Runescape & Bots

[sugar_cookie]

I was fighting bears for a low level Slayer assignment to skill my low Range up around a nice mining pit and there were two bots doing the typical iron mining.

After I finished I decided to pick up some ore hehe.



Here I am next to one of the dudes. He's level 110 out of 138. :P Running from the bank to the ore and picking up a full load of 28 iron ore, teleporting back near the bank, getting there and depositing it took me about 100 seconds haha. I got 500 ore in hardly any time and never had to pause waiting for him to drop some! But I'm starting to fall asleep so I had to stop.

Bots are totally useful at times. :P

Oh and iron ore has skyrocketed in the past week. It was around 120-125 each and the price had increased to 170 when I last looked yesterday. :P So I got about 85,000 gp worth doing this! HAHAHA!

Actually you know what? I think I'm going to get a second cup of coffee and try to keep going. :P (no I haven't been up all night, I wake up earlier than most people and I dunno why I'm sleepy.)

Want to be IN a computer game?

I want your face! Yes, YOURS!

Want to be in a computer game?

I'm making a computer game, and I need a lot of photographs of people.

I need young people, old people, middle-aged people, children, babies -- every age group. I need all races and ethnicities. I need a few pretty people, a hell of a lot of ordinary-looking people, and some fairly unattractive people.

In other words, I need YOU!

My game is set in the US, but the thing about the US is that people from all over the world have moved here and made this place their home. So no matter where you live now or what you look like, someone in America looks a lot like you. Plus, the game will be set in a university town, so in addition to American citizens, the game will also have some characters who are foreign students studying abroad. Really, no matter what you look like, I can use you!

I'm a beginning independent game developer, and I have NO budget, so unfortunately, I can't pay you. IF I manage to finish the game, and IF it meets my standards once it's done, I MIGHT try to sell it for around $5. But it's possible that I won't manage to finish the project or that I'll decide that it isn't good enough to release as anything but freeware, possibly even that it isn't good enough to release at all. And even if I finish it, like it, and try to sell it, it's extremely, overwhelmingly probable that no one will buy it or that I'll sell a handful of copies for a tiny amount, because that's what happens to most indie games. If I, myself, make a penny per hour for my work, I'll be surprised.

BUT, if I use your picture, I'll give you a free version of the game if/when it's released. I wish I could offer more, but unfortunately, I haven't GOT more. But I figure that by giving you a game, I'm giving you the right to call yourself a professional model. If you got paid (even if just in a game that costs $5), then you're a pro, right? :-)

Pictures might be used as is, but it's quite likely that they'll be comicified, like this:

If you're willing to let me use your picture, I'll need you to sign a Model's Release, which will basically say that you know that I intend to use this picture in a computer game, and that's okay, you signed up for that.

If you'd like to be in the game, then please see this page for details.

So, want to be in a computer game?
