BrokeAss Games - Ruin Online Update, new vids, and a request

Hello everyone,

We've managed to capture some better gameplay footage of Ruin and put it to music. So I want to share those and get some feedback.

Videos

If you like what you see and are interested at participating in development of Ruin Online at some level, we'd love to hear from you! info(at)brokeassgames.com

We'll be posting a position soon for programmers, but other skillsets are always welcome, which is what I really wanted to mention in this post:

We could really use some help on this beast! We're in what we consider the final phase of Feature/Framework adding. Some of which have been in game and were removed, some have never made it in. So far the team that developed out of our test community has been great. We've got some dedicated volunteers that make the live-test deployment side of this fairly easy, and rewarding with instant feedback or alerts if things go south...which they do.

Following is an excerpt from our Overlord list on Frameworks, this is just the sort of thing we are seeking programmers to help us with.

So take a look at the videos and Framework list below... if this is something you might be interested in, please contact me or lead dev: Ari.

Ruin Online is: TGE 1.51/1.52 (TMK) MYSQL

Thanks!
