Epoch Games is currently recruiting for additional team-members.



Epoch Games is an all-volunteer team of (currently) 26 members, all of whom are dedicated in our task of making amazing games. Epoch was first formed from the development team for the Skyrim mod known as MERP, the Middle-Earth Role-Playing mod (http://www.moddb.com/mods/merp-middle-earth-roleplaying-project), which was cancelled due to legal issues (Warner Brothers, the owner of the Lord of the Rings franchise, threatened legal action) and technical difficulties with Skyrim's engine. The core of Epoch Games is made up of such ex-modders, and have since been joined by individuals such as Borgut1337 (Creator of mods such as Deadly Combat and Sneak Tools), Elvarheim (Creator of weapon mods such as Azincourt and Glimmer), and numerous others.


Our current project is named Lays of Althas: Sundered Order, more information about which may be found below. Our team is comprised of like-minded individuals who enjoy playing and creating games, and we come from all over the world. We coordinate via online meas, including Skype-chat, online forums, and dedicated project-management software. As our project is very large in scope, we are constantly on the search for new team-members in order to help us further our vision to create an immersive and fun RPG. As our team is comprised of unpaid volunteers who work at their own pace, we do not expect full-time work, but some degree of dedication to the project is expected. Interested individuals should visit our forums and post an application under the Applications subforum (a link is provided below).



Lays of Althas: Sundered Order is a single-player, medieval-low-fantasy RPG being developed utilizing Epic Games' Unreal Engine 4, for Windows PCs. The game is set to feature an expansive, living world that will evolve and grow by itself, instead of revolving around the player's actions. The game is currently planned to be released Chapter by Chapter, with each bringing new regional content and gameplay features. It may also be of note that Lays of Althas: Sundered Order was voted into IndieDB's top 100 upcmoing indie games in 2013.



Additional information about Epoch Games and the Lays of Althas: Sundered ORder may be found on our repsective IndieDB pages:

We are currently searching for developers of many disciplines. Some basic requirements for joining the team are listed below:


-A solid grasp of English. Our team uses English as our main means of communication. As our team is international, perfect English is not expected, but it is required in order to coordinate.


-Dedication. As mentioned, full-time work is not expected, but team members should contribute somewhat regularly.


-Team-working skills. Team members must be able to work well with others.


-Skype account. Our team conducts meetings and coordination through Skype, and while it is not required for team members to be online at all times, it is advisable to have an account linked to our developer-chat.


-20 dollars. For team members who have to work with the game engine directly, such as animators and coders, 20 dollars is highly recommended in order to gain a copy of Unreal Engine 4. As our team is not yet funded, we are yet unable to pay for team members, though it is possible to get team members who own the engine to insert work from others.



If additional information is required, we may be reached by our IndieDB page(s) or forums. I may personally be reached through PM or at my email at [email protected] - I will be glad to answer any questions about our team and project. We will also reply to any posts on this thread.
