Omnimaga seeks for new staff
« on: August 23, 2010, 01:56:40 am »
Omnimaga is now starting its usual end-of-Summer programming team recruiting of new Coders Of Tomorrow. This basically means that new spots are now open for the position in our team (green nickname). However, unlike previous years, we currently only accept calculator programmers (although they can remain in the team if they move to computer game or music creation in the future).

If anyone is interested in joining the programming team, you only have to meet the following conditions before you get hired:
-Have 50 posts
-Have been active posting for at least one month
-Have a good forum/IRC behaviour during that period and no past ban/suspensions longer than 7 days (including the old board).
-Be involved in at least one of the following:
 *TI game programming
 *TI game development tools (on calc or on the computer)
-Have a related project which was updated less than a month ago.
-The language used to program doesn't matter, same for the TI calculator model.

As Omnimaga staff you get the following:
-The ability to upload your TI games/utility, PC games or own music in our staff downloads section.
-You get sub-forums for each of your calculator game/utility, PC game/software or ROM hack projects.
-Global moderator priviledges (in case someone wins the game)
-If you ever quit calculator programming (which we don't hope :P), you can still remain in the team as either PC game programmer or musician (providing you make your own music), providing you remain active on the forums.

Here are the responsibities as Omnimaga staff (to ensure they remain active):
-Have an active project (or releases) going on under the themes specified above.
-Keep a minimum of at least 10 posts within the last 30 days from September 1st to June 30st and 5 posts within the last 30 days from July 1st to August 31st.
-Moderation is on a volunteer basis, although it's recommended to help when those naughty spambots flock in. :P

If you are willing to join the team, please PM me on the forums. Your staff application will then be queued then processed.

Sounds nice. I'll inquire over PM if I feel like it :)

Sounds cool, but I'm just getting started here, so I'll apply next year.

Well it depends, since we sometimes accept new staff past the application run, plus we do another run this Winter, so it gives you more freedom in deciding when to apply if you desire.

No set deadlines really, although we recommend not waiting way too long either, in case many people applied and we decided to add a limit

I might apply, but I'm not sure. I just started school and I have an extra class this year.... Perhaps I'll try for the winter run.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

I might apply as well, assuming I don't run into issues with school and getting in trouble :/

Yeah I think it is best too that people focus on school, to make sure to get good grades. It should be a priority. If they judge that they have enough time to post and do some project progress, then they can apply.

Well, your nickname would become pink.

On a more serious note, you would probably qualify but first you would probably need to become more active on the forums in overall and I would need to see Yumé after the DCS contest ends.

I don't know if I would qualify- I don't have any projects that I'm announcing right now, but I'm working on some stuff (Axe contest entry...), but I would like to join the Omnimaga team :D.

You wouldn't happen to have an open position for "Spriter of Tomorrow", would you?  ;)

But yeah, I actually haven't been able to get in much programming, and I'll probably do even less with my busy schedule this semester, so I'll pass on this one.
Good luck to whoever applies for this!
I do sprites and stuff, so yeah.
