FVG: Group sign up.
 

Ok, as far as I can see we (will) need people in the following groups:

• Coding: Programmers
• 3D: People who can use 3DSMax (this includes static models and short animation action clips)
• 2D: Textures, logos, etc.
• Audio: people who can get/make afx (the official field sounds, announcers, general fx, etc.)
• Website: When we get a website going (wether it be on sourceforge or not), we need people to set it up/maintain it.
• Docs: people who can write documentation.
• PR: people to talk to companies for what ever reason (getting an engine, sponsoring, lending resoureces, obaining files/data, etc) and write anouncements.

Quite a bit of this is long-term/future.

If you would like to volunteer in any of these groups, post your name, what group, and any way you'd like us to contact you (with any necesary ID info).

I can help a considerable amount with that stuff. If someone is willing to give me a start, I can help in programming and designing too, although I don't have too much real time experience in that stuff. Let me know if anyone is willing, I am a fast learner on "how to" use applications.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

I can find things online like files and stuff i can also help out around here on Chief Delphi. I really don't know that much about the other stuff.
i can be reached at kodlilb@yahoo.com

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

I'd like to do as much as i can while learning new stuff! put me on anyhting

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

My skills include:

• 3ds max & Maya
• Photoshop
• Vegas
• PHP and MySQL

I guess that puts me in 3D, 2D, and Website, and I'm willing to write documentation and do public relations. I'd also like to observe the coding aspect and its progress being that I would like to get good at application programming, although as of now it isn't my area of expertise. :D

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

I can help in the areas of Website Design and Paperwork/Promotion/Structure/Organization.

The extent of my knowledge includes:

• A very extensive knowledge of HTML, XHTML, JavaScript, and Photoshop 7.0 Image Design
• A fairly advanced knowledge of Macromedia Flash MX and the creation of Flash Websites and Shockwave Games
• A beginner's knowledge (just began learning) of PHP and MySQL

I am an organized person and an advanced writer. If I can help in any way, just let me know.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

Thank you all for your support! I am hopping to be able to put this up on Sourceforge and keep it open source (though the engine choice may prevent this). As for an internal name, is FIRST Video Game ok? (this name is not what it is published as, just for signing up on SourceForge)

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

We may just be able to do this... :)

Great job with the volunteering!

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

Well I'm not a programmer or CAD guy but I can do just about anything else that may be needed.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

As for me I could do some seriously good documenting and some program editing, debugging, if not a bit of writing. The problem: I've got vacation next week until the following Sunday (6/27) and IRI to attend. But, I definitely want to be involved in this project.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

Are you taking reserved spots for Alpha or Beta testing yet??? :D

I'm no programmer, but I know what I like and don't like in video games and play a lot..
*(note: my newest system is a PS1 and oldest is a Colecovision with the exclusive add-on module to allow you to play Atari games too.:D )

Oh, and I have computer gaming knowledge too.. to some extent. ;)

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

^^^^ i like what Elgin said, I'm here for alpha/beta testing also... and since Elgin listed his resume, why not- i own, and i mean pwn SNES, N64, gameboy, gameboy slim, gameboy color, gameboy advance, and PS2... and yes, I am also a rather experienced PC player, so if yall need any bugs testing just send me a buzz..

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

sign me up for 2D. i haven't used adobe in a while, but using photoshop is like riding a bike...once you learn, you never forget.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

• 2D: Textures, logos, etc.
• Docs: people who can write documentation.

this is a much better idea that when i told everybody who was interested to PM me - kudos to Astronouth7303

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

And generated a better response... :)

Only Astronouth and I that I know of...

Oh, yeah. We appreciate testers too. :)

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

i actually got 3 responses, but still, this is working WAY better :D

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

I can do 3D.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

I can do Flash and Photoshop, thoguh I don't think that's what you guys want. I can also do websites, if you need a website. Don't go to the one in my sig, the domain is currently down.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

The Photoshop might be useful, although we have a few others already. The website is cool. I can only remember 1 or 2 who have said that so far (I didn't actually look back...). :)


:D

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

this is all volunteer, we can't have TOO MUCH help. it's like a FIRST team. On a FIRST team everybody can help - no matter how small the job, they are making the team better.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

I can also help out with any webpages needed.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

I was wondering what he hell happened to the FIRST video game thing, we got our own forum thing!

Jim Smith - Programmer
I am hoping to expand my knowledge of C/C++ this summer, as of now i am fairly useless. I know some VB too, but wont use it because i hate it, it was a good stepping language, but i can't see its use with things like C++, Objective C/Cocoa....

Oh, yeah, I am a Mac person only, i have no PCs (i suppose when i get my G5 i MAY be able to run VPC, if MS ever puts it out). So i would like to start working on a mac "port" as soon as possible so it doesn't look and feel like a port.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

Me too.
Check Cementing auxillary file formats. Some things to remeber: 1. When I say ZIP, I mean like WinZip; 2. DLLs are for windows. so you may have to integerate WINE or something. (OS X)

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

Yeah, i know there will be some real issues with the port, that is why i am so adamant about using open standards, and would like to see the open source project only support open standards/multi-platform standards (as many as possible anyway...)

Zip stuff is open, and is all over mac stuff too, but DLLs would be the problem...

If you look around alot of people use alot of different types of computers/Operating systems, whether it be Windows, linux, unix, mac OSX, PowerPC, x86.... So i think it would be good to start off with a multi-platform mind set.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

Of course, not using DLLs would mean we would have to write a script Virtual Macine. I know which one I'd prefer. (actually, there is a scripting control from MS. it does VBS and Java script)

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

I don't expect you guys to make it MacOSX compatable for me, but if you do and all ihave to do is hit compile on xCode, that would be cool too :)

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

After we get it working on Windows, we'll probably try to port it to Macs/Linux/etc. :)

No guarrantees though... ;)

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

I'm willing to work on Documentation as well.

Re: FVG: Group sign up.
 

Ok, I would really like to help with this project.

I don't have much experience, but I think I could help out with 3D and maybe website.

If, and that may be pretty large if, I can figure out CS, and get it to run, I could help with coding as well.

As always, I can be a quality control and/or beta tester! :rolleyes:
