Hello! My name is Nick Soutter, I am the owner of a small game company in San Diego, CA called Aepox Games (www.aepoxgames.net). Our first product, Andromeda Online (www.andromedaonline.net), goes commercial in a few months. We are in pre-production of our second project, codenamed "Avalon". It is a MMORPG. We have started a working relationship with a hosting company which can host our game, to our specifications, with up to 1 millions simultaneous players online with no lag (butterfly.net, partnered with IBM, using an ingenious method of data management to offer stability, reliability, and ultra fast reaction time with no lag). Because we are a small company, cost is an extremely limiting factor. We don 't have a lot of funds to throw at this, though we hope the success of Andromeda Online will help. Our arrangement with butterfly.net will allow us to pay on demand- as we gain more subscribers, we pay them proportionately, drastically reducing our upfront costs. There are two areas we are now lacking: 1: We need python scripters. Much of the programming used for the servers must necessarily be in python. The bulk of our code will be in Python, and we have no access to Python programmers at the moment. 2: We need people capable of programming vast worlds in the CrystalSpace 3d engine. While we do have excellent graphic artists on hand, we have no-one capable of developing the lands and cities in this game. We have chosen CrystalSpace because of our financial concerns. We are looking for Python programmers, and CrystalSpace developers. We are hopefully going to be able to pay a decent wage, but probably not a fully commensurate salary. Our company is strapped for cash. In addition to pay, however, we have a lot to offer. We are offering the potential for a long term job (if Avalon does well, we'll need continued support for years to come). We are offering the chance to get in on the ground floor of a budding game company. We also believe fully in giving credit to those who work for us. For you budding programmers, this is the chance for a big project, where you are needed, appreciated, and your work will be public and commercial. We are in pre-development. We have not begun production. Production is not slated to begin for another 6 months. We would like people in the San Diego area, it makes things mildly easier. HOWEVER, it is not a requirement. Andromeda was done with most of us never physically meeting the programmer. We have strong internet management and development resources. At present, we are simply trying to get some names, get a feel for who might be interested, the kind of experience they may have, and what our resources may be before we begin. Anybody interested, please send me an email, with your resume, at nsoutter@aepoxgames.com. Please only send us your resume if you are interested. Sending us your resume is not a promise you will take the project, nor is accepting your resume a promise of getting a job. We are simply trying to see who is interested, and what they can do. Thank you for your time, and I hope you consider us. Nick Soutter Aepox Games
