I've had a look at your site and forums, and would like to offer some constructive criticism.

1. You state on the site that the core team is French, and mention this in connection with spelling and grammar mistakes on the site. If you want to release your game in English at all - in particular if you are hoping for a commercial release - you will need to make some huge improvements there. At the moment, the standard of English used is not good enough for a game to be released in English. You might therefore want to look into hiring a translator right away.

2. I noticed this in the recruitment post on your site:

* quests creation (nobody can JUST do quests, will surely be picked up in the existing staff)____still need someone

It's a fallacy to assume that dialogue and quests are easy, and that just anyone can do them in their spare time. If you want good quests, you'd better start regarding quest writing as a specialised area of your production, just as you would consider texturing or audio as a specialised area. Having challenging and interesting quests is going to be an extremely important part of your game. Graphics become outdated. Good quests remain good quests.
Equally, don't ever assume that good dialogue is easy - it's not. Especially dialogue for an RPG.

Best of luck with your project - let us know when your demo is out! :smiley:

Thx you for your advices Theta Orionis.

first, Its real that i got some errors in my speaking,( i'm french speaking as you understand ), and its real that the spelling's a huge way of destroying our project if its too bad.To prevent this, i'm currently in search of a translator ( english/french) for a while now. ( hard to find )

For the "quest issue' i'll explain it a litle :
the project look for "nerver-load" maps a la morrowind /gta /jak 3 ....The way we will create "side quests" ( a portions of them ) is like this: when mister "x" work on the project. It automatikly give"s i'm a "land" in the project ( from the "welcome on your lands !" thing ) and, in this point of view, the mister "x" will create , if interested, its own side quests for the project......The main quest and others "story related" side quests are/will be created by the storywriter.
for dialogue ( not the fact that i'm writing as sh*t in english ) it will be done by cartoonist experienced artist. keeping it solid...

Errrr...are you saying that each person will create side quests in the cells they're responsible for? You do, indeed, need a translator...no offense.

[hiddenloss]

what i'm saying's that when a member of the project become "active" ( meaning he's doing something for the production) He got himself a "part" of land on the original beta release. Like when someone doing himself a new house in a mod for morrowind or other game, but this time, its in the original game....So if this person want to create some "quest" or place traps or anything else on his own terrain ( new house, forest , nothing ...)he can and all "gamers" that will download the beta will see it.

Yes, we are searching for some translator for the game ....
:tongue2:

The point Theta Orionis was trying to make is that if you want good quests, you need dedicated quest writers. Just because someone can do good exterior building (to get their land) doesn't mean they can write good quests. If you stick to that plan, you're likely to end up with a lot of average to bad side quests. Quantity over quality does not work in an rpg.
