Project Name:
3000: The Resistance

Description:
The basic concept of the game "3000: The Resistance" is a sidescroller game set in the future, in a time where aliens run riot controlling most of planet earth, The only hope is The Resistance, a trained combat unit based underground eventually rising up to take earth back for the people in a challinging manor putting the gamers skills to the test in an exciting combat system fighting through the levels, battling against the elements and the backlash of the eniemy!
We are open to changes on the story


Very early mock up, The leach you see there is only a minor eniemy, We currently have completed the character and are going to edit for customisation at a later stage after level designing and bad guys.

Project Goal:
The aim for this project is to have a good, challenging and complete side scroller for the BYOND community to enjoy.


Skills Needed:
- Firstly the programmer must have enough time to set aside for the project(it is a pretty small project and as long as you put in the effort whenever you have the time, we shall get along just fine)
- Enough knowledge in the DM langauge to get pretty advanced systems into the game(e.g. sidescrolling movement.. duh lol).
Im an artist so i am not very good with this programming talk. heh.

Compensation:
I can't offer nothing in terms of conpensation but this is a chance to grow as a developer and work with a capable team to provide a great game to the community ;)

Team Members:
This project is a vision of mine and my friend Xyberman, We are more then able to complete all art and sounds for the project to a high standard, I personally believe we are hard working and easy to get along with, for brief history please search the Pixel Art Society.

Previous Work:
I personally have been rather active around the BYOND community with only one published project to my name at this moment in time and a number of contributions to games. If you wish to see more then the links below, id be happy to on request. XY, the other guy working on the project is a very skilled pixel artist looking to build on his portfolio.

Sounds and looks really neat. Good luck.

Are you going to be using pixel movement for the player? Seems like it'd fit well with this type of game.

Thank you, I did a lot of planning to revolve around pixel movement yes but if it cannot happen, i have ideas ready to go in also for regular BYOND tile movement. Now it all really depends on the responses i get from the Ad hehe.

Pixel movement will work fine as long as it's going to be single player game.

Recent updates allow pixel movement to be practical in small multiplayer games as well, now.

Am I not too late to join this? I am taking a few days off, and am looking for something to do to test the things I am learning. This looks very interesting; I have always wanted to do a side scroller.
