Hello everyone.
This is Marcos Bird.
I am connecting with Rui´s account for a GUID is needed in ordr to be able to post on the forums.
The companny is going to be getting me a copy of Blitz3D, which the already have two registered copies of, by the way, in order to get me an exclusive, personal user ID.
This will avoid confusion to wheter it is a post by Rui or myself.
Meanwhile, let´s get to work...
First, I want to explain that initial communications will be allowed to be made on public forums.
For the very least, public forums allow for an easy way to make publicly available that everyone who will join us is aware that:
- You can not develop any casino games for us if you are under 18 years old (in some countries it might be 21 years so please make sure you meet the age requirements of your country/state/provincy, etc...)
- The companny is not looking for HIRING developpers.
We are offering you an opportunity to develop casino games and profit from your work.
- The companny doesn´t require you to work any number of hours per day/any number of days per week.
You are free to work on your spare time, etc...
- Any legal agreement will require both parties to sign a contract. The contents of the contract will only be disclose when that step is taken.
- After signing the contract, developpers will be supplied with confidential information, so yes, there will be plenty of legal jargon on it, so we suggest you ask for professional help BEFORE signing the contract. By signing it, you will be agreeing to all of its terms.
- The contract will be translated to english, so all contracts will be sent out in english, no matter what coutry you are at - even for brazilian devloppers, should that happen.
- Of course, developers must be ale to provide us with a list of used tools and prrof of purchase of such toolsm etc...
For example: if you use a graphics package to create something for the game, you must identify that package, and provide us some proof of purchase/registration, as we do not want to be involved with people who are using hacked versions of any software tool.
- Your games will have to be compatible with our hardware interface abd some external applications such as our game server technology, etc...
Now, for some specifics:
* First, we want everyone to choose one of the games in the following list:
Card Games
. Video Poker
. Deuces Wild
. Jacks Or Better
. Blackjack
. Three types of blackjack will be needed
. Baccarat
. Roulette
. American style
. European style
. Slot machines
. Several types.
This is the kind of game you wull be able to apply all your criativity... provided the game results are generated by our government-auditable random number generator.
. Bingo games
. Four Cards x 15 numbers x 33 + 3 balls
. Six cards x 15 numbers x 33 + 3 balls, 42 + 3 balls
. Four cards x 24 numbers x 33 + 3 balls
Games created by yourslef, which are ready to be converted to our requirements will also be considered.
But the companny REQUIRES you to register it with some legal authority, so you have some way to proof the game was designed by yourself.
All games must not rely on the players hability to play.
Fr games that involve strategy, it is important to allow fo a pure random outcome generation mechanism, yet it must implement an enable/disable flag for forcing GOOD results when the game is not paying the payback rate which it is advertised to be, due to lack of good tactics by the players.
This will only apply to places where this FORCING mechaninsm is required by law.
What we offer.
We can not disclose too much on a public forum.
So, this is what can be made publicly available:
- You get the option to coose a mix of per-copy PLUS a share of the profits generated by the companny.
- Let us know wjat you per-copy price is, privately. DO NOT post in here. People who do so, will not be considered for development.
- In case you do not charge a per-copy price, you will have a 5% to 10% share of the profits generated by your game - deppending on the cmplexity of the game.
A well written, aproved slot machin game, good-looking one, will most klikely to be offered around 7.5% share of th companny´s profits.
- Profits means the money made by the game, which is computed on a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly basis.
Machines which are sold will generate a one-time, bigger, profit.
Machines which are operated by our companny will generate a profit which is the result of the machines in-money less the out-money (coin-in - coin-out), divided by two, because the owner of the casino/bingo-hall gets half of it.
The deadline for choosing to join us is tomorrow, at 06:00PM, brazilian time.
BONUS GAMES:
Every game in the list mneds at least one bonus game screen.
Bonus games can be very simple, like: heads-or-tails, paper-scisors-stone, is-the-card-bigger-or-smaller?, is-the-next-ball-bigger-or-smaller? etc...
Deadline for delivering the completed games is June 5th, 2004.
Before we sign a contract, it is necessary tha people choose what game they want to develop.
It is not garanteeded that you wil be assigned the game you choose.
Please, e-mail your choice to
barbosarui@...
(Tomorrow, you will be provided another e-mail address, which will be directed to me).
Once you choose one of the games in the list, you will be givven one month to present an executable which at least resembles the game chosen.
It does not need good graphics.
And doesn´t need to work properly.
But it is absolutely necessary that after that one month period, you have created some material that is decent enough to prove that you will be able to complete the game by June 5th, 2004.
If it takes you less than one month, even better.
But people who fail to release that in one month will lose the option to develop that game, which will be passed on, probably to someone who has already presented proof of skills for developing another game.
After we get that pre-pre-alpha-prototype, we will proceed to signing the contract.
It will then be necessary to have an hour-hour conversation on the phone, and ONLY THEN, communication will take place on the account which will be activated on our servers.
Please, let me know if you have any wuestions concerning this post.
We have a couple of screens of some games that are finished and working.
Can omeone please tell me how to post them here?
Yours truylly,

Te company has built its technology on top of Blitz3D and has modified it to work with Blitz Plus.
That´s the reason why only Blitz Plus games will be accepted.
