Parallax Vision is beginning a new project called Battle Frontier, Positions available are:

2D Artists
3D Artist/Modeling
Programmers

I am a Programmer and somewhat 3D Artist

The Game Project:
The game will consist of two teams, Alliance of European Union(AEU) and United Soviet Force(USF).

Game play:
each team will have a commander, the commander will be able to go into a top RTS like view and begin building schematic projects, he will be able to choose a building and have it built by other players in the game, if a commander builds a Barracks that will become a spawn point, then other players may enter the barracks and be able to go on a Purchase Terminal and choose a new character(Example: Engineer, Rocket Soldier, Assault, etc)
Every player will have credits which is gained by there refinery's, the commander gains credits for his team by building resource collectors which are vehicles that go and mine a resource bringing it back to the refinery granting him credits to purchase new upgrades, buildings, etc. Each player will be able to control there character by going to purchase terminals and buying vehicles, air vehicles, characters, and squad members, the commander may build units through the barracks and have an RTS like interface to use there units.

* Note: This is not the full game play plot.

Sounds like StarCraft.

1. Do you have any team members yet?
2. Anything developed yet, like a "Proof of Concept" demo or anything?
3. My first concern was that it sounded like the players were given direct orders by the commander, and therefore had no free will of their own. However on second glance, I see that players will be able to buy "characters, and squad members". Does this mean that there will be AI controlled team members?

I'm interested. I'm more artist than programmer so I think I can help. I'd like to hear more.

Infinitum3D,

1. We have about 4 team members extremely active currently
2. We developed the main things like the GUI, and a little bit of gameplay
3. There will be NO AI Controlled team members, my team and I are trying to stay away from any AI. We want our game to be based on players not by other AI. People playing will have a lot of free will they are able to do what they want if not given an order by the commander, also they do not have to follow what the commander says to do exactly.
