We are looking for programmers that have experience in at least one programming language that will be utilized. This means that we are not looking for those that have just started in their venture of the coding world. We will be utilizing Visual3d.NET for this project as it provides an extensive amount of resources that will be required by this project. The languages that will be used in this development are C++ and SQL, as these will provide a stable and user-friendly environment to build and develop our game and its content. These are also the languages that are implemented into the Visual3d.NET engine.
Familiarization with Visual3d.NET would need to be established. This is not a requirement but would be an obvious must in order to complete the development of this game. The qualities of discipline to learn the needs of this project as well as the motivation to complete this project would be needed in order to create a strong team during the development.
The thoughts for the server side of the game would be based in Linux. This is due to the fact that a bare bone installation of Linux would consume much less resource from the actual hardware of the computer than that of a Windows based operating system. It would be obvious that this would play a large role in the amount of users that a server would be able to contain as well as the amount of realms the server could contain.
Our goal for development as of now is to create the following:
1) Ability to create a character
2) Ability to save the created character (to server database)
3) Ability to log into the realm with that character
4) Ability to chat among other players/charaters
5) Ability to navigate the 3D realm with the created character
The game is to be a 3D designed game as it will be easier to correct mistakes and other various problems than that of a 2D game. Taking into consideration that many computer users do not have a 3D capable graphics card we would just suggest that they go out and buy one.
Cross OS gaming is not our main concern at the moment. Maybe there will be talk of development for other OS’s in the future but as of now the only platform we are looking to develop for is Windows (Client Side).
As it sits we are looking into partnerships with a few server hosting companies in order to deploy our game for beta and final releases and well as any testing servers that may be needed.
We are currently looking for members skilled in the following areas:
§ Server-side development
§ Client-side development
§ Database development
§ Web development
