Guys, it isn't a hard deadline. We had to pick a date because we can't wait forever for people to return submissions but if something if good quality is submitted I know Iituem will consider it just like any others. We have a lot of writing to get done, after all.

[Max White]

Yea, were going to start with 126 writers, then every week eliminate half of them, until only one remains, and were going to have him write the bios for the weapons.

Well, a thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters, and all.

[Max White]

Monkeys cost too much, B12 is cheaper, and your less likely to have PETA breathing down your back for chaining a baywatcher to a typewriter.

So do I just PM random stuff to someone?

[IronyOwl]

You ask for a prompt, and they give you one, and you write based on that and PM the result to whoever they say you should.

[Iituem]

I'll be studying all the responses over the next two days and picking out my team.  As Forsaken said, this isn't a hard deadline - I'll still be happy to recruit writers after this, but I wanted to get the first few members of my team sorted out by the end of the month so we could make progress with assignments and generally marching on with the project.

Had some great responses so far, by the by!  Should get time this evening to do a proper review; should contact people by Wednesday at the latest.

P.S.  Thobal, I've sent you the writing prompt.  Enjoy.

Iituem is our content director and he'll be handling the art and writing team. Glyph is the lead coder, and he has at least one code slave under him right now. Anyone wanting to contribute art, writing, music, etc should message Iituem while anyone interested in coding should talk to Glyph. Anyone else, or anyone with other questions, shoot my way.

Monkey resents that: I work for bananas!

Erm... this may sound silly, but you DID get my application, right?

Yeah, it's just that I'm on holiday for the week and all my files are at home, so if I didn't, well, I'm screwed.

[Darvi]

Hmmm. I'd apply for writing and/or level design, but I don't think I have the dedication for, well, anything.

Heh, a game development team, I had always before read the title as "recruiting for a team game" eg, some game called Colony Command and you wanted to put together a team to play it >.< . Well,  my forté is coding but I may be able to help with sounds, if you have a list of needed sounds somewhere? I'm also an avid reader of scifi, so I could try my hand at writing lore.

Tentatively offering my services as a music guy. I'm not sure what kind of style you want. Email me if you're interested, fluffytoastj@gmail.com

Just thought I would offer an update. It's been a while now, we've been working internally on the game and have come a long way though we're by no means anywhere close to even an alpha stage. I thought I would share this as I found it kind of entertaining, an extremely simple test build of part of the game with physics enabled for the missiles. You can click around to send missiles spiraling all over the place.

I want to stress that this is a build made up to test certain things and does not in any way reflect the current or future state of the game, I just found it amusing so I had Glyph copy it off and wanted to share it.

A physics-enabled missile command type game will certainly be interesting.

Edit: A word of caution... I've been told by a few people that this locked up their browser. This is a pre-alpha test build with no considerations for compatibility so use with caution. It won't (shouldn't) break your computer (but I'm not responsible if it does!) but be careful anyway.
