Volunteer Looking to Lend a Hand

I have been a technology professional for over eleven years with experience in software quality assurance, application development, project management, and information security with a passion for computer games. The Zork Trilogy and Eye of the Beholder were the first games that I installed on my 8088 and have been a dedicated gamer since that time. I have reached a point in my career where I need a new challenge outside the typical corporate environment and want to venture out into the computer game industry.

I can commit to 10-12 hours/week for the right project.

We are currently recruiting developers to bring back the well known game; The Sims Online (also known as TSO)

TSO Restoration is a non-profit organization which is restoring and recreating The Sims Online (which was shut down in 2008).

TSO Restoration's website can be found at Welcome to TSO Restoration Project! .

TSO Restoration's community currently has nearly 3,000 members with over 7,000 posts, and a development team consisting of 6 fully dedicated developers.

We currently need programmers with experience in either C++ or C# (or both).

We also need talented reverse engineers/packet decryptors to help us reverse engineer file formats and packets which the game uses.

Presently, we need help with the FTP/patch server (coded with C++ and FTP), the update client (coded with C++, Win32 and various networking APIs), the Isometric Engine (coded with C++ and OpenGL) and various other things including format research and rendering.

People with knowledge of Win32 APIs such as WinSock and GDI will be especially important to the team.

Anyone who wishes to apply should either create an account here at TSOR and submit a development application in http://www.tsorestor...opers-paradise/ , or email me directly at codemonkeyjonathan@gmail.com .

You may consider our game Abydos Online:

www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/124075

You could easily become a tester.

May also fit a developer role as well but to make sure you may contact our project lead through the provided contact method to make sure.

Optionally you may also fit into a PR role as well, in case you are interested in such that is.
