M.e.c.h.a~~ (Need Devlopers and artists)

[Michiyo]

Alvite, lets do this,
(Note: Alvite means alright, I just like Alvite better)
The game is currently called "M.E.C.H.A" Until i can create a new better name, Nothing comes to mind at this point sadly.
The basic idea of the game, is Intense First person shooter battling against 1000's of other players, Awesome eh? But its far more interesting then that, Read down!

I'm looking for 1-3 Coders (JAVA ONLY)
And 1-5 Artists!
And some people who understand networking and such, We'll be using JMONKEY and i also need LEVEL creators as well.
Alvite alvite, I'm gonna go right into telling you some major features. (I'll shove them in a sticky or whatever you can call it, to save space)

Customization will be a major factor in this game, Hundreds of thousands of customizable parts for your M.E.C.H, And thousands for your actual character, From colors of your M.E.C.H's individual parts to the color of your socks on your character, This in my opinion will be a fun added thing because it gives players a level of freedom most games can't offer.

Freedom to explore!
This idea is basically exactly what it sounds like, Don't get me wrong, the main idea isent about running around in your M.E.C.H blowing things to hell, Its much more then that, Explore inside every house, Every building, Every cave, And so on. I want no boundary's for the map, Since it is a planet it will have a globe effect, No walls, No roofs, No invisible barriers This again, Is a major freedom most games cannot offer.

Vast range of weapons, vehicle's, and other such things, Yet again, Don't get me wrong, You arnt only restricted to a M.E.C.H you can walk on foot, Ride a Pedal bike, Ride a motorbike, Car, jeep, Trucks, Tanks, Helicopters, Planes, Jets, Submarines, Boats, Battle ships, and M.E.C.H's, Players will be able to fully outfit each vehicle with unique looks, And weapon layouts. From having a small hand held gun on a bike, To massive laser beams on your M.E.C.H's Each has its own cost and advantage, Each also has disadvantages, Another freedom games don't give you, Since your slapped with pre-made shit there to lazy to allow you to make your own. Weapons them selves will cover from kinetic weapons to Massive over sized lasers.

Freedom of jobs and obtaining cash!
This in it self is a major game, You will be able to do things from being a piety thief to an extremely renown CEO that brings in Billions or even Trillions of dollars, Some basic jobs would be... Thief, Fisher (Yep fisher), Miner, Solider, Politic, Business man and that's just to name a few.
I'll explain what the jobs do below. NOTE: Jobs will NOT be forced on you, Do every job available if you want or do none, But the large array of jobs will basically class you under one anyway.


The ability to Loot anything and everything! You can capture enemy vehicle's sell them off, Destroy buildings and grab things such as books, Weapons, Food what ever you would normally find and sell it for a quick buck, You can also salvage A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G off dead units and players, But that is left to chance and how you destroy the enemy, Blow the enemy to hell with an endless hail storm of missiles and god knows what, You'll get crap all, Kill the pilot and don't damage the Vehicle? EVERYTHING.

Sick of obeying your crappy king? Queen? Lead a rebellion! Gain support of peasants (Civilians) The military and other players and fight the current leaders! If you win you will be able to control the entire kingdom!, Not enough power to defeat the current kingdom? No one will support you? Make your own country and force them to, Rule the ones who wish to rule you.

Team work is required! No names above players in combat, No radar, If your not careful, You may be destroying your friends and Allys! Keep in constant communication or you could destroy your own friends!

------------------------
Greater job description:
Miner: This job lets players go into deep mines and mine out, Rocks and ores to sell to other places, Mining is an extremely important job as it will drive the crafting world. Players can have cheap pickaxes or use Massive mining M.E.C.H's that shoot lasers or even missiles to extract ores, Of course rockets would be quicker, But it would give less ore, Since you blow it up.

Fishing: Yeah i said fishin, Fishing can be done by using a simple fishing rod, Or massive ships that drag up masses of fish, Don't get me wrong, These rnt Normal fish, Think 30x larger for the small fish, This business can make you billions or trillions of dollars in a short amount of time, This of course will be extremely hard because of the massive ship sizes needed and that would be extremely costly in it self.

Military: Join the military force of your country and the country will be signed to a contract, You will be given payment of what is stated in the contract, Being mission payments, Opening equipment, And continuous rewards after set missions, New contracts can be made to help good loyal troops become good loyal and RICH troops.

Thief/Bandit: This job will allow players to steal, Rob, And so on, Nothing really else to talk about here.

Business Man: This job basically would be, Open a shop, Business, Or major company, Buy and resell, Buy and make, So on, One of the best jobs, But long and hard work, Pays off well if you can do this.

Politic: Only good if you are in a diplomatic nation and can become a politic, You can become a president or some other named thing, Long, Bad pay, But the easiest safest way to becoming leader. Honestly a shitty job, But can have major payouts if your lucky enough.

Again, Not important to have a job, And there will be many more extra jobs.

(This is only a tiny part, I just wanted to post a few ideas, so you get the general idea of the whole game)

The thing that really gets people going and totally ready to try and make something happen, is when you say exactly what you can do and what your role will be.

Im currently just helping a friend, because i dont know anything about this stuff, Although im trying to learn, He is an able JAVA coder and will be able to help in a many ways. And coders and what not, will be rewarded in the end for help they provide, alot of help or only little. All help will be rewarded. That is what they get since i cannot personally provide overly much help.

You really need to check out this post:

Cayle's guide to landing a date and recruiting team members

This is very informative and may help

[Michiyo]

Helped, i spose but if your implying I'm doing a "don't" I'm just posting for a friend, since i had an account here and he didn't have one so i posted, He is a good java coder and is able to assist in many ways, he is not gonna sit on the side lines and demand people to do this and that while not lifting a finger.

You're hiring developers and artists for no money at all, and they will get a permanent premium membership?
If this was a browser game I would agree percentage or co-ownership would be the least suffice, but you're having a dream written down. You will not finish or even start this project.

Get a grip, kid.

[Michiyo]

Actually were coming up to an early alpha test soon, so we have started. And i;v also decided to postpone this now due to the main devoloper taking a small break.

[hallsofvallhalla]

it sounds great. I recommend some screenshots if you got any. What about a website?

Are you guys using Jmonkey or building from ground up?

[Jackolantern]

Spawnfestis, please keep it civil. The poster has said he/she is not the owner of this team. Perhaps he wasn't the best candidate to write up the ad (maybe the friend could have supplied more of the info we typically look for), but I don't see any reason to tell him the project won't get started. Plenty of teams out there are working without co-ownership or percentage of profit (which requires so much more legal mumbo-jumbo to be legit than could ever be put on a forum anyway).

Were doing the models so far so no screen shots, and as of a website im currently also making one, We want to get the game fairly much done before before we get into much of the website though, also "Jmonkey?"


And jackolantern what kind of information do you guys look for? i tried looking at the other posts but they all seemed the same more or less
