Be part of the world's first Christian MMORPG game development team! Help us create Visions. Gain valuable industry experience working with the Bigworld game engine, an industry standard engine designed specifically for massive online worlds. Visions is an historical game set in the Ancient Roman empire. It is a quest and skill based game with three primary quest tracks: Professions, History, Scriptures. Players start out as a slave and earn their freedom by learning a Profession. There are history quests relevant to the 100AD era. And there are scripture quests for players to collect all the verses to compile their own Bible. It is heavily tradeskill oriented where play characters will be able to make almost everything that they use in the game. Because it is skill based, and not level based, veteran players will be able to share meaningful gameplay with new friends just joining the game. Use your gifts and talents for God's glory. Get involved and help us finish this game!

INDEPENDENT SALES PEOPLE!
We have an opportunity for Independent Sales people to come along side us and earn commissions from selling our games. Earn 20% from every referral from your site. No sign-up fee! You can sell from your existing Blog site, or create a new store site, whichever works best for you. When you sell our games, you are helping us fund the development of Visions. We do not have outside corporate funding, so this is our only revenue. Do you have a gift for sales? Come help us! Learn more on our store website. http://store.tinyzoo.com/affiliate-resources/

WORLDBUILDERS / LEVEL DESIGNERS!
We are creating a massive game world to include a majority of the Mediterranean basin, so we have a lot of work for worldbuilders to do. This is a volunteer position. Apply now! http://www.visionsgame.com/volunteer

PROGRAMMERS / PYTHON SCRIPTERS!
Visions is currently in the second Alpha state of development, meaning the core functionality of the game mechanics are not implemented yet, so there is a lot of work for programmers to do as well. This is a volunteer position. Apply now! http://www.visionsgame.com/volunteer

3D ARTISTS!
We have an ongoing need for artists, and occasionally for researchers working in tandem with artists, to create the buildings, items, and various visual elements of the game. We especially need artists who are comfortable with building 3D models of ancient Roman buildings with nothing more than a floor plan, or pictures of ruins to go by - historic artistic interpretation is a must. Artists just joining the team will not gain game editor access immediately, as we have a limited number of seats. This is a volunteer position. Apply now! http://www.visionsgame.com/volunteer

PLAY TESTERS!
Players interested in testing the game can buy access to our alpha test server for just $30 to access the download client. This is a rare opportunity to grow with the game and see it like the developers do. Get it now! http://store.tinyzoo.com/visionsalphadownload/

pLay testers should be free!!!!!

I understand your sentiment Tristan. And if we had outside development funding that might be an option. However this thread is for people who want to help us finish Visions. We have been working on Visions for a very long time with no funding. We have a lot of expenses that have been piling up, with no revenue to cover those expenses. Sometimes people want to help us but they don't have a skill that we need to advance our efforts. We have had a donation button on our website from the beginning, but it's kind of dusty. So we thought to offer Alpha access to those people who are invested in our efforts enough to make a one time contribution of $30 or more to help us finish. This is more about a reward to financial contributors than it is about charging testers. We are looking for people who are really passionate about helping us finish Visions, not people who just want to get into the game for free. If you really want to help us finish the game, help us in one of these ways. Or pray for us. That helps too.

Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns.

God bless you,
