Hey folks, [ apologies for cross posting ]
I've decided to open source a 2D Flash game engine/framework I've been slaving over for years. The engine was previously licensed for use by the BBC on this game: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/run/play.shtml <http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/run/play.shtml> It's also responsible for a game demo that helped us make a big impression on PlayStation a couple of years ago: http://www.futurlab.co.uk/games/prism/ <http://www.futurlab.co.uk/games/prism/> - and more recently was used to create this demo: http://www.futurlab.co.uk/revenge/ <http://www.futurlab.co.uk/revenge/> - select 'Play Demo' and then 'Play Scene' for Scene 9. Here is a list of the features: http://www.futurlab.co.uk/Prism_Engine.png <http://www.futurlab.co.uk/Prism_Engine.png> - there's also some pretty advanced enemy A.I that enables enemies to jump around from platform to platform to chase a player down, which isn't showcased by either demo. There's no doubt in my mind that the engine is awesome, and lots of different types of 2D games can be made with it quickly. However, the architecture of the engine probably isn't too awesome because I'm a fine art graduate! It is MCV as far as I could make it, and it's ActionScript 3.0, but there will be people out there who will shake their heads at some of the decisions I've made. Well, that's what Open Source is all about right, to make something better together... So - all this is great, but I haven't got a lot of time. I'm looking for someone who wants to get involved in the PRISM engine, who is willing to work for free to help organise the files, become an admin/moderator on the forum, and to deal with a lot of the initial bulk of administration required to get the engine seen. In exchange, this person/small group of people, will have first access to all the code, and will be an Approved Developer on the website we're building. The engine could be really huge in this never ending wave of casual games interest, so would anyone like to jump in and help? Please email me offlist with some examples of your stuff so I can check yo skillz - james at futurlab co uk Thanks!
