[INDIE] FPS seeking a character modeller

lazalong · 07-15-2008, 02:50 AM

We dropped the requirement: "Only for Australian".

Team Name
TBA

Project Name
---

Brief Description
The project is under Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
so the description shall be vague.

The project is a fps/infiltration game.

Our main goal is to produce a proof of concept in 4-5 months which would enable us to seek funding for a second phase.

The solo game is similar to Hitman, the networked game to the Rainbow serie.

The Game Engine has been in casual development for the last 2 years.

Target Aim
Commercial

All job seeker must be willing to sign an NDA (Non disclosure agreement)

Compensation
None until funding is secured.
All the work will be noted and future payments shall be based on the material produced.
Depending on the funding either full time or freelance jobs will be available.

Technology

Game Engine - OGE - Open Game Engine (www.opengameengine.org - Home)
Modeling - Our engine uses the .mesh format that is default on Ogre3d. But it is easy to get any work out of Maya, 3dsMax or just about any 3d software.
Animation - MOCAP bvh format. Other format must be integrated in the tool chain.
