Tsunagari Tile Engine

[Seisatsu]

"Tsunagari is an original tile-based multiplayer game engine written in C++. The project was begun in late 2009, and is the first project of the Omega Software Development Group. In fact, OmegaDev was founded around Tsunagari. Tsunagari was inspired by the gameplay of the cult classic game Yume Nikki. However, it has much wider ambitions.

In addition to the player-centered, tile-based movement system of Yume Nikki, Tsunagari aims to use a client-server model, allowing multiplayer support. Tsunagari also includes a number of subprojects, mostly for custom file formats that will be used by the engine. In addition, the engine will support client and server scripting, and include an intuitive world editor suite, as well as several features which are yet to be decided upon."

Brief: OmegaDev is looking for additional developers! We are specifically looking for those with prior experience with game development in C++. Tsunagari is a new project, and a lot needs to be done before a working demo can be released. Be advised that this is a free, open source project, and we cannot pay volunteers. If you are interested, read below.

Areas Needing Assistance:

• Client User Interface in SDL
• Client/Server Communication using Enet Library
• Embedded Lua or Python Scripting
• Map and Player Handling
• Sound and Music Handling
• NPC Scripting
• Sprite and Graphics Handling
• Just about everything else.

The team currently consists of the two founders. We need help to complete everything in a timely fashion. If interested, please reply to this thread, or send an email to admin [at] omegadev [dot] org.

Please be sure to mention any prior experience with game development. Your reply should include your name, email, AIM or MSN messenger contact, and any other information regarding your skills.

-UPDATE-

The implementations for the two underlying file formats required by the Tsunagari engine, TMAP and TPKG, have been completed. Work can now begin on the client and server frameworks. Casting is still open.
