VOTI is always looking for people with no programming, music or graphical skills so we can take the mick out of them. However, if you can stick a few LDMIA's together, drum up a decent beat on DSYM, or wield your mouse as though the very ghost of (some Italian painter) had possesed your body, then drop us a line at the below address. (Or if you can program, write music, or draw.)
Owain Cole, Chris Wymark,

We also have our own World Wide Web site:
http:\\www.aston.ac.uk\~preecedj\voti.html
Most of our software is available from this web site! (Or will be anyway...)
If you've got an amazing idea for a game or util that U'd like to see made, then drop us a line too giving vivid details, and we'll steal your idea! (Ok, we won't but if it's any good, we'll consider writting it.)
Oh yeah, if you do write, then don't expect a reply too quick 'cos both me an Owain are slackers and so we need to take time to relax before lifting up the keyboard again to type out a couple of lines. If you want any software, or anything to be returned then send a disc for us to reply on too. Please format it to the required format first ie ADFS800K or 1.6Mg, and use a suitable label for the name cos otherwise it'll get lost.
I have a 13Mb, RiscPC 610, so if you want anything tested on a nice high powered machine then send it along with a fiver, or something, and I'll test it for you
Look out for my next game, and others bits of software....
