Alpha new-social MMO needs volunteers.

[fernando24691]

Hello.

I've been programming the base code of a new social MMO concept game. It has no relation with common MMO's, so I hope the novelty factor makes it attractive. The game is based on a virtual city-state, with its own laws, commerce, politics, and the possibility of modify many aspects of public life. I want it to be simple and serious at the same time.

I also want to make it as cutest as possible without making kid-graphics. I'm thinking about Final Fantasy VII-VIII pre-render system (wide perspectives, detailed backgrounds, etc.) with the 50's retro-futuristic atmosphere in which the game is based. You can apply that concept with FFXIII Arcadia city concept ,FFVIII Dilling and FFIX Treno, more or less the same thing but in 50's atmosphere: Big imperial cities with separated social areas (working area, casino, forum&politics, commerce, shopping, fun & games) and some kind of general map (like the islands maps in monkey island).

Here you have some concepts that fit in with my ideas: link1 (<- important) link2 link3

So that's the reason why I'm here. I have been programming the game for the last 4 months, and now I think it is a good moment to start the graphic part.

I'm looking for 2d/3d artists, illustrators, etc. for doing HUD work, character modelling, texturing and animation, as well as background rendering (the game is 3D with pre-rendered background, so it is "2.5D") You can take a look here (there is not much to see, only some playing features). Username is "user1","user2",...,"user9" and password is "1234" for each account.

If you have any question, send me an e-mail (fernando24691@hotmail.com).

PD: I cannot offer paid job because I'm an independant developer. I'm paying the server expenses and some more things without making any profit. I hope this project could win any prize or something like that to make it more serious. It is a team effort.
