Hello.
I'm an Italian 16 years old student. I got a good knowledge of many programming languages, including Basic in many of it's variants, C, C++, Java, Pascal, and some scripting languages like PHP, Perl, JavaScript, etc.
I loved all Bungie creations, incuding the Myth series: I played with Myth TFL since when it came out and worked with it since its tools came out. Same applies for Myth II, so I guess I know well how it's engine works.
My question is: Could I join the Myth II developers group, and help making it an even greater game?

Test Ground? :nocomment:
Maybe you don't know that I started programming at the age of 4 with my Apple //c and the "Learning Basic" floppy disk.
In the mean time, I also learned C and C++ and have been working on many freeware and shareware products and even on some commercial ones. Know "Sword Dream 3D"? My motto is: "Release High Quality, Innovative Software or Stop Working on It".
Ah, a beta tester said I could do something to support the release of an even better game, so :p .

Hehe Ach, none of the existing team are in BME so we're all n00bs by definition aren't we? 
Taskman thanks for your offer. At the moment we have three "generalist" programmers in the team, which is pretty much enough for our current needs. We have 2 Mac specialists, an OpenGL wizard, a linux guru who's doing that port and a Windows guy (who's gone AWOL on us - come back Skarg wherever you are).
Truth is there's only so much a general-skilled programmer can do with Myth - I should know as I'm one of them. What we need are more specialists to improve how it works on Windows and perhaps to look at a port to a whole new platform.

I'm not sure if I read it right....but I'm pretty sure he said he's been playing bungie games from day one, and developed maps and such with their tools.....now I question you Acheron....how does this make him a nOOb to myth? Maybe the concept went over my head...but perhaps not knowing how to get an emperor crown on PMnet doesnt mean you know zilch :;):

Graydon, it's probably best if don't ask Acheron to explain that sort of thing.

yep, I agree. Its silly & pointless to take offense at it. There's been enough flaming lately - lets keep it out of this thread at least please.
