Talent needed:
Folklore Games is recruiting a web designer to design a layout compatible with wordpress. We have a domain already set up, so all we need is the actual site!

Project name:

"Legend of the Peach Girl"

Brief description:
"Legend of the Peach Girl" is a game based on Japanese folklore in which an elderly couple discovers a baby girl in the middle of a large peach. These poor farmers and ex militiaman raised the baby as their own flesh and blood, naming her Momoko. They taught her everything that a young girl needed to know to survive in the world, cooking, cleaning, reading and writing. Upon her fifteenth birthday, a band of fierce ogres invaded the surrounding mountain villages, subjecting them to pillaging. Momoko, knowing that these farmers were not her birth parents, decided that in order to properly show her thanks to these people who raised her so well; she would force the ogres to leave the villages, making it safe for the elderly couple to continue their trades. With the help of three mischievous animal spirits, the player takes the role of Momoko as she travels through the mountains to find the ogre king and restore the mountainside back to its ordinary, peaceful self.

Target aim:
Downloadable game, and hopefully pitch towards publication.

Compensation:
IF the game is successfully pitched and IF there is a payout, then all team members will receive a percentage based on what went in/towards the game. I have contracts with this in writing if needed.

Technology:
We are using the UDK game engine. 3DS Max and Maya are the preferred modeling programs, but any program that can export as an .obj are welcome as well.

Website:
Legendofthepeachgirl.wordpress.com

Okay let me get this straight:
You want a webdesigner to create a CMS for you from scratch instead of using wordpress which already is an open-source CMS??
Why invent the wheel all over again? If you don't want to use wordpress then you can just get your own domain, webspace (rent it) and download some other free CMS like Joomla. Then have a 2D-artist create the design.

I'm quite good with web design (good enough to work with it professionally) but I would never write a CMS from scratch when there are so many open-source ones already available - and I doubt that anyone else would unless they got paid for it.

But hey, maybe I'm a pessimist...

Have you used it at all? As I said, I have a domain. I like wordpress because it is easy to edit (would like to edit myself thank you), and wordpress themes are nice and clean. Free themes have too much junk, and I want to personalize it to the game. If you know how to use html in the same way, please let me know. If not, please move along :)

And yes moci, I said compatible.

If you can create a clean, easy to edit site so I can import it to my domain with it, we can see of it will work with that :)
