The official site for theAmazon is http://whatistheamazon.com/. If you would like to join development of our heists, join the forums and ask to be a developer. We are about halfway through the development of our first heist.

AriX beat me to posting. Oh well. To have developer access, first join the forum, and contact an admin (or me and I'll lead you in the right direction). Although the admins will probably add you as developer as you join.

Also, remember:

- When you join, you are, obviously, subject to spoilers.
- You don't have to have any particular skill in anything. Ideas are just important as design and programming talent.
- Have fun. smile

Very nice Design on the website. Really. smile

But just a note on the graphics, The Amazon Forest is a Rainforest. Which is very different from what you portray in your site.

Not that it really matters, just something that you might want to know.

Yes we know, we decided that the forest didn't have to look like the amazon.

ideas != programming talent.  It's a team effort and you utilise people's strengths. That would be why Adam does graphics and Scott does site code and why Phill or John or any single person doesn't just do everything.

Scratch that; as per Noah, we are 90% done.

(I would link to the thread at The Amazon forums where he actually states that, but I'm lazy. tongue)

Just need to double check the code, and write the briefing.

Then, it is up to you to decide what happens next.
