We are currently looking for 4 people to help program both the client and server-side software for a new MMORPG, entitled "X-Shift". Programmers will work closely with the design team and must be reliable and dedicated. The programmers will be expected to initially put in about 12 hours/week to the project. More time is always appreciated.
We are currently developing both a video trailer and a game prototype to include in a proposal that will then be taken to potential investors wthin the next couple months. After funding, all team members will be employees of Phoenix Concepts, LLC. These will be paid positions and possible relocation will be discussed then. The deadline for the project will then also be 2 years, and employees will be expected to work at least 40 hours/week.
Our team consists of professionals, most of which have degrees, certifications and/or job experience in their related field. We regularly discuss updates on the project on our forums and through AIM. Also, we have voice chat meetings at least once a month via Ventrilo. (voice capability is not required, as we also discuss through text at these meetings).
X-Shift is a true 3d MMORPG (meaning we intend to make full use of the 3d environment). Its set in a dark urban setting (Shadowrun, Blade Runner, Robocop, Johnny Mnemonic, etc.) It will have several innovative features as well as an innovative process for managing and maintaining the game. Players can become scientists, thieves, CEOs, Police Officers, shop owners, performers, etc. More details and design docs will be provided to people once they join the team.
