Recommended Posts

So… I've been getting the urge to get Eretz off the ground once again. Big dreams, Big Ambitions....
I've been a long time member of Mirage Source/Konfuze/Elysium Forums and I'm sure if ya'll trolled there, You've seen my work and or Eretz.

Eretz was killed a few years ago after many years in development from a computer crash, but I have reunited with some of the team members from the original Awakening days and we have decided to resurrect Eretz if we can find a programmer who is capable to take ideas for the game and make the reality.

Current team members (I am the only one on this forum)

Lamborghiniz : Head spriter, Designer, Pixel artist
Creepy/Shane : Designer, Mapper, concepts
XZIBIT : Designer, Mapper

----EX/Old team members----
Joost - Programmer
John - Programmer

Backstory and old stuff (Which is still good stuff) ;)

Hey Everyone, As you all probably know by now, Eretz (Formerly Awakening) Has been in production for the past few years (Off and on)
It had its ups and downs, but now we have a really strong team (Members listed below), Excellent ideas, and plenty of support from our supporters

Storyline (Rough Draft)
The World of Talmar, A place of wonders, but also a place of great civil war. For Hundreds
of years, The towns of Milen and Triton have been at civil war. Senseless killing has taken
its toll on the world. In spite of the tragic losses throughout the years, Many heroes still
fight for their towns. While all the fighting has been going on in the overworld, Deep in the
underworld, Lies The Ungodly Underworld king, Oblivion. He has plotted to take the Overworld
in the name of the Underworld. Recently, The Overworld was struck by a series of violent
Earthquakes, Thus allowing Oblivion to have his chance to reign over the Overworld. Oblivion
Corrupts many of the inhabitants of the Overworld, Make them fight for him, As well as bringing
Unearthly creatures from the Underworld to help with the takeover. Word spreads of this take-over,
And in a vast effort, The two Towns of Milen and Triton have sent their finest heroes to take
down Oblivion and his reign over the Overworld.
Can you be one of the few heroes to stop Oblivon, Or will you die in vain?
Only time will tell when you step into the realm of Eretz., In the World of Talmar.

We're trying man… I recently got back with the original team minus John (Elysium owner) who doesn't seem interested in the game anymore. I have MUCH more stuff, as Eretz was in closed beta before it shut down. If we can find someone who is capable, we'll gladly show what we can do :)

We're hoping to get this thing rolling again.. Like I said, Before we lost the code, we had a very promising game. The team is ready, we just need someone to take the ideas and make them reality. Its nothing on the coding of WoW or something, but Its not some run of the mill game either :)
