okay, it has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid, to work on video games. I'm a big fan of the space combat sim games, and *huge* wingcommander fan. So when I found vegastrike. . . opensource space combat sim looking for developers. . . dream come true!
So, I am definitely interested! I have a lot of catching up to do as far as learning to write code. . . up till now I didn't have the motivation. . . writing code for some webapp is just as boring to me as any other job. But video games. . . wing commander remakes. . . w00t! w00t!
I have a few questions for you all. . .
* is there a cast of characters (I mean, people on the dev team) anywhere? I am looking through the wiki but no luck yet.
* how has working on vegastrike helped your resume / career / school endeavors?
* does anybody play eve-online? I found out about it just tonight and it sounds like fun. Obviously a project like VS doesn't have those kind of resources. but maybe we could take cues from great gameplay or cool features.
* finally, any thoughts about a business model (however modest) ?
A little about me, I do QA for a webapp company. I play a lot of music. I love to surf. I live in San Francisco. . . where nearby, Mavericks' has been getting 80-foot faces!!! w00t! http://www.mavsurfer.com/ I freak out at about 6 feet myself
okay guys thanks! I look forward to hearing from you all.
