I was recruited in to the fantasy gladiators staff as the sound team lead, I have two other people working on sound and FX in my team.
The task I set myself was environmental effects including complete multi layered weather systems, in which all aspects of the weather sounds are controllable by the software.
As well as working on the sound I got involved in some 3d work for the online documentation. Your choice of god is quite important throughout the game, it affects what your characters can and can't do, therefore quite a large section of the manual is dedicated to these deities. I rendered each god's respective symbol in 3ds Max
The team meet up regularly on the internet via IRC, unfortunately production has slowed as the team coding the 3d engine have come in to difficulties.
