That's right the forums are live. Come on over to

www.bpgame.info/jibforum

Post your suggestions for the game, but please read the directions first.

We are going to try and make this as organized as possible, and keep it as core to the heart of the Newschool world as can be. For that we need the cooperation of the NS community, and any other interested.

So please be respectful of the guidelines we set on the forums and remember we are doing this for you, not for the $.

Again please pay attention to the stickied topics on the forums to help us out. We will be relentless about deleting and banning. It would suck to get banned and not get to take part in the making of this game.

Just wanted to let everyone know we got our first donation of $5, and also our first DVD winner.

Everyone please give Mysia some props, not sure your forum name, but congrats. I sent out an e-mail to ya, will await your response.

We all owe a big thanks to Mysia for taking that first step and being the first person to put some bills towards this game outside of the studio.

Props and thanks again for taking that first step.

Frza,

You can donate by clicking the massive donation button at the top right of the forums we set up.

The plan for the budget has a few different phases, or segments to it.

1. Raise as much as we can through donations, if everyone on NS donated $1-10 we will have more then enough to make this game super legit in a short period of time.

2. Raise money through sponsors, this will take much more time seeing as we have to negotiate with each one to make sure they benefit from giving us some bills for the game.

3. Personal funding from my pocket, this will have to wait until the game I am working on currently gets our big funding push, which is planned to be this summer. If this happens I will be bringing allot more people onto the design team and push for a quick beta release open to everyone free.

Hope that answers some questions for ya. I assure you this is no hoax haha, I want this game to happen as badly as the next person. So please do donate if you can, and like I said if we get everyone on NS to donate $1-10 we will have a legit game much sooner than relying on sponsors, etc.

What about the designers? What kind of experience do they have and maybe any way possible to see some of the work that they have done.

Well,

I have worked with SoE, Turbine, Origin, and now for Galactic-Village.

I am currently the only designer on the project. Plan to add more as needed, but given how early we are in the project it's not something that is of great concern just yet.

I am spending the next few weeks banging out a draft of the design document, I will then share it with the community (after it gets the gov stamp on it that says no one can jack the ideas) and get your feedback.

Then I will do round two. After round two the game will go into early coding.

I have two coders on board at the moment both with extremely strong backgrounds in the industry.

When we get a legit site for the game profiles on all team members will be posted.

Good questions btw.

Everybody wants to make sure that we have real ski company products to be used in the game, is there any rights it violates or can we use this to raise money for the game?

Thanks bud, glad to see people are into this. donations won't be forgotten btw, we will make sure and hook up everyone who donates in some way.

Like custom skis in game or some special thing that only people who donate will have access to.

frza,

We will be able to use actual products once we go through our sponsor round of development. That's still a bit far off though.

Well if you know any companies, send them an e-mail saying you want to see them get involved.

That will help big time.

Well I plan to have a draft of the design document done before the end of June.

The the second draft shortly there after.

Then we can start coding, which will take a few months probably.

It's honestly hard to say until we have the design doc finished so we know how much code/art is going to need to be developed.

Jibij Pro Shop is on board now as well as Newschoolers. Who will be next to hop on the bandwagon to making this project happen?

If you know a company that might be interested shoot them an e-mail.

I know EC wants in, just need to figure out how we wanna work things with them.
