"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...

Possibly testing, and if you need any help with writing the plot, storyline or ideas for designing the levels, then I'm your man...or boy.

VB. I have not had ANY experience in testing games, but, I reckon I can still help a tad?!

Let me know.
Thanks.

throw me in! seems fun!

Well free time is usually spent hungover/drinking/doing uni work or messing about on the computer or with games and of course with the girlfriend

I'll gladly help in any way I can but I am not sure how much help I can be. Good luck with it anyway.

Lol. Stopped ages ago! :-D

I'm planning on going into programming and I know a fair bit of Visual Basic, so this would be a good way of learning C++.

Venombyte, do you have a C++ to GBA machine code compiler? :-D

You're doing computer science and you don;t have much free time?

You must have chosen the wrong Uni ;)

Seriously though, you'll need a fair amount of spare time. We're gonna write a GBA game, basically.

I intend to do a GBA game by myself for my third year project next year, so as well as being fun, this'll hopefully prepare me well for that, too. That's my secret ulterior motive ;)

can the punches be transferred to another individual?

I am at Strathclyde uni in glasgow

Team? What exactly does it involve as I don't get a lot of free time, so what is it you do?

Trust me to play a game thoroughly.

Excellent, that's what I'm doing at the moment, too. What year are you in?

Would you like to join the team?
