> You may want to include a list of open positions. Job design and recruitment, ya know? Pretty basic stuff you've seemed to have missed. Of course, we can't all be human capital specialists or otherwise be an effective business leader. That all being said I may apply once you've got the basics hammered out, or I'd be willing to do it for you (re-invent your organization for you) for a fee.  Their is a simple reason behind the lack of "open positions". When you get into the commercial/retail development of a game, one finds that positions need to be filled for jobs that one could simply not have imagined. The first example that comes to mind is that of a secretary. Never once during the entire planning process of this company could have I imagined that I would, at some point, need a secretary. _Now I have two_. Every day the entire team is faced with similar situations, where we find the need to 'create' new positions to fill(One of our member's official work title is "Scribe", whatever that means). That's one reason, but it's not the only one, keep in mind that we are trying to quickly break away from the preset 'norms' of game development. By doing so, we are also breaking away from all of it's processes. We cannot hire people with new ideas, if we keep hiring the same way. Another reason for not filling out a 'positions available' section, is our work model itself. As a Scoria Games Team-member, you are expected to exercise initiative at all times, if something is broken, fix it. If a job isn't getting done, and you have the ability to complete it, then do it. For this we require people that fit the description on the 'careers' page on the website. If you think you fit into that description, then you'll fit right in! http://www.scoriagames.com/careers.php

> This seems all talk and no show. Do you guys actually have any real experience to show us? Videos on some game mechanics, screenshots of custom graphics, some actual designs you have planned, proof of this game which is almost ready to release? All I see is some really bad art on a website with little to no content. I'll quote you on the website, the entire thing is horrid, but it gets the job done. As far as a game trailer/more concept, we have a non disclosure agreement until the 1st of April, so you wont have to wait long. As for trailer/website/pre-sale campaign will go live on the 24th of April as well. I'm actually glad you posted here, we ARE in need of a skilled musician, we currently have 2 composers, Joshua Palacios, and all the music styling of Mathew Pablo, but a heavy metal/orchestral composer such as you, well, that's always needed.

I've been around here a good 5 years and counting  > > I just wasn't much for mingling until my later years. > > Back on subject: I think we all appreciate your attitude and ability to explain in detail what you need and what you're looking for. Great job. I've replied to the applications by e-mail. Be sure to check your spam boxes!

Any other takers? Come on!

> That is a _very_ blasé argument. First, chances are is that 25% of your current traffic uses a mobile or a tablet device, and you should encourage mobile/tablet use to increase sharing through social mediums. > > Second, nothing to do with the fact that it's an iPad, and if you think of it that way, you really are cutting yourself short. It's the low resolution. I'm using Chrome iOS, which still uses the Webkit rendering engine, and whether you like it or not, if it looks terrible on this, it'll look terrible on similar/lower resolutions with the same rendering engine (And chances are, with Trident, Gecko, and Opera, too.) will have a similar experience. > > If you're blaming _hardware_ for faults in your _design_, I highly doubt you're going to fit by your 'Creative design' motto. > > Anyway, glad to see that at least a mobile theme is in the works. > > And, no frames? You're right. I meant IFrames. > > On the bottom, it says, "I've got other questions". I asked if they were looking to improve the functionality for tablets/mobile, and I got a fairly ignorant answer in return. Forgive me for trying to make them see the point of supporting an iPad, as clearly, it's so critical, even you're taking it personally. /yawn. > > Anyway, there's no point in replying, as I won't be. Clearly, my time is wasted here. That is an iframe(as you know, much different from the frame tag, which is why it wasn't deprecated along with the frame tag during the HTML5/HTML 4.3 switch) generated by Vanilla Forums, which we apparently use. Forgive me for not knowing the inner workings of the BBS system on our website. I now know that their are, indeed, iframes in the one part of the website not created by us. As far as my comment regarding I-pads, I dislike apple products. This is an opinion, yes I am aware that %14 of this website's traffic is directed through a mobile device, and that as a Game-Development company we should appreciate all platform's capabilities to spread and handle our software. But I believe that my understanding of the facts that we must adapt to our users, is separate from my opinions on apple products. Nor is my opinion on apple products related in any way to the fact that, while I _do have_ access to the website's files, and I have in the past been known to edit them to make people happy, I _am not_ in charge of running/maintaining/updating/creating/designing the website. Now, regarding the last section of your spew. Their is a difference between Attack, and Point. Despite the annoyances of tireless perfectionist, I've managed to find humor in the entire situation. You claim my **opinion** was _ignorant._ Let that sink in. Brew in it a little, then reflect on what you have said. Is it safe, then, to assume that all opinions different from your own are, by default, ignorant? Now, I can't really blame you for this whole thing. Having been a member of the Eclipse Community for far longer than you(that is, assuming the 'joined' date on your profile is true) I can tell you one thing for sure: It has always been a long-standing tradition of the Eclipse Community to take an incredibly defensive stance while posting/responding. It's as if we where all bred to be at war, rather than to be communal. That is a fact that can be traced down though years of history on Eclipse. Just look at any thread in the WIP board, or the talent center, or the source edit board, or the Website Review board(which, by the way, people should know, **this is not**.). It's always the same tired arguments. It's always the same people letting everybody else know how worthless their project, and in extension, themselves, are because they've made a typo. Or they don't like their website(perhaps they aren't interested in mobile traffic?), or they don't like the way they've arranged the GUI, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So don't feel bad that you've wasted your time, so have I(so far I've been personally blamed: for the issues of an **entirely** unrelated website, the proper use of a valid HTML5 tag within a widely used public open-sourced BBS system, and I've been given advice which was not requested regarding an outdated design). It is the very nature of this forum to remain scared of the outside. So why wouldn't you be? However, I will say this: Often the best members are the ones with fewer amounts of decoration near their names. Look at Robin, for example, who you no doubt know as JC Denton Denton People like him pride in their work, not on their post/day ratio, or a little tag near their name claiming them developers. So if your time has been wasted, then it was your own fault. It is people like you who keep Eclipse small, and it is through your instinctive fear. Don't feel bad, it's only nature. I hope this will bring resolve to the matter of confusion between the Talent Center, and the Website Review boards.  Have a nice day. > Excuse me kind sir. About your response to my application via email; is there a time frame on when I should expect said response by chance? Yes, their is. I will be contacting you, and all other applicants on the same day. This is to avoid internal confusion, I hope you'll understand. You may expect my initial response by Monday. Thank you for the patience.

