Programmer wanted For Competition

Barry Gallagher

Hi!

My name is Barry Gallagher.
I am part of a student team looking for a c++ programmer to be part of a team for the student Dare to be digital games competition URL="http://www.daretobedigital.com"]http://www.daretobedigital.com[/URL. Applicant teams who get through the first round of the competition get to go to Abertay, Scotland and meet several industry veterans while making their game. Typically students who have left college for a year or two are still eligible.

The details of our Game and Team are forthcoming.

Team:
Nano Games

College Course:
Cghnd, Bcfe, Dublin

Game:
G-Rush, essentially an extreme sports game based around base jumping and skydiving. Production is in the early stages.

Game Engine:
We are using the ever popular Torque game engine from www.garagegames.com but intend switching content to Torque Shader engine in the latter stages if practical. Tge is a highly modified version of the engine used to make tribes and tribes 2. It was chosen for its large terrain creation and view distance which we think would suit a sky diving/ base-jumping game. The engine has a scripting language for minor changes called torquescript, but any major changes are done using the c++ sourcecode which is all accessible and compilable using the free visual studio express. It's a very tried and tested engine.

It sounds interesting and had thought about entering when I was still in college but couldn't get the people. I'm in galway and although spent first few years developing in c++ I changed to Java for the later 2 so don't think i'll be much help to you. Best of luck with it anyhow.
