ScrPortal will be a platformer (2D) version of Portal 3 (not out yet, it's our version) where you play as a test subject awakening from something he doesn't remember, and all he wants is to find a way out. As he explores the headquarters of Aperture Laboratories, he finds out what happened, and realizes something is beginning.

More information is coming soon. Expect a mid-2014 release.

Jobs that are Available:
Complex Programmers (2) - You guys will do all of the programming for the game. Your main assignment will be to do the programming involving the portals, movement, and enemies such as Turrets. We need programmers that can 1) Work Together with others 2) Be able to read code that others have made and interpret it without changing it. And of course, 3) Be able to make complex scripts involving these things. Skill level for these programmers should be very high.
Basic Programmers (2) - You guys will take care of things such as menus, music, simple stuff that needs to be added. I will be helping with this stuff. You need to 1) Work together with others 2) Be able to read code others have made and interpret it without changing it, and 3) Be able to program basic stuff.
Actors - Coming soon!

Check back often for more stuff! We add more opportunities to join, so check!

Taken Jobs:
(1) Advanced Programmer
*botcrusher

Sounds good! Maybe get a collab going? That could decrease the time it takes to make.

It will be made with others, just wait for me to develop it further.

I need others to do the voices.

Great!

Added a small amount of the jobs available. I'd add more but I am tired xD.

Please apply in the forums. No application required, just say what you think is relevant.

I'll have to think- I want a programmer job, but I'm not sure which skill level I should go for!

It depends. If you can do physics programming, go for the higher level one. If you're like me, a basic Scratcher who gets confused when he looks at physics projects, go for the easier, basic level.

I could do the portals and gun, and menus

But advanced programming isn't all physics…is it?

Technically, no, it isn't ALL physics, but it is mostly physics. You also can program the enemies, but basic programmers do that as well. Basic focuses on everything but physics, meanwhile Advanced focuses on physics. Keep in mind they do overlap. So it depends if you want to do more physics scripting or more “other” scripting. Basic for “other”, Advanced for physics.

Does this help?

I'll add you as an Advanced Programmer then.

This does help. Thank you. I will see what I can do.

i have a basic jumping/movment engine here just trying to iron out the -0.1 and the -0.05 movment bugs

(EDIT I)
bugs fixed!
next step is the gun and portal physics

(EDIT II)
got the gun now for it's firing!

Hmm not sure what tlangster is going to say but… I think it's going to be welcome to the team!

dfghjk

from what i know:
it's a side scroller
based off portal
since Tlangster told me to wait till he hires more people i have not touched the physics engine

I will take advanced programming. I was going to make a portal game, but I am pretty lazy with art, so I will be an advanced programmer.

Nice to see people paying attention to this thread.

Later today I will go through the *HUGE* amount of applications, and get things started!