> Because it looks like plagiarism to me, and we've had enough of that on the board. Also, I'm an ass. > > Then you're an idiot. The layout is almost **_exactly_** the same and then there's this: > > I'll ask you again, why is your website an exact rip from Steam? Oh hey, _you know what_? There IS a rule against plagiarism on this board. Well, that's because Darksunlight.com is a completely separate entity from www.ScoriaGames.com This thread is inviting members into _my video-game design and development company_, **Scoria Games**. This thread is not advertising the "free web services" website darksunlight.com, which is a website that I am a member of. I do not own it, I did not create the template(and quite honestly I had no idea it was ripped until today, I don't have much time to play games lately). I placed a link to their website on my _signature_ because I personally support their endeavours to provide free web and server hosting for the eclipse community. The owner of darksunlight.com is Zananok, if you have problems with his templates, I suggest you take it up with him. Furthermore, it would be grand if you could apologize for having called me an idiot, and you went on to remove your huge post from this thread.

> More on the web design, why is it an almost direct rip from Steam? That, I don't know what you're talking about. > Why question the man? If you're not interested in what he's offering just leave it be. No need to criticize everything what he's doing. _You're right_, in-fact their IS a rule against that on this board. However, I do appreciate the concerns regarding our website.

> Not applying, but I was looking at your site on an iPad earlier… > > Have you used your website on an iPad, or any mobile device? It -seriously- needs either fixing, or a specific tablet/mobile stylesheet. > > EDIT: Actually, looking at it on a desktop, it doesn't look fairly better with the frames, either. "Frames"? You mean the deprecated HTML 1-4 frame tag? That will not be found anywhere on our website. Yes, we have looked at it on an Ipad, here's your problem: You're using an Ipad. Regardless, we are about to release an update for better mobile support. Thanks for noticing^^ **EDIT:** If you where referring to the 2 black borders, I removed them now, just for you. You're right, that wasn't "Web design", that was "Web decoration". I don't like uselessness on our designs, I'll talk to our web developers.

> This is legit! I've known cool for years in dp, > > He is very serious about this  Thanks! > Then so am I.  Saw your app. Please await our response ^^

