Those who haven't visited the forums much lately probably noticed some slow but major changes again as well as banner slogan changes. Since the past days Omnimaga is going through a major change that will be important in its history. I am pleased to announce that the TI-85 archives are back and the front page is now the forums, the portal being now an alternate page due to non working redirection hack from Invisionfree.

And this is not the only update

Omnimaga is no longer only RPG related, it's now also a programming group as well for all calculators as well as PC. As you can see the slogan changed from "Your Calculator RPGs Headquarter v2.0" to "A New Coding Utopia Awaits". Thanks to Necro for the name idea.

Basically it's two website into one: you now have a section where you can download the best calculators RPGs in the community as well as discuss the featured ones under developpement and right under that you now have the staff project section. The current staff includes dragon__lance and necro, who are working on a joint Zelda-RPG project, CDI, who was a news editor here once, who is working on two RPG projects while bringning us Metroid on our 83+, BCturk, working on a Pirate action-RPG and Ranman, a senior member of the TI community who has been great support and currently working on a port of Ultima V classic to 68k calculators. Welcome to all those members to the team and we are working forwards for their awesome projects! :ru13z:

There are other staff that still need to be approved at the moment and we are still hiring so if you have nice projects and are willing to join send me a PM with projects you are working on and if possible screenshots of previous or current work and you might become part of our team. We accept computer, TI, Casio and HP programmers for any language!

UPDATE: Daniel Thorneycroft (tifreak8x) has been added to the team, but has been made Manager because he took the website link manager job as well whenever he has the time to work on it. He is working on a Pokémon Game and TI-City, a very massive text-based RPG based on Medieva for the TI-83+SE. Welcome to the team as well.

UPDATE (2005/12/07): Spellshaper has been added to the team.

I'd like to join too! I'm working on a nice arcade-style game for the 68k calcs in C. However, due to current lack of time I will not reveal it, as I do not want to announce a project that might take longer than expected to be completed. Perhaps I will relese it this holiday season though, a Christmas Day or New Year's relese would kick ass

Oh, and this game I'll make will be multi-platform eventually: internet via Flash, calcs via C, and GP32/GP2X via C

well considering you are alerady managers what will happen is that once you work on it again and announce it you'll get a forum for it immediately, like tenniksid493 with The chosen one.

Yea..thanx for that Kevin...it saves me having to code a webiste to host everything like screenshots and demos on

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #10 on:** December 06, 2005, 12:40:00 pm »

I might enable uploads in the future for staff but they will be periodically deleted once new updates come out because I only have 16 MB on IF forums

Ranman · « **Reply #11 on:** December 06, 2005, 01:58:00 pm »

I hope to see Dysfunction, TiFreak8x, and Spellshaper join the group if only part time.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #12 on:** December 06, 2005, 02:25:00 pm »

well its kinda part time

basically you still code for calcs but get your projects featured on front page forums instead of in individual topics or sub-forums

tifreak · « **Reply #13 on:** December 06, 2005, 02:45:00 pm »

Yeah, yeah, I am pmin now...

I still get to keep my own site, right? B)

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #14 on:** December 06, 2005, 02:48:00 pm »
