Need help for a Serpent Isle based fanmade game

Greetings my fellow dragons

I am currently planning on the realization of an new Ultima fan-made game
entitled "Return to the Serpent Isle", which as you may guess involve the
former Lands of Danger and Despair and is very much tied to one of the most
beloved episode of the Ultima series: "Ultima VII Part Two - The Serpent
Isle," which was released in 1993.

"Following the defeat of the Guardian, Britannia is finally at peace. Yet
Shamino feels compelled to start an expedition toward the Serpent Isle,
intend on finding out what have happened to his former land. As a member of
his expedition you are about to set out on an adventure that will forever
change your life."

It aims to create a totally new adventure in the Ultima universe, with new -
and some old - characters, a familiar yet different surrounding. and a
philosophy that aims to be faithful to everything Ultima ever stood for,
while at the time trying to modernize it - and thus giving the chance to
every Ultima and CRPG fans to enjoy a new story in the Ultima universe.

This is a project I have been planning for some years - as such it has
already a set story outline written from beginning to end and I've been
working on compiling a comprehensive (albeit still incomplete) design doc
explaining in what direction I want to take the game - for the time when I
would finally be able to start this project.

And that time has come. Smiley

"Return of the Serpent Isle" will be made using the Dungeon Siege engine,
and making use on the wonderful tools and systems that Team Lazarus and Team
Archon have been building over the years for their respective games and
Project Britannia.

But such a project cannot be achieved by one man - which is why I am now
looking for other dedicated fans to help me in this task and join this newly
"Team Serpent". Before offering your help, keep in mind that this is going
to be a long and hard task - and while I feel that it can be accomplished,
and that it will be worth our while. remember that it will also take a lot
of your time.

So I am basically looking for people at every post:
- Writers
- 2D Artists
- 3D Artists
- Musicians
- Worldbuilders
- Designers
- Scripters
- Coders

If you are interested in joining in - feel free to email me at
SergornDragon.TakeThisOut@gmail.com

While a good knowledge of the Ultima series (and specifically of Serpent
Isle) is obviously recommended, do not hesitate to offer your help even if
you're not an all-time Ultima expert. I hope to create a game that will
appeal to any CRPG fan, and not just Ultima fans.

If you have some example of your work to offer, please provide it as well.

So thank you everyone for your time - and for letting me post this
everywhere Cheesy

PS: FYI - the project website will be a http://sergorn.jexiste.fr. It is not
open yet and only feature a splash page, but should hopefully be ready for
early 2009.