**Welcome!** My name is Heber 'Druidtton' Casillas, around these parks I'm known as Coolmagicdude2. The reason I'm posting today is simple: I'd like to humbly offer an opportunity to follow your dreams, and pursue a career in Video-Game development and design! Let me explain: **Who are we?** Well, let's start with me. I've been a member of the Eclipse community since the days of Total Eclipse. I've always maintained that my interest in game development and design was sparked by this community. I've been around, playing eclipse games, making eclipse games, editing the source, all that good stuff. I learnt a whole lot from all of you. I guess the contribution most of you might know me for, is the Free server hosting service [http://www.darksunlight.com](http://www.darksunlight.com), on which I am Administrator. But beyond that, I am the Head Designer, and CEO of the video-game design and development company [Scoria Games](http://scoriagames.com). So now you know who I am, but let's go in depth into what **Scoria Games** is. **Scoria Games** has been around since 2012. As a company, we seek to destroy the current "copy & paste" mentality that has been sweeping the video-game industry for many years now. While working, we always try to abide by a strict code of Originality, and 'Creative design', all the way from concept and design, to practice. We believe that their is no point in repeating something which has already been done; to us, originality is _key_. At the current time we are working on 2 big projects, the first of which will go public in less than a month, that's where we need your help. **What do we want?** Since the time of its creation, to the present day, we have come along way. The company, and the people involved in it, have grown beyond what we could have ever hoped for. Now It's time to expand once more. We are currently working on 2 important projects, details, I hope you can understand, can't be shared so widely. But for the purpose of this thread I shall share their names: Project '_Solus_', and Project '_Laceras_'. Both of these projects will demand every bit of talent at our disposal, that is why we are looking for talented people. What better place than this forum, my home. As I have explained before, we enjoy originality. We don't like doing things like everyone else. As you'll understand, repeating things does not allow you to achieve anything new. Because of the nature of our company, and our practices, we will very often be faced with new fun problems to solve. We need people who are capable of thinking differently, people who are capable of seeking and providing a new solution for a new problem. Hackers, as it where. * **Think you can handle it?** * **Have you ever wanted to make video-games for a living?** * **Want to influence the minds of people?** * **Want to put your skills to the test, and learn new ones?** * **Want to lead the next generation of console and PC gaming?** **_Then we want you!_** Check out the [Careers page](http://www.scoriagames.com/careers.php) on our website to find out how you can apply! After submitting an application, we will contact you with more information, including an FAQ, and an informational package containing everything you need to know(from what is expected of you, to how much we pay). _Please note:_ That neither of our 2 upcoming projects will be created using any version of the Eclipse Engine. We are not looking for "mappers", nor "moderators" or anything of that sort. **Okay! But… I've got other questions** Great! I love questions, if you have any doubts that you'd like me to clear up then feel free to ask them in this thread! Additionally you may Send me a PM, E-mail me at "[email protected]", or use the contact us form on our website. Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day! Heber Casillas Head Designer / CEO [Scoria Games](http://scoriagames.com)

General not working. Also, just attach the images or use the eclipse [image host](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/) As your current host resized the images and they look…. crappy.

It really makes you dizzy when when you have a tile that is so repetitive.

@bladejsc1997: > If it wasn't for the transparency I'd use these… Oh dat transparency is really killing me…..

Oh nice! I was going for a way more complicated approach. I tend to think too hard about things xD Nice one.

Sure thing buddy, i hope it can help you as it is. I'm currently working on a more advanced full screen system, but i don't have nearly enough time to work on it as i would like.

@Toranos: > I'm certain I've seen these before.. Like on vbGore. Impossible, get that thought out of your head quick. @Robin: > Then you take no pride in your work. It's not that i don't take pride in it, its just that these images are almost 5 months old, i formated my drives a few times since then. I don't have the source files for the 3d models anymore, and it would be really bothersome to remake the bottle and hammer again just so i can take out the slight transparency on the edges. I'd rather just make some new items correctly. I just have to get done with a few trophies i'm designing, and i'll make a lot of items(correctly). This time i will release the source files for the images so anyone could edit them any way they like.

I forgot to disable anti-aliasing when i rendered the 3d models. The items had some slight transparency on the edges so when i overlayed them on the solid color the edges became a darker shade, so yea. You can see some horrible green edges on the items, but i can live with that just so i don't have to remake the bottle xD

Oh, you're right. Sorry, uploaded the wrong thing… There i really fixed the link this time.

Well… Yea i used them in the engine, they looked ok. Sure they are a bit pixelated, but not "aliased to fuck".

The source comes along with the download

I really don't understand how the origin's animation works yet. I haven't actually played around with origins much. Just sourcing and what not. If anyone needs an item in 3d i can make it for you if you want.

OK Sorry, i fixed the download link. You can download now.

@HunterXero: > I like the .gif you made Thank you^^ i like that one too! Its actually like 1080x1900 pixels, but its 110mb large, so i made it smaller xD It lost a lot of quality tough.

@Batman: > @Robin: > > > The request board on 4chan. It's where you go to request something and never have anyone reply. > > Some people an 4chan tend to not be too fond of homos. ;) > > Maybe they could tell from the image. XD Your post is full of fail… mostly because the whole point of an image board is to remain anony.... a screw it im not even gonna bother.

@Wraith: > I feel stupid for asking this, but what's /r/? [/R/](http://boards.4chan.org/r/) is the **request board** in an image board. Most common /r/ board is on 4chan.org, here you can show them any picture, and they will find it. Likewise, you may request to be given a picture of a red car being fucked by a dragon, and they will give you a picture of just that.
