Project name:
Legendary Isles

Brief description:
A isometric mmorpg that is currently online and in testing with the majority of the game already designed and just needing updated graphics, music, and testing.

Target aim:
Free to play right now and eventually if the game does well enough possibly going pay to play down the road.

Compensation:
Negotiable depending on the work done.

Technology:
Developed in VB6.0 and DirectX, the map editor is written in VC++.

Talent needed:
Artists
Modelers
Mappers

Team structure:
I am the team lead and head of the whole project. The project has been in work for 2+ years and has gone through many changes. Right now the team includes one other person who is learning programming and wanting experience in game development.

Website:
www.LegendaryIsles.com

Contacts:
Tanish11@msn.com

Additional Info:
There are a few screenshots on the forums as the website is still under development. I am open to all questions and critics as the game is meant to be design for players by players.

Feedback:
All feedback wanted, nice, bad, whatever.

thats odd. game in VB, editor in VC.

Yea, it was a way to keep up on both languages. The map editor outputs the maps in a special format which are read into the game through VB. So the two really have almost no connection at all.

I know how they work, but wouldnt the game be more powerfull if the game was written in VC and editor in VB?

i'd also like to test your game as mines written in vb6 and id like to see how well it compares to other vb6 engines.

Feel free to test it. The game is open to the public at our website. The server is currently down and will be brought back up this afternoon. As for the difference between C++ and vb6.0 it really depends. I wrote several more basic games in C++ but they were not as heavy on the graphics. With DirectX and API functions I find that vb6.0 can do quite well with games. I haven't really run into any programming problems that I haven't been able to solve yet. Its more design that seems to be holding me back. Is your game testable I would love to see another game written in vb6.0 as there are not many of them out there.
