I wanted to do this a long time ago but never had the funds to fund such a project, and never wanted to make a post like this for it to eventually fail like all the rest. So here we are today.
I am looking for a team, a small team, of developers and just people with a great knowledge on computing like myself to build something.
My first project, and ours, is going to be a Dark Orbit server but not the basic bullshit. We will have our own twists, our own story, our own way of making this game the way it should have been. This could be fucking huge, and we have many ideas already for standalone games, mobile games, browser games, private servers for other games. This is just the start of an adventure.
I cannot offer you a monthly living wage that will allow you to leave your job and join our company/team, AT THIS MOMENT, but as time progresses and we grow this is by no means a dream. I already pay a team of staff on a completely other game for a server I run that is successful, and funds from that are being used for this project.
If you are interested, leave your discord below or fill in the VERY BASIC application below and I will get back to you. I have given an example of an application below, remove my answers and replace them with yours.
-APPLICATION-
Name (NO need for your IRL name here)
Moji
Age
24
Country
Scotland
Skills/Talents
Great verbal skills
Great typing skills
Proficient in programming languages such as Java, C++, C, C#, HTML5, CSS, Python, Javascript and SQL. Along with very basic knowledge on many others,
Very able to hold a conversation and easily approachable.
Something about yourself
I love to game, since I was a young toaster( I don't know what people are identifying as these days). I have always loved computers, every part of them, and have went to college and studied almost every part of them. You could call me a computing pervert if you so wish. My passion though, has always been gaming, I always wanted to be a game developer but my lecturers at college told me it was a waste of time and that it was so niche and time consuming that it wasn't a logical carer path. I am the average gamer looking to make a great community. I also enjoy a drink and a big fat bong, this is me.

I have given you my very basic example of what we are looking for. Just be honest, great personalities along with talent is going to make us go far, not stuck up asshole money grabbing fuckers.

My lecturer had it all wrong. My team have made small time servers, mods and plugins for years. We have made basic Minecraft, Rust, DayZ, CSGO, servers and mods that averaged from 20-300 daily servers or players downloading them, this is small time. We made money from these small servers without milking them and making these servers disgustingly P2W. What did we build? A COMMUNITY. This is what I hope to achieve, a company that doesn't rely on 10s of millions of players paying money for subscriptions to play or whatever, you guys know the rest.
This is a way more in depth post than a usual Dark Orbit sub forum post really goes, but there is so many talented people here doing little, and some like me got so fucking bored of it and now do nothing.
I see so much fucking potential in a a game like this. DarkOrbit, War Universe, Pocket Universe, Space Age. Given with my ideas you could compare our servers to EvE or Freelancer in a year or two. BUT STILL Look at the numbers of these games. DarkOrbit still has a ridiculous amount of players, War Universe a private server based off it, 1,000 simultaneous players each day sometimes, pocket starships had the same and it was only mobile, and space age a barely known Pserver will peak at 500 daily, and once they release their main server 1k easy.
I've rambled on a lot but I am passionate about making something out of fucking nothing. See you in my DMs, much love.
