Good day to all fellow forum members.

I had quite a long break from the Open Tibia scene, I was involved in a number of different projects, I cooperated in a few productions that allowed me to acquire fundings to open my own business. It's not enough to build a new game from a scratch, but yet it's more than enough to start a completely new project based on Open Source Tibia engine and a lot of free graphics. That's the reason why I am placing job advert right here, because you guys are probably the best for the role!

Recruitment is now opened for a number of roles involved in making a new computer game. Right in the very beginning I want to highlight. This is not a voluntary process, this is a genuine job offer, full time job that you will be paid from on a monthly basis.

It will not be a yet another Open Tibia Server. I am about to use my knowledge and experience in a computer game design as well as connections to bring my well-developed idea into life that I was polishing for years. In fact, game will not be an Ots, it will be a standalone game that only uses Tibia graphics and a number of changes involved is a deciding point that game will definitely not be advertised as a Open Tibia server but a standalone game.

Therefore I am looking for:
  • Programmers, people who can do whatever they want in an engine, very good knowledge of C++ is a must, and LUA and/or XML experience will be very beneficial.
  • Mappers, people who can make magic with few bits there and there. People who always show their 100% and turn this world into something awesome.
  • Lua/Xml/Php/Html writers. In fact, I will need a lot of experienced scripters. There are tons of scripts to do.
  • Spriters, need someone bloody good as there will be a lot of new sprites to do. I am not planning on redoing whole game, however, a number of changes is massive, you won't be bored.
For the project itself I will also need someone very good at developing OtClient. If you have the ability to do anything I want you! If you're a programmer at the same time, even better.

Please make note that there are age restrictions related to the funding, I am not allowed to legally employ and underage applicants. You must be at the age of 18 or over and be registered tax payer in your country.

Initially jobs were advertised for Polish community only and despite of a massive response I decided to take things a little bit further and see what international community and skilled fellow forum members have to offer. You will still be required to work in certain hours in order to provide a project with your 100%, regardless of your geographical location.

Now it's time for the details that interest everyone at most, ie what I have to offer, so there we go:
  • salary based on position and experience from 970€ to 1330€ (or 1060$ to 1460$) per month
  • work in young and dynamic team
  • work in a company with goals and ambitions
  • great development opportunities
  • full time work contract
  • no stress involved
  • opportunity to work in a team with all the same interest

At this minute I do not require any CVs of any kind. All I need is name, age, location, post you're applying for, contact details and as much examples of work you did in the past as it's only possible because everyone will have to go through basic chat with me so I can see if you're right fit for the role.

I shall add a little bit more info about myself as for most of people I am completely unknown. I am 27 year old, finished business management and MBA. In the OTs scene I am not very well known, however, I was always creative, had my own individual ideas and great solutions to entertain players. Few years back I started the first Open Tibia server in the future which was hitting over 500 players logged in and was successfully sold.

I am a good employer because I have a good knowledge how challenging and demanding any of above roles are, I do understand a lot, I am hard but I am fair. I treat people with respect, I am ambitious and a fact that I am coming back after years with funding to start a new game is the best example of it.

So if you want to develop new games in the area you know very well, you want to do what you love to do and you're even going to get pet? Apply directly on here or by sending me an email on [email protected].

Good luck.

I wish you a goodluck on your game! If its ever gonna be a alpha or a beta test! I am sure i am gonna try it out!
 
Good luck man, What you're wanting to do is a massive under taking and expensive. I hope you're ready for it.
 
That sounds great! Looks very promising.
So just a question, since this would be a new game will it be based on tibia-style of gameplay? Will it be based on the older versions of tibia or the newer versions?

I know this just the beginning, but a lot of tibians are eager for a new tibialike game, and are willing to do a good brainstorm on it. It would be nice if you created another topic, where people here would put their ideas of what is good/bad on Tibia (both old and actual version) and what they want to see if a new tibialike game was to be released.
#edit -- this would even encourage more people to sign up for the project

I have actually been thinking quite a lot about this project. I might apply
But look, I agree with you that you don't have to create/modify sprites when looking at the laws.
However, you want this to be a new project, a new game and not an OTS. So, when people first log in, they are going to think that this is just a Tibia OTS, not a new game and this won't encourage people to keep playing... because they have already seen EVERYTHING, it is nothing new (graphics wise). When people hear that there is a new tibialike game (not an OTS) they are expecting to have different graphics, you see? If there aren't, they won't feel too anxious to play it and you will end up losing a lot of players on the way because of that.
If you don't modify the sprites, people will always consider your game as just an OTS. Unfortunitely.

I have to agree with Sematico.

The fun thing is, there are plenty of games that have very minimal sprites that are amazing. Even having One Tree, One Bush, Grass/Dirt/Sand/Cobblestone, and then a few walls, mountains, and water and you basically have a new sprite pack to start with.
