Hello,
We are looking for talented people to join our team. In particular:

  - be able to produce high quality concepts that are actually useful for 3d artists (at first general concepts outlining the idea, then detailed turnarounds, you have to be able to finish what you've started)
  - be open to conctructive criticism
  - be creative and eager to submit own ideas that work well with our vision, be active and participate in shaping our new world

We are working on story driven FPS game which is taking place in near future. To some point we are open to suggestions and new ideas, so you have plenty of artistic freedom. For more informations send us an email at flippedbox [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com. You will receive test task(s) that will prove you're man of actions, not words. This project is unpaid, so far we don't have much funds but we are decided to put commitment into it and will continue this long journey. All of the roles require highly motivated spirits that are willing to put lot of effort in this project and also good communication skills are essential.



Target systems: PC/Windows
Gameplay type: single player (maybe at some point we'll consider multiplayer, but so far we're focusing on SP)

What we use:

• own inhouse engine and level editor (it already uses normal maps, so sculpting hipoly models and baking them to lowpoly with normal maps will be a plus),
• shared dropbox account,
• private forum,
• library of existing assets (still growing).

You will be asked to sign an NDA after completing test task(s) and before entering our team (over 18's only).

Current team members:

• 1 x project coordinator, programmer, from time to time 2d/3d artist, other things
• 1 x programmer
• 6 x concept artist
• 1 x lead 3d artist/modeller
• 6 x 3d artist/modeller
• 2 x sound designer/musician

What you gain:

• experience
• you can use your works on portfolio (assets not breaching NDA, ie plot unrelated)
• be part of fun and original project (your name will me mentioned in credits)
• possible future compensation when project gets successful (we have in mind several funding scenarios)

Thanks for looking,
Henry K.

Bumping with my doodles from photoshop (using mouse!) based on some internet photos (I'M NOT AN ATRIST!).

Small update in description. Also bump with one of our concepts.

[kosob]

Below one of the props made by me (WIP). Having environmental artists would be a big help and it would speed up the whole process.

[kosob]

Bumping with another concept. Right now we're making props for first level. Our 3d artists are doing fantastic work.
