C64 Coders needed for RPG

Greetings Programmers!

We have been working on a game similar to Wasteland, Bard's Tale III, and Dragon Wars for a year now. We have been developing the story, scenarios, location maps etc and were about to begin programming when our lead programmer became ill and incapacitated.

We need a couple of people who can program assembly code for:
1) engine
2) creation tools: map, item, monster editors
3) Graphic artists

Feel free to email us here: 8bwinfo at gmail dot com

Thank you in advance!

In other words, you are asking for programming to be done from scratch for this project. Any volunteers :-)

We actually now have the engine. We just need tools to edit maps, monsters, and items.

We were thinking a royalty per unit sold. It will be ported to Pc and others.

You should take a look at CharPad and SpridePad. You can do all your level designing and sprite designing there. It's quite cool.

Nice to hear you already have an engine and I wish you luck. Anything else, feel free to post again with some more details on what exactly you need (if anything).

royalty per unit? depends what percentage you are offering. I wouldn't accept anything less than 50% per unit ;)

I guess most of us know that even "commercially" distributed C64 games are more or less pro bono nowadays. Ask the coders of the really great releases of the last years like MrSID (Prince of Persia) or Endurion (Soulless) (<-- to name just two which came to my mind) if they made a fortune...

My guess would be a C64 game bundled and incorporated with an emulator to be released for Android and IOS. To get the idea, check out the Bard's Tale trilogy which is included in the Android installation of "the new" Bard's Tale.

TheRyk: MrSid surely made no fortune since he didnt sell a single copy of his game :)
