"Alright, who wants to help make a game?"

Swordspines Entertainment, Grix's Company, are branching out into GBA software, and are currently trying to recruit potential young talent for work on new titles.

We're looking for people who possess any of the following skills:

1) Programming
Any language, but you may need to learn new ones - especially if you don't happen to know C++ already ;)

2) Graphical design
Must be good with 2D graphics, and/or animation

3) Sound Artists
Able to make nice tunes and sound effects. Obviously.

4) Designers.
Level designers/game designers. Must be creative, and know what makes a good game. Applicants for this post will be vetted by Grix (hehe).

5) Testers.
Must be able to play games. Need two hands, and/or telekenisis. Must be able to give good feedback.

6) Miscellaneous
If you think you've got skills which might be helpful, and they're not listed above, just let us know what you can do.

Chuck your name in here if you're interested in this:

Or reply to this topic, of course...

Yeah, I know. The point was, when it comes to testing, whether you have GBA is irrelevant unless you have one of these adaptors allowing you to download the ROM to your GBA.

I'll go to viewandplay.co.uk.

How about a Swordspines message board?

Well, I went into viewandplay.co.uk, the I went into the Games Development. There are only 2 threads there, and they are both polls. So I came back here.

All I have to offer is my imagination

Ok, as Strafex said, it's going to be difficult to keep this topic afloat in the circumstances at the moment, so from now on, all posts concerning this must be at:

www.viewandplay.co.uk, on the forums. It's the Games Development, you can't miss it.

Makes life easier that way.

Final list of people to be published today.

I have this, if anyone wants to borrow it. Let me know.

To Strafex and those thinking of programming:

The C++ book I'm using myself is 'Teach yourself C++ in 21 days, third edition', published by SAMS.

It's quite good as it features a lot on pointers, references, memory and suchlike, which are all very important for programming games.

I could do anything really, although I'd love to learn how to program :D. I can speak french pretty well so I could be used to translate the game... Although I really, really want to learn how to program in any language, java, visual basic, c++ andything!
