Announcing: P R O J E C T S T O R M Project Storm is a video game that I started writing on my own. Now that a very large part of the game has been coded and designed, I find that I could use a some help. This program will be a freeware program available with sources to anyone who wants it. It runs on Macintosh computers with 8 bit graphics cards (68020 or 68030 is required). I am looking for the following volunteers: - Title animation programmer The program is written in Think C and uses a custom-written vector animation package. Synchronizing sound and animation and even doing color animation is extremely easy. Artistic talent and good C language skills are required. This part of the program comprises all the title, help and high score screens. QuickDraw can be used, but is not recommended. - Game testers You need a Macintosh II[x/cx/ci/fx] with an 8 bit video card. Familiarity with a certain 3D vector game with a rotating knob controller helps. If you own one of these old games, you are immediately accepted as a Quality Assurance Technician... :-) If you don't know what I'm talking about, forget you ever saw this posting and wait until you see the finished product. - Sound technician You need access to a sound sampler. I have a sound sampler, but I don't have the time to do all the necessary editing. Some of the work has been done. The sounds should have a high-tech feel, but playtesters will make the final choices. The game allows two simultaneous 11 kHz sampled sound channels. Stereo might be available later (allowing 2 x 2 channels). A maximum of 10 people will be chosen, but a few more might receive a demo of what has been done so far. I will act as coordinator and main programmer, but most decisions will eventually made by vote. Estimated completion date is sometime next January, if we can get started in September or October. Please mail your applications and post only if absolutely necessary. ___________________________________________________________________________ / Juri Munkki / Helsinki University of Technology / Wind / HP S / / jmunkki@hut.fi / Computing Center Macintosh Support / Surf / 48 X / ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
