We''re still ata point that we could switch to C++, but since my knowledge concerning that language is extremely limited, I would need several programmers that really know what they''re doing. I''m someone who understands programming well, so communications aren''t a problem, but I never really used C++, so even though I''m going to polish up my skills in that area, I wouldn''t be able to code with it myself.

But since we don''t have any lead programmer yet it wouldn''t hurt to look for some C++ programmers.

SLOW DOWN..

Models, textures and sound (done by artists) are extremely end-phase.. Untill you have the engine near complete with all functions and whatever you can (and should for several reasons) just use dummies.. So what if the ubahleet dragon looks like shit? how does that hinder you from actually developing and completing the vitals of the game?

This way you won''t have your artists idling 1.5 year while your programmers make and complete the engine so that you can start with the touch-ups.. Second of all you''ll probably get alot better artists if you by having a near-complete game can show them that you''re serious and it looks good..

In other words.. Come back when you''re a few months from completion.

Personally I feel that is a really bad idea. for several reason but the main one is that what if there is only 1 or 2 modelers? that leaves only a short amount of time to get ALL the models up to snuff and ready for their place in the game. If the modelers and the original designer are on different sides of the world it could take sever tries of working, sending, writing for changes, working, sending, writing for changes, back and forth for just one model. therefor waiting til a few months from completion could actually make the game take longer to release.

Ive been on several projects like this, i do _NOT_ reccomend doing it. I left these projects and dont work on them unless I have creative-control over everything that I do (so i design models/textures how i want them to look, within reason ofcourse).
