We are still looking for animator and now we are also looking for a business manager:

Business Manager:

Responsible for overseeing the business side of things. Basically to
make this a better learning experience by going through the business
side of it with us aswell and to be sure we have done our homework if
that ever elusive publishing deal does come around.

We are currently actively seeking coders for work on the control mechanics of the skier (left,right,jump,friction etc). We are using the TGEA engine which is a commerical engine, meaning it costs money to use. We have no qualms buying the engine for dedicated, qualified applicants and will readily do so.

We are also looking for another 3d modeller to work on background buildings such as log cabins. These are to be made and textured as 3d models with collision to be added afterwards.

Here is some new eye candy.
