Team name:
Undecided / The Elium Team

Project name:
Elium

Brief description:
Elium is a non-linear Single-Player 3D Action RPG set in a rich, real and dynamic world in a medieval-fantasy setting. Fights play out in real-time including melee combos, special moves and magic.
The development of this game is on hold as we lack programmers, and so development won't continue unless we can get someone to help.

Target aim:
Freeware/Shareware/Retail
Time will tell, if the game is good enough we could try to make it Shareware, if not we just give it for free. Retail is a very small possibility.

Compensation:
This is a hobby project and therefore there is no paying involved. However we do understand that as such, the amount of time invested obviously can't be as if it was a paid job.
Due credit will be given for the work done as well as the experience you will get. If the game ever makes any profits they will be shared.


Technology:
Nebula 2 Engine (http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/www.nebuladevice.org) (Cpp and Direct3D)

Talent needed:
Programmer
We need a programmer to take the lead tasks, serious and dedicated, experienced in Cpp for tasks including graphics, gameplay, characters, NPC's, items, AI, etc.
Experience with Nebula2 is a plus but not required (learning it will be required).

Samples of previous work will be needed.

Team structure:
Chosker (me) - Art
Yes the team is only me :) I like small teams and my programmer (who made all the programming work there is) got a job in the industry and so had to leave the project.
