Dual Ortus Updates

[killerogue]

First on the menu, I'd appreciate it if one of the moderators would kindly delete the other Dual Ortus hiring thread please.

Mk.
Hello there all! My name is Seraphim, some of you know me by a host of other aliases and that's fine. I'm currently heading up the playerworld project Dual Ortus and the project is coming along nicely. I figured to make it a bit easier on all the staff members it would be easier just to have one updates/hiring thread to post regularly in. The project is currently open for visiting to those who have a gold or VIP account and wish to take a look at the server or see how things are going.

However, we will soon be going staff only and posting a few screenshots here and there.

Project Goals

The main goal of the project is to create a fantasy world where 'anything' is possible. We're planing to have a wide host of areas of different looks and terrain. Places differing in people (npcs), monsters and fun things to do. There will be a host of events being played in RP style almost as if they were regular aspects of the gaming world.

Current Progress and Screenies

We currently have lost a few days work due to the HD error Stefan explained about in another section of the main Graal forums. But currently the secret battle system is underway and should be finished around March. As well as the MUD system and a few beta testings of everything should be available around march.
I would love to have a nice screenshot to be able to show you all but the tileset is currently being reworked by Shrimp, Dan, Codein, KAi, and myself (Once Photoshop finishes downloading). So until we have a decent level or 2 to show we will be short on screenshots and viewings of the server.

Storyline

Currently I'm a bit fuzzy regarding the storyline as I am still working out a basic idea for this. But so far it's been decided that we will keep faithful to a 'loose' storyline as in a series of quests' that link together in which you can continue or stop in the story at any time. Alot of hints and puzzles will be involved to keep you busy for hours on end finishing quests on Dual Ortus.

A current list of our developmental talent:

Hikaru - Scripting
Codein - Graphics
Shrimp - Graphics
Dan - Graphics
Myself - Graphics, Ganis, and Levels
Zanity - Scripting

Currently Hiring

Yes, we are currently hiring development staff for the departments of LAT, Gani, and SFX POSSIBLY. As you can see a majority off the staff positions we are comfortable in our numbers with and have everything down pat in those areas. However, if you would like to apply for one the the positions not listed then PM me or AIM me and we can talk.

Opening

We plan to have enough ready and available to be put on Hosted around March, or April-ish so to give players a chance to play the server. Get a feel to it and see how they like it.

Closing

A majority of the ideas planned for this server were not listed as to keep the server hush hush and have everything surpriseable for the player and have them enjoy everything to the utmost when the server actually does release. Below are a list of management staff contacts as well as email/hiring information.

Thank you,
Serpahim, Dual Ortus Manager
