Fantasy turn based strategy game needs programmers!

WHO WE ARE: We are a small group of friends looking to create a game and perhaps even a small LLC. TEAM NAME: We call ourselves the Hack & Slash group. PROJECT NAME: Destiny of the Sword (aka "DotS"). BRIEF DESCRIPTION: We are a small group of friends (3 of us currently working on the project) trying to find the people and resources to produce a fantasy, tactical, turn based game like Final Fantasy Tactics. This first game (hopefully) in a series of games. Once we get a talented person or persons we would like to finish the project in 12-18 months. The game will have single player and multi-player components. Currently we plan to use 2D sprites from Battle of Wesnoth as stand-in graphics until we can get 3D models. We will use freely available assets at first. We will replace the borrowed assets with original assests over time. We already have a clear goal on things like units, powers, skills, and design -- we just need someone (or someones) to help us realize the goal! We have been working on the design for quite a long time and the design documents are more or less finalized but have had poor luck trying to find someone to help us create the code. TARGET AIM: The first game (this game) will be freeware. Sequels may possibly be retail. COMPENSATION: This is a free project from an indie designer. No compensation will be available unless we secure grant money. Future projects (if this one is successful) may be retail. TECHNOLOGY: Undecided, and depends on who we get to help us. Possibilities we've considered: + OGRE3D, Java Monkey Engine, Unity, python (such as GalaxyMage) + We need the game engine, map editor, army builder applications TALENT NEEDED: A game programmer and back up A 2D artist for game assets A sound engineer for sound effects and music TEAM STRUCTURE: Project lead and lead designer: Floyd (myself), Anchorage AK Project server host: Aaron, Portland OR We interact through email, skype, and instant messenger. WEBSITE: http://anet.dnsalias.org/hns/ CONTACT: Email me at greentiger@gci.net This address is heavily spam filtered so please put GAMEDEV in the subject somewhere PREVIOUS WORK: This is our first project (none). FEEDBACK: Encouraging only. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (EDIT): As far as what separates the game from others: the focus of the game is primarily multi-player--the game is not meant for quickie games. It will have a single player mode but the focus is on multi-player (with armies being built using a point-buy system similar to table top war games). I would like the game to taken into the area of serious competition and so we will be working hard on making the battle system interesting. The system has a rock-paper-scissors system where certain classes are able to more effectively damage other classes. Another goal is we want to include the map editor for the game so that players can create battle maps. The game has a thorough design document.

Is this an actual RPG or just a TBS battle thing? YOu keep mentioning RPG.

The project started as a SRPG but it is changing focus to a TBS game.
The SP, when made, will have RPG elements to it but right now the focus is MP.
Is your PHP engine made already or have you started on it?
