Getting in the Gaming industry...

So, do you have a publisher lined up?
Do you have an office/headquarters?
Are these positions paid?

From what you''re saying, this BETTER be a paid position. Otherwise you''re being VERY misleading and will get severely flamed (and will deserve it).

Why is it not possible to access your homepage (below) to see your work?

Are these paying positions? Where is your office?

"an engine with loads of talent" nice, I like engines that have talent!!!
Wow, a job eh, so whats the salary like? Id sure love a job at Reverie Entertaintment (formerly Reverie Studios, right?)

I will attempt to answer all your questions.

Currently, the new website is not up yet. It will be probably today or tomorrow.

There is about 7 members on the team. Talented guys.

We are based currently internationally. Do not let this lead yout to think that we are a group of guys from all over the planet that got together to make a game for the fun of it. All fo us are looking to get in the gaming industry and figured what better way than to start your own business. The game has lots of talent. It is 2D but features everything that a 3D engine can do except rotate in the 360* view. Other than that, everything.

Right now, people are not "payed" to be on the team. You are forced to look at us as an investment. Which is what we are all doing. You may be thinking: "Why should we invest our time and efforts into a group if we don''t even know if we will get reimbursed in the long run." This is a good question and one that can only be answered by the team itself. Once you are on and see the talent that we have, there is no doubt in our minds that this game is going to published. No doubt in any of our minds. So, just like every investment. There is the risk that you must think about. The risk being it may not be published. However, as I said before, once you see the engine playing and look at the graphic designers work, there will be no doubt. So, the choice will be yours, make the investment, or choose not to, and upon the games publication, (NOTE: Notice the sure way I say "upon the games publication") the loss will be yours. I do not find this misleading, I would find this misleading if I had mentioned in my original post that the "pay is good". I asked if you were interested in gettign in the industry. Which is what we WILL be doing.

We have talked with a publisher, nothing serious yet, just discussing what they would be doing, what we would have to do etc. Simple stuff.

@Phyrexian Mercenary: Sorry, we are looking for talented guys!
j/k (I know him)

Hope this answers your questions, and should give you all information to think about. As I said before, we are an investment that you will haev to decide about! Thanks!

Then the first line of your original post should have been
"Interested in investing in the gaming industry?"
not
"Interested in getting a job in the gaming industry?"

By this, I can tell you arent very realistic. Highly confident? I can buy that (though I might not agree). But "no doubt"? If you are realistic, you have to have at least a little doubt. I mean, come on. There are games out there (or should I say not out there) that are being made by experienced studios with best-sellers under their belt that are being cancelled and not published.

Personally, I just hate when people speak so highly of their own work just to try to get people to join. Will you make it? You might, but for every group/company that makes your claim and succeeds, there''s probably 50,000 that say the same thing but crash and burn without making a penny.

What the lord says... there are lots that say, this game is going to be published, but the gaming industry is far harsh than that, no matter how much talent you have got on board, you have no money to start with.

Money is not an object. At leaste right now. People have already offered to cover costs for registering, trademarks, copyrights etc. As of right now, money does not need to be invested. Once the game is complete yes, but until then no. Right now what we are investing is time and effort. Thus far, thats it. By the way Phy, how is your company coming along?

@Lord: I can see where you are coming form. I am not trying to be proud or unrealistic. This game is far superior in capabilities than any other small company I have seen. I am just telling you what people who have played the engine have said. That was not an attempt to make it sound better or be unrealistic. Obviosuly there is a chance that we won''t be published. But due to the game quality, we do believe it will happen.


Any more questions?

Great. How about I make my time and work investment in MY game and when YOUR game FAILS and mine SUCCEEDS the loss will be YOURS.

If you''re so sure your game will be published why the hell are you asking for help here? Why don''t you already have a contract? Either way, with your overly obvious arrogance, I don''t know how you''re going to get anyone to help you.

Sorry Supernova. I guess you had a hard day. (Notices taht not one of Supernovas posts have asked questions but made accusations) We are asking for help because we need more people to speed up the game process. Why most companies do such. If you choose not to join, thats fine. But why should you get mad and post about it in here? If you found my statement to be proud and flaming, then sorry if my "overly obvious arrogance" offened anyone. None was intended. I was answering questions. I am not quite sure why you are getting heated over.

Should you choose to spend your time making your game, that is fine. But this post is centered on offering people a place on the team at Reverie.

Tribal, I dont own any company.

I believe that if any one want to make good game, you should shut up and get back to work!

I work hard on what I''m good are so should yous!

So get back to work if you got a team all ready tribal_warrior!

sheng

@Phy: Your run one.

We post here to spped up the process. More designers etc. would be useful. Understand?

_tribal_

Tribal, you are sadly mistaken, I do not run any company, for you see, a company is something like ES and Microsoft, who make money, we are just a team not a major company like your Reverie Entertaintment(?), who offer people here a job, though wheather it is paid or not, is in question.

Not "payed" Phy. Remember? Should the game be published, those who invested their time and energy into it will be repayed.


We are looking for people with a talent in Graphic Art ecspecially. 3D work. We have 3 guys but it is too much stress on them to be doing all the units, animations and buildings. So, if you are talentedin 3D design and looking for a chance to invest. Let me know!

Thanks for everyone who has already written in!

"Invest" erm, I think that is the wrong term to use.
"Thanks for everyone who has already written in" if a there were a lot of people who wrote in, why would you require more? Alas, why did you then turn down the offer from SCN Punk and WFS, they had lots of designers.

"Invest" is the perfect term, unless you can think of better. As you are invetsing time and effort into the game.

About people who have written in, sound and music guys have, designers havn''t yet. And we need 3D designers. Thanks guys!

About the WFS merge.The merge offers have been brought up again and lots of ideas are being thrown around. Can''t say yet how they are going but- they are. The original idea was trashed however.

For starters, looks like youll have to run a huge spell-check for that phantasy novel of yours, secondly, a substitute for "invest" would be "work". Anyways, how come your promised new website, with loads of news, buckets of content, gallons of screenshots never appeared?

If you are doing the website, maybe you could offer someone else the "job", who could perhaps "invest" their time and effort, so you don''t need to.

So, whos the potential publishers, or do you people possibly plan to publish the prized game made previously by Reverie Studios, now produced by Reverie Entertaintment? Whoo, ran out of "p"s
