MILOS'S PROFILE

author=KingArthur
Really, all I have to say is this: F*ck you, Intel.

You sir, deserve a medal. If this shit happens, I can also say goodbye to any work on my hardware. It's just a marketing trick, now, you can't fix your own motherboards, you have to buy new ones or have some extra work done on it...

Women already do help the industry. No one is telling women not to do so. And frankly, it is rather sexist to say they can help "because of emotions 'n shit."

Do you know how hard it is for anyone to get in the game industry? Man or woman? And even if you do get in, do you know how hard it is for anyone to care what you think about game design? It's not just a "you have good ideas, here's a job" world. You start from nothing, scratch and claw for every opportunity, leverage every contact, and keep doing so until something clicks. In order to have direct input on actual game design, you have to build up quite a reputation with whatever institution pays your salary. Penis or vagina under the belt does not matter.

I'm guessing my attempt at irony failed. I just so happen to know how hard it is to work when you're constantly criticized or otherwise. I just tried to encourage female developers to simply ignore insults, and move on with their ideas. Sorry if I gave some different ideas.

The Studio
The Watcher Studios are a burgeoning team, trying to make it out there in the RPG scene. Our major task is to make games with enormous worlds, numerous quests, and an excellent storyline, next to the innovative combat and crafting systems.

The Team
The team currently consists of five members :
-Two artists (One modeler, one concept artist)
-One sound technician
-One advisor (My dear friend Avee, here from RMN)
-Lead, me (The creator of the game world, the general brainstormer, and also a hobbyist artist and music maker)

The Wanted List
Currently, the people we most need are programmers. Potential members (Programmers) should have at least some knowledge and experience with C#, which for now will be the game language.

Other people are also welcome with any of the before mentioned skills (Artists and Music makers), and also people with skill in Unity 3D.

History

The team formed somewhere around the end of September, 2012. Our original plan was to release one more game in RPG Maker VX, however, we scratched that idea, and moved to Unity 3D shortly after.

Our team is currently based in Belgrade, Serbia (With three members being here), however, our sound tech is from the Netherlands, and Avee is from Canada.

We are deeply inspired by works of high fantasy : The TES series, The Lord of The Rings, The Fable series, as well as some works of Serbian high fantasy. We are also inspired by the various mythologies spread throughout the world.

The Story

The game tells the story of Wair Crowcaller, a adventurer, and his band who suddenly betray him. The game's main quest unveils the reason of the band's betrayal, and those who poised them against Wair. The game will also have numerous side-quest, related or un-related to the main story.

(Those who are interested will be thoroughly informed of the complete story)

The Game
The current game we are making is dubbed (for now):
Twisting Sands : A Tale of Betrayal

The game was intended to follow up to the Torin' Chronicles saga (My past two games), but this is still disputed. The game may draw some historical facts from the past games.

Features
It is a bit hard to estimate all the features that will be taken out or added in now, but the current plan is the following :

-A wide and beautiful world, numerous feats of architecture in the cities, as well as a beautiful landscape, ranging from the green forests of the south, the bone-dry desert of Aslan-run, the jungles of the Geldar delta, and the chilling peaks of the White Peaks in the north.

-8 original classes, all with special skills depending on which alignment the player chooses.

-Original combat skills, ranging from athletic dodges and slashes of the Assassin, brutal pummeling strength of the Barbarian, or the mind-crushing wisdom of the Wizard.

-A great crafting system, with innovative mini-games, which will determine the strength and potency of your finished products.

-Travel around the Eastern Lands may vary on your class. Horses are readily available to all, but is your character a agile type? Climb around various environments! Or is he a Warrior? Push around some rocks! Wizard? Move them with your mind!

As I have mentioned before, the greatest impact on your game experience will be your class.

-Realistic behavior. Your character will have to eat, drink and sleep, just like you. Take care of yourself, or suffer the consequences.

(more will be added as the game progresses)

Payment
The game will be released commercially somewhere around the Q4 2013, as it is planned now.

All of the teams' members will get their own cut if the game sells. That is the only form of payment I can offer.


So, if anyone is interested, post here or contact me privately via message.

People, I didn't mean I'm some sort of hill-billy who wants to hijack a plane and hit some building. I was just saying that the US has more blood on their hands than some of you might think (Albeit, at a wrong time it seems) - and I don't believe in karma. I just used the term to express that what goes around, comes around. As I said, I'm sorry for the good people that may or may have not been injured or worse, killed. I'm also not trying to rationalize a crappy childhood, I just used a example I knew well. Sorry if you guys got so offended.

PS. Kentona, out of this story, that might not be a common "crappy childhood". Ever dodged bullets and bombs while you were little?

UPRC : Point taken. I shall stop on this matter immediately.

Hm... it appears that the US is getting a taste of its own medicine. Finally!
