I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this but here it goes. I am a member of a small dev team working on a game called Sunspots : The Invasion, we are currently looking for a few extra hands, read on to find out more.
THIS IS A NON-PAYING JOB
What is Sunspots : The Invasion?
Sunspots: The Invasion is a new Star Fox styled game (rail-based shooter with a free flight mode as well) compatible with the Xbox 360 and the PC. It is the first of several planned episodes and will be released freely for PC and Xbox Live Community Arcade upon completion. Depending on the publics reception to the first episode and the quality of the final product future episodes may be made available for a small fee. It is being developed by Waterfall Studios and we expect to release the first chapter Christmas 2008.
STORY
A vile race of creatures known as the Vieras have attacked our solar system. Theyre plan to eliminate all life and use the dead planets for formation of colonies by creating hundreds of sunspots to slowly kill the sun. Thankfully mankind is ready to fight back against this alien threat. The galactic navy sends forth a full fleet to take down the invading enemy and with it a special ops group with four top of the line combat ships to take down the enemy at its source.
GAMEPLAY
Players can choose from one of the four available ships in the single-player campaign and navigate it through an unnumbered amount of levels that consist of an on-rails portion, where players fly down a set path, and a free flight portion, where players are free to navigate the environment. Players will be able to team up with a friend on or offline for co-op play. Players will also be able to go head to head in both online and split-screen versus multiplayer. Players will be able to choose from 4 different ships, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, to take down their opponents.
PLANNED FEATURES
- Play using one of 4 different ships each with their own style
- Fast paced Starfox 64 style gameplay
- Play in two styles of levels On-Rails and Free Roaming
- Play using a gamepad, X-Box controller, or keyboard
- Go online and tackle levels with a friend or play 8 player free for all fights
- Download new levels as they become available

The video showcases early online functionality as well as the game play. Please note that none of the textures shown in the video are of our own. Level textures are from reimers website.
