[Mod] Aurora : Maximum Space is seeking!

[sebi3110]

Welcome to our new ScFi mod Aurora - Maximum Space a singeplayer total conversion mod for the best looking game till now, crysis!


Storyline

It's the 21st November 2138: Despite many attempts, the political situation in the world did not really improve. Since 2050 again there is a Cold War between the NATO and the UAP (United Asia Pact), an alliance between Russia and China.
This led to a renewed rush into space. All over the world scientists were developing new engines and weapons. When the NATO sent out a space probe with a hyperspace drive 2078, the UAP had no chance to get ahead in space anymore. The NATO advanced furthermore by sending out more probes and spaceships. A highlight in this development was the discovery of ozone in the atmosphere of a planet in the alpha centauri system, which is about 4 and a half lightyears away.
Since Ozone is considered as assured sign for a breathable atmosphere, the NATO sent out a mission, to examine the suitability for settlement.
By now this colony is inhabited by about 2000 civilians and 500 soldiers. So far, it seemed that the planet was only inhabited by bacterias, fishes and early amphibians.
But the first impression wasn´t true. Today at 2´o´ clock middle european time a SOS arrived at the NATO headquarter. The entire colony was overrun and all resistance was destroyed.
A few survivors could send out a SOS, before they had to flee to the mountains.
The NATO administration didn't hesitate and sent out the Aurora, their most modern spaceship, to rescue the survivors.
Equipped with the most modern and powerful weapons, the cold war has created, the crew had to face a completely unkown threat.

I would be interested in the role of Character animator, i have been animating for about 2 years now, and have been involved in some less fortunate mod groups.

Send me a mail at: atle (at) animatle.com. And i can send you my demoreel and we can talk some more!

Just a recommendation as a fellow mod developer, push your 3d artists into learning how to unwrap and texture. Its something that will be required on them in the industry, unless they are just hobbyists. I mentioned this because you currently have a lot of untextured models. We even have a policy on our team where generally a modellers chances of getting on the team are pretty slim if they can't or aren't actively looking to push there own abilities.

@complx email sent, thanks for your offer

@IchII3D That's easy to say.Yeah your just right though, but the most in our team only want to make this mod as their hobby. But the best would be a "master" in skinnig, who can teach some of us a bit and give them clues etc.

[sebi3110]

Ok we're still in need for an animator.
complx- has no time for our mod

[sebi3110]
