Hypergames2K8 Overview
HyperGames 2k8 is a team comprised of dedicated individuals, aspiring to become a full development team at a point in the future. As of 2008, we have many projects in planning, and two total conversion mods in production - Might and Magic Warlords (a fan-made installment and tribute to Ubisoft's acclaimed Might and Magic series), and Crayville Asylum: Horror Stories (an ambitious modding project based in the survival horror genre).
The team is happy to recruit new members. While naturally there is no pay as of now (as we currently work solely on mods for games which already exist), anybody willing to work is entitled and welcome to join - doing so is an opportunity to expand one's portfolio, and not much experience is needed at first, as part of the team's current purpose focuses around teaching others how to make mods and software based on a multitude of game engines.
