A New Solution for a New Age: join Awesome Corps today!
Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2008 2:16 am
In the Genesis of ZZT, a company was the solution to many problems, giving a game a brand that would increase its visibility and help it to stand out amongst its competitors. It would also provide to its members a stable of fellow programmers that would be prime candidates for beta-testing and collaborations.
Rules for joining the new solution:
1) Don't be afraid of the grope. Embrace it.
2) Ask, don't tell.
3) Is that a crankshaft?
Conditions of maintenance:
1) Funding for game development will be provided, assuming that all projects are completed within 5 years of their beginning.
2) The cancellation process involves Ocelots. If you suspect that you may not finish a project, then keep that project to yourself and do not unveil it until it is likely to be completed. I don't want to have to spend money on an Ocelot because you were lazy.
3) You are your own best beta-tester. Be a careful coder and spellcheck like a motherfucker.
4) In open contradiction of the previous condition, expect that you shall be asked by fellow companions to beta test. This shall not be declined.
5) There may be a collaboration. Do not deny your fear, but embrace it. Draw strength from it, and act bravely in spite of it. The brave are scared too; only a madman knows no fear.
6) Take an art class. Mold a human body out of the clay. Replace the eyes with wangs and claim it art. Be creative and possibly homicidal.
7) You're fired.
8) Once you are the Vicar, you are the Vicar for life and cannot resign. The only way to become Vicar is to kill the current Vicar.
I hereby disband Awesome Corps. Thank you for applying.
