just wanted to say hi. It's been a while. Sorry to hear that X-Shift's on hold. I always held hope for that game

. Hopefully sometime in the future thing'll get back on track.

Hope you get your scripter... but... you know onRPG

Same here. Welcome back! I saw your post on shameless promotion and I did not really know what to say. Hope this project is successful!

Thanks for the support guys. As I said, X-Shift will be coming back; we all still very much love that project. We also have several other projects rolling around here, which will also be getting their due attention eventually.

I was just talking with some of the modelers and artists from X-Shift last night (now working with some guys from Bungie and EA). Once I get our design document finished, it looks like we'll be right back on track with a Grade A professional team for this project as well.

Keep the comments coming, and send any UT scripters my way! I'll keep you guys posted on the progress as we go. Anyone have any thoughts on where else I might find some new talent?
