Topic: "Motalis: Back To Roots" - new 'game' from Estonia - plus job opportunity!!!

[24/7]

So this is where all the video gamers hang out is it? Feels like a basement........ 

Only teasing.

I'm on a team of developers in Estonia, creating a new game - with a twist. I won't pretend to understand how these things work, I'm simply their proofreader/editor/mentor and I am the voice actor for the main character, as well as the story narration.

(flash tags not working for me - here's the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrtwEVdqhy0&feature=emb_logo)

You can read about the background here - switch google to translate the page - it's good enough to get the feel - https://diktor.geenius.ee/rubriik/mangud/eestis-luuakse-ambitsioonikat-arvutimangu-mis-hakkab-sulle-tulevikus-palka-maksma/

You can also find out more about the background from the fundraiser page (no, I'm not rattling the tin per se, it's more an attempt to gauge interest amongst youse and also to highlight the next bit....) - https://www.lifelongfund.com/index.html

Now the next bit - are you a serious gamer, going as far as being able to build the brand as well as the game itself and looking for some work..........?

The first chapter of the story is also online - https://www.lifelongfund.com/pages/story.html

So - impressions? If you want me to make intro to the game owners, for any of the above opportunities, let me know and I'll do a warm intro for you.

So you're on a team of developers but can't get the flash tag to work? I don't hold out much hope for this game

cheers pro - I know exactly what the code is for inserting flash tags but mac no longer supports flash so as far as i see it, the embedding doesn't work.

Cheers for the feedback, Dan - I'll pass all this on - I don't believe that this is all they'll put infront of investors, I'm just testing the waters with youse cos you're an audience I trust.

You'd be far better creating a full narrative world for the game, fleshing out the main story arcs and presenting to a number of game studios with salaried staff that can expand on the idea without needing egregious funding goals in exchange for a % share in the game's future earnings. That's the only way you'll ever get it off the ground imo.

That's gold - thanks. My understanding (since I haven't yet had the time/opportunity to dive too deeply into that side of it with the owners) is that this is the plan. This is Estonia, the land of tech startups and unicorns - anything can happen

When you click on the link to the Estonian article, Dan, did you read the English translation offered by Google?
