We need people! Lots of people, the more the better! If you know anyone that could be useful to us, or if you advertize on our behalf, we'll reward you with some cool bonuses in the game. The more you recruit for us, the more you'll get. ;)
Here are the divsions of the Development team and info on them:
FYI - all teams will have a Leader and an Quality Assurance Team Member.
» Images « The image team is responsible for the devlopment and polishing of virtually all the images as part of VICE. This is a VERY VERY open-ended area, one in which your creativity is the limit. We'll be needing images for in-game items, characters, and places. You must be able to somehow produce images, how you do so is up to you. If you want to draw on paper and scan them, by all means - go ahead. If you'd prefer to draw them on the computer using facy software, I am not standing in your way. Images should be, however, crystal clear - to the sense that pencil marks on the edges of an image should be removed using image software. If this is for you... we want you!
» Coding « The Coding team is responsible for developing, debugging and maintaining all of the PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. - Web Design in essence - of VICE. Mandates for coding include: erganomics (easy to understand and use - even to a 10 year old computer novice), speed (excellent loadtime is a must), prevention of exploits (hacking protection) and high-end beautiful content. Never will entire files be sent to anyone. Instead, parts of files will be managed, and debugged my me personally. That way, if a developer slips any intentional bugs into the site, I will have to blame myself. Extensive logs will be kept, in order to maintain the harmless faces of the developers - so they can still play the game.
» Coding: Games Development « The games development team will be builiding games in Flash and PHP. They're primary focus is security, as we asw many people benefitting for exploits in Neopets games, especially between 1999 and the end of 2000.
» Coding: Hacking Team « They will constantly try to hack into our severs, games, etc. This team will be comprised of people who have do not develop the code, as to make their efforts the best possible. It will also consist of devlopers who frequently handle the actual code - who will look for exploits only a developer could know. The findings of this team will not be released to anyone, other than the Lead Developer, nor will they be discussed amongst the Team, without explicit permission. This is seperate from user reported bugs.
» Quality Assurance « "The VICE QA Team" will ensure all teams are doing their best, and will put forward suggestions on behalf of the VICE community. They will also lobby as to the needs of the VICE community. Just like a true Democratic soceity, only the Monarch, being me :P, doesn't have to listen - but I will, I'm no jerk. Their focus will include: Erganomics, speed, presentation, appeal and features. They should also be doing the majority of the bug reporting. :)
» Support & Moderation « We don't have an immeadiate need for a support team, but we will in the near future. We will need intelligent (not that you're not all intelligent), cool, nice, hott (you're all hott :)) and most of all - informed - people to answer helpdesk questions. We'll also need people that want to look for people exploiting the use of multiple accounts. Hopefully, we'll need forum moderators too - they will also be a part of this team.
Just incase you were wondering, I'm poor. I'm not about to pay anyone for helping out. It's just like doing a good deed, you help someone - you get a smile (hopefully) and you feel that much better about yourself. If you're in High School -- I will sign for this as cs (community service), if your Supervisiors will accept this as such. I believe it is cs because we are a non-profit Canadian Organization that only goal is to take people away from PORN and bring it into something educational. Yes I do believe a 35 year old could learn something from all of this.
I think that's it - ciao,
