Team name: Transhuman Design
Project name: Dungeon Guild
Brief description: Transhuman Design (http://www.transhumandesign.com) is a collective of enthusiastic independent game designers who create games purely out of passion. We are interested in working with talented individuals who are fanatical about their love for making computer games. Notable members of our team are Michal Marcinkowski, creator of the game Soldat, and Hamish McLeod of Fallen Angel Industries fame.
Dungeon Guild is an unconventional take on dungeon crawler / RPG type games that has a heavier emphasis on realism and less emphasis on fantastic elements and unrealistically powered characters. Dungeon Guild borrows many features from the roguelike genre, but will feature a fully graphical interface rather than text.
In game, the players creates and customizes a character and joins the "Dungeon Guild", a fraternity of dungeoneers who seak out treasure, power and adventure in many locations around the land (actually, it's kind of like a medieval / fantasy travel agency). Players can set up businesses, join or start teams of adventurers, gain skills in craftsmanship and adventuring and many other generic fantasy game type things.
Target aim:
Dungeon Guild will be entirely free to play, but will include some minor additional features that are unlockable via registration. Registration is slated to be a one off $10. Registration features are reserved for hardcore, serious players.
Compensation:
All profits made from this game will go directly to the programmer (you). We are simply interested in making fantastic games, not profit.
Soldat (http://www.soldat.pl), created by one of our members and a co-designer of this game, follows this business model and he has made enough money to live off by that game alone. We know how to make money!
Although it might seem like we are just looking for someone to do our dirty work, the ideal candidate for this position will be someone who is serious about game design and wants to shape and create the game world. Although you will be tasked with creating the mechanical elements of the game, we will be encourage you to come up with your own gameplay ideas and content, if you so desire. Effectively, this is a dual game designer / programmer position.
Technology:
Currently only planned for the PC, but programmers with experience in programming for multiple platforms are a bonus.
Talent needed:
* One passionate programmer
Team structure:
* Sigvatr, 2d artist - Will be making all in game graphics.
* Synsynth, sound designer - Will be making all in game sounds and music.
