You can contact me over MSN or email at sid1120@hotmail.com

If I jump in, we would need to work on predetermined schedules (like 1 or 2 evenings a week) as I work full-time and have some stuff to do x_x

Also I work in AS3, any details on the old code existing or does it need to be started over?

I can work this that, however this means you will need to forward me all animations and movieclips so I include them myself into the main file,

rather then what I would have prefered:

sending you my scripts with predetermined empty movieclips you can just animate and test the result

In any case, just send me an email or add me on MSN using sid1120@hotmail.com

Some old gallery I maintain, some bits containing AS3.
Actually, the most recent post on the gallery is what I will be using (after some adaptation) as the character control is already programmed and just needs to be animated (the animation currently contained being some static text).

I also just received some advanced ActionScript 3.0 books from www.oreilly.com (Design Patterns, AIR Cookbook which will allow me to port the game as a Desktop application, AS3 Advanced scripting).

I actually use Flex Builder 2 rather then Flash as it is a better working environment for scripters.

I'm having a hard time to decide who's gonna take the spot...

Whoever codes this in a very sexy and awesome way gets the spot:
GOGOGO!
Basic
Osh
-Walk
-Jump.
-Ome (green/blue character)
-follow osh around

Extra:
-Interacting with signs & stuff
-Ome's punching and kicking actions
-Different screen sizes

*NOTE* the more you code, higher possibilities to win the spot... :U

Wouldnt that be the entire game engine done?
I downloaded the .fla file. Wont all those bitmaps make the file size huge?
I reckon i could code this for sure, but im not sure if ill make an entire game engine just to prove myself.

Well I had sent a pm, mentioning that I already have a working engine and yet you completely ignored it. Which also caused me to lose interest in general. And looking at the competition its insulting even having to compete and make you an engine just for that (even if it already is made lol), not that I am stuck up but one shouldn't have to slave just for a chance to get a shot at this. Previous work isn't proof enough anymore what?

On a sidenote seeing the actual art content it doesn't look like much or as if there was a lot of planing or design involved. Maybe you are still hiding away some stuff, who cares.

Well thats that.
