New 3D Game Project: AresEd, looking for artists

jorrit · 13-10-2011, 09:08 AM

Hi all,

I'm the author of Crystal Space and CEL and I'm in the process of starting a new game (+editor) project. The project is called Ares (and the editor AresEd).

The first focus of this project is to make an editor. You can compare this editor to editors as used by other games like Fallout3 and Oblivion. In this video blog entry you can see a demonstration on how it currently works. Note that this editor is not finished but it is already doing some nice things: ares_demonstration.mpg - YouTube

The second part of this project is to work on the game logic. Most work for this has already been done. The remaining task is to put things together and work on some of the missing features. You can see a demonstration on the CEL entity system (which is going to be used by this project) here: AresTechDemo.avi - YouTube

The third part of this project is to make an actual game. There are some ideas about this but everything is open. Also the idea is that this editor+game logic will be very general and generic so that you can make a lot of different games with it. The ability to mod games will also be very important.

And of course, all this is Open Source and Free Software. I'm looking for a number of people to help me with this. I need developers but I know I'm not going to find those here :-) But ofcourse I will also need artists. For 3D and animation artists I prefer people that can work with Blender as we have very good support for converting blender models to Crystal Space. But also 2D and sound artists are needed.

One of the most important features that I need is motivated people! I think that this is a really exciting new project and I hope that the people that will help me with this are equally motivated.

Thanks!

I remade my first video blog entry on Ares with better video capture software:

Have fun watching!

And I'm still hiring :-)
