This can be view as either a request or an offer. I am a writer, not published of course (none of the good ones are) but still a scribbling scribe. An idea has came into my mind lately of a plot; of which I will not go into detail here. But what came of this plot (so far) is a modification in-progress for the turn-based tank game Scorched3d. I am in the process of making this modification; but it has been suggested by others that I seek out a different engine for this task. I have looked around at engines here and there, cube for example. But it still did not seem to lend itself for the direction in which I am aiming.

So in my searching I came here, and as such decided to make a request. I am lacking in knowledge of coding, all I know is some very basic Xml. My modeling and art skills are still fledgling, but slowly growing. The main thing that I have is the plot and focus of the work itself. I have general ideas of the concrete things that would concern the game, HUD, Atmosphere, Structure.

So what I am requesting/offering is thus: the physical side of things to the foci of the game. This game could be looked upon in many ways. A chance to get game creation under your belt and into your resume, a chance for me to spread some of my writing. A chance to gain more practice, a chance for me to learn in the first.

I suggest picking up an easy to learn c book, and get started into your
programming, its the only serious way to get into making games.

I will start looking around today. Before I seemed to be looking for the tools without looking for the skills. While I am still in the process of learning, I am still willing to offer the plot that I have to any who is in a situation inverse to mine, send me a pm if you are interested.

I feel that I should clarify the fact that I am willing to write and develop plot materials for game projects; Cypher is going to be on the back burner for a while.

Is there any examples of your work available to have a look at?

[Sloan]

I have materials from my Cypher project and some of my other writings that I can give as examples to those interested. Send me a PM or inquire about email (via pm) if you have interest.
