Accepting Bids on Project
by Jerry Welch · in Jobs · 11/23/2004 (11:56 am) · 5 replies
I am working on a four player chess game and am seeking team members or bids in the following areas:
1) world construction which will be primarily a skybox, chess board (custom board of my design; tiles will be separate models to accomodate changes in chess board skins) and pieces.
2) Programming necessary to :
a) Restrict plays to legal moves of pieces. (i.e., rooks can't move diagonally but bishops can)
b) Programming necessary to score moves and wins.
c) Allow network gameplay.
All serious inquiries should be sent to tlwitness ( at ) hotmail.com
Thanks,
Jerry

Might want to contact Ben Woodhead, he has been working on a really cool Chess game for a few months now, all done in Torque!

I have since addressed all three points, (one of which was a name change, which called for a new copyright and trademark) but instead of presenting it to them again as a board game, I am wanting to submit it as a computer game.
Do you have an email address for Ben? The reason I came here was that I saw the amazing 3D Mahjong game. After seeing the quality of that game, I knew I had to use Torque.
I am willing to discuss profit sharing and ownership of the computer game as well as take bids.
Thanks!

Joshua, thanks for that link. Though I've investigated four player games, this is an original four player chess game with a custom board not mentioned on the links you provided. (Yes, it took awhile to go to each of the four player links to make sure!) I copyrighted this game in 1989 and submitted it to Wal-Mart through their WIN program and came within three points of having them accept it.I have since addressed all three points, (one of which was a name change, which called for a new copyright and trademark) but instead of presenting it to them again as a board game, I am wanting to submit it as a computer game.

Iirc, the 3d Mahjong game is not done with TGE, but one of the Game Building BASIC (Dark or Blitz, I think)
