Would you like to collaborate on a space exploration game? Then read on.

Warp factor is cubic: velocity = (warp factor)^3c

You are a cargo ship with only two phaser cannons.
You can only go at warp 5. If you overpower your anti-matter warp drives, you might be able to get warp 5.3, but if you try and retain it for more than a few minutes, your ship explodes.
You are trying to carry cargo from planet to planet while dodging space pirates with massively more firepower than you!
The space pirates are able to go at warp 5.6, and they can keep up warp 5.9 for a few hours before their ship explodes due to structural limitations. (And the space pirates use a more efficient warp drive, so they can keep up warp longer.)

These warp factors were chosen to permit movement of the ship to 20 light years from earth in a reasonable time.

Spots:
Main Coordinator & Head: Me. NOT HIRING
I will coordinate everyone even from different time zones.
I will host a collaboration studio and keep motivation circling.
I will accept changes, and help keep the game up to it's spirit.

Developers: HIRING, 3/5 spots
Being a developer, you will be assigned a part of the game to work on (Movement, physics, ammunition, trading, ect.)
You will also have to help coordinate the animators and artists.

Physicist: HIRING, 1/2 spots
Being a physicist, you will go over the games physics to make sure they meet reality. (Or at least what reality will be like in ~100-250 years)
You may have to make compromises to make the game more fun though.

You have a good awnser, but do you want to do background music, or sound effects? And whats a euphonium?

I can do both. A euphonium is a low brass instrument like the tuba but smaller. Learn more here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=I5aomOpZoaU&pp=ygUJZXVwaG9uaXVt

You are accepted! You will do background music. I'll send you a message when we're ready! I actually went to wikipedia because the link didn't work

That will be decided after all applications, but if you want to join you can!

We will be doing mostly super low res pixel art.

B.U.M.P Stands for Bring My Post Up. It is used to put posts back at the top of the list due to activity. It is a good way to get more collaborators.

BUMPAA Bring my post up again again.

FTTTBUMP For the third time B.U.M.P

Feel free to apply! Even if you don't feel like you're good enough, just remember that most people aren't as good as you. (Not that most people are bad, it's just that you might be the perfect person for this job.)

Also, what is your active time, @createsebi?

Is this UTC? “all day” can mean different things.
