Sherlock: The Game is On @sherlock-thegame - Tumblr Blog

Is there any age requirement to apply for a position? Because I know Javascript, Python, and some Unity, and I would really enjoy working on the programming aspect of this project, but I am only in 9th grade.

I see now reason why you shouldn’t apply with this background!

Just saw your Not Dead post, does this mean you'll be accepting applications again?

We’re basically always accepting applications ... we’re sometimes just a bit slow about responding to them, because we’re too busy creating the game ;)

Hi there! Um, is there a age limit to apply? Thank you! (Love Everything you do!)

No, we don’t have a fixed age limit. Teenagers who are still at school, usually are less free with their time, however - due to demands of their studies and parents. And if English isn’t someones first language, they might struggle a bit communicating within an international team ... on the other hand, those things more or less apply to adults who have a day-job and family, too. So, just apply and help us as best as you can.

Is it okay to apply for multiple positions?

Of course! Many of our staff help out with different teams.

Hello! I would love to apply for being an illustrator! However, I tried several times to fill the online application process but I can't finish it - a red sign appears on the 'video editor' section. Are you accepting only people to fill such category?

Hi! Sorry, I don’t know when you asked this, but we just recently tested our application form and it seems to work fine now. However the tumblr-links yet reacts a bit oddly, so here is the direct link to the form: http://www.improbable-studios.com/apply.html ... we are very much in need for illustrators!

Can we still apply for a job to help even if theres a possibility of finding out later on that we don't have time due to work, school, etc.

You can always apply since we always need help ... in all sorts of departments. If you know you can be available only, for example, during your school holidays, that’s ok, too - but it would be kind to let us know right away, so we don’t heap loads of tasks on you, but rather smaller or fewer ones which you can manage in that time.

Hello! I applied as a writer about ten minutes ago, but I have a question. I'm doing an extra grade over summer break and I said I could put averagely around five hours of work a week, but is it okay if I don't always put in that much work? I'm a very busy person sometimes. ^^ I love the idea of this game by the way and can't wait for the release!

Thank you for your application? Did you get an answer yet? We have quite a bit of catching up to do in that department. But yes, it’s ok if the time you can spend on our project varies. We’re all volunteers and have day jobs / families / school / university etc. that demand our attention. We just ask our staff to let us know when they won’t be around for a while, so we know those people haven’t gone missing.

I just applied on your website and I took a look at the illustrations and I wept at how beautiful they are holy shit

Thank you! For which team did you apply? Since our Recruitment Manager is on break, we’re a bit behind with answering e-mails in that regard. Sorry.

I would love to work as a Catalan or Spanish translator with you people !! But somehow I can't manage to do it trough the "Apply" option...

Is just tried it and Catalan is an option in our application form just like some other Spanish variations. However, I also noticed that the tumblr-link to our application form doesn’t seem to always work properly. So you might just want to go to the form directly on our homepage, if you have trouble with that: http://www.improbable-studios.com/apply.html

When the game is released or beta testers are chosen, will they be able to record and publish videos of the game to a video sharing site (E.G: Youtube)?

Do you mean if we’ll have a build-in video-recording option? I don’t think so, but who knows what our programmers might come up with by then? However, there are tools which allow you to record games on your computer. Such videos certainly can be shared on YouTube and we’ll continue to share previews on our own YouTube channel, too.

Are you looking for beta testers yet? If so, feel free to ask! :)

Our game (or a demo) needs to be completed first, so we’re looking for people who’d like to help with that. Those people will also be allowed to do a beta test. So I’m asking: Would you like to learn how to become a Scene Director and create game scenes?

How can I sign up to be a beta tester?

Easy! Join our team and help create the game, e.g. by learning how to create game scenes ... then you can be a beta tester.

Is there an age restriction to help make the game?

No, but since you should have some spare time to invest in this game, you shouldn’t be too young since school often demands a lot of time from teenagers. And if English isn’t your first language, you should have learned enough of it to communicate with our international team sufficiently.

Hello! Are you still open for applications? I'd love to help compose tracks for the game, but I'm more of an amateur composer. Is there a certain level I should be at if I want to submit some compositions?

We can always need more help and yes, we still need a composer to create a few of our planned music tracks. Just apply and don’t forget to send a sample of what you could do. It might help if you check out our soundtrack first, so you can send in something that might fit that style.

Are you in need of any actors?

It’s a tempting idea and offer, but no - the visuals of our game game are made of pixels and illustrations, not motion capturing or even real video footage.

Will this game become reality or not...??? I mean, you people are still developing it or not. If yes, then it is taking a lot time(please speed up). And if no then please tell us so that we stop checking your blog.

This game will become reality ... unless all of us get to meet our dream boys and girls and run away with them ;) No, seriously, we’re constantly working on this project and make progress. But all of us are volunteers with full-time day-jobs or university and school or families that make demands on our time. In addition, we’re not using a ready-made games tool-box to create this, but it’s all made by ourselves. Thank you for sticking with us till now and I hope you’ll continue to do so! Perhaps you’d even like to join the team and help, so that we can work faster?

So in this game will the Player play as their own character, Sherlock, John, or alternate between the BBC characters?

Similar to the books and the tv-series, the story will mostly be told from John’s POV - but Sherlock, Mrs Hudson, Greg Lestrade, Mycroft and loads of other people will be there, too, of course.
