2d (with 3d models) Isometric MMORPG, based in 15th century Japan:




Eyes Out Entertainment is seeking the following, to replace our former programmer:



~System programmer - implent leveling (Unique system which we will discuss when the time comes), trade skills (VERY unique - once again, when the time comes), fighting system (Similiar to a console fighter - Kick, kick, punch punch, etc.), etc.

~Graphics programmer - General graphical stuff: Camera, rendering, etc.

-Network programmer - improve our current network engine, possibly implent better packet handling (Both server and client side)



Pay:
There WILL be pay: We currently have several investors (Not publishers) looking into our game, if we can get this game up and running into a near-gold status, they may provide everything we need (Salary, office space, servers, etc.)

If we don't, or they turn us down - profit will be split out to each working employee.



Heres a basic run down on what our current engine is capable of:

***************
The engine is written in C++, it uses classes, templates,
the standard library class (map, vector, string, fstream).
Knowledge in these areas is a requirement.

The engine incorporates the following technologies, some knowledge
in many of the these are definately needed, while others can be
learned while working:
OpenGL
OpenAL
Ogg Vorbis
PNG (using glPNG)
XML (using libXML)
cal3D
DirectInput
Winsock

============

Resources are stored in XML files and are managed through
either a ResourceList or ResourceMap. Every resource type
has a unique type based ID, and can be accessed by it's ID
or it's index.

============



********************

Heres a list of what still needs to be done (Incomplete but gives a basic idea):


- Incorporate configuration file, which stores info such as
Window width, height, bpp, and key mapping.

- Make changes in camera system

- Add Ogg Vorbis support

- Add multi-purpose (fire, rain, etc) particle system

- Add animation to materials

- Add Freetype font support to engine

- Create encrypted filetype to store resources in

- Add CRC32 checking for resource files

- Align OpenGL coordinates with OpenAL in the CScene class

- Possibly change the rendering of map tiles to Vertex/Texture
array to increase performance

- Add frustum culling to the rendering

- Add texturing to Cal3D models, possibly using Materials from
the engine

- Work further with the net programmer with the netcode integration

- General Optimizations

- Work with net programmer and the rest of the team for creation of
an alchemy system, trade system, inventory system, quest system, etc.

- Add Game GUI, that is customizable through an XML file.

More information:
Here are some (dated) screens from the engine: http://www.eyesoute....allery.php?id=2 - its been improved a bit since then, and we have obviously changed to support 3d models rather than 2d.
