[Wanted] Modeller/Animator for a sports simulation

Evbevmagevbof — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:25:09 GMT

Hey,

I'm currently developing a simulation of Ireland's national sport - hurling. I have an engine almost complete with lighting, shadows, animation etc...

The team currently consists of:
Evan (me) - Engine programmer / Project Manager.
Jacob - 3D Modeller/Animator.
Mike - Music and Sfx composer.
Alexis - A.I. programmer.
Rica - A.I. programmer.

As this type of game has only been done once (poorly), you will get invaluable experience at modelling and animating for this unique sport.

One thing to note: I am passionate about this project and it will finish, I'm not like most other project leaders who sit back and wait as everybody else works, while writing design docs or some crap. As you can see a lot of my time has been invested in the engine, and i hope to continue this.

We are using a project management site - huddle - to communicate and organise tasks for each person so no one gets lost.

Current animation :
http://screencastle.com/watch/238b29270c8dfa125f6bc1b09453bf06 (done by Jacob)

Compensation has not yet been decided, though I am willing to profit share.

Please contact me if interested: evbevmagevbof(at)gmail(dot)com

Evan.

(Wanted) 2d Artist - Hobby Project.

sjohnson243 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:32:04 GMT

Hi guys, currently myself and another programmer are working on a small game project to just get started to put a project out and see if we are able to deploy our first XBox game. While we have the ability to do all the programming we need for the game, neither of us have any sort of artistic talent. We will need a few spritesheets, and some backgrounds made - this is not a really graphics intensive project and it will only need a limited number of sprites. If we are able to get the art for the game, we estimate we can have the project complete in 4-6 weeks. We both have a full time, and are working on the game in our spare time, and while not expecting to get rich, if we manage to get the game completely deployed and can make a little cash off of our first project all the better - if there is any money made from the project we are willing to split the profit 3 ways between us and hopefully work on one of the other more ambitious projects we have designed.

Anyway - for a artist, I cant imagine that what we are looking for will take much time, we just are not able to really do it ourselves.

Thanks for the read all. :)

Wanted - some simple 3D objects: space ship and some asteroids

Scott Tunstall 2 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:00:15 GMT

I'm well into my journey into 3D but I find I can't get low poly, textured objects I require at the right scale. I've been to Turbosquid but there's not a set of objects that suit my needs.

I'm thinking of writing a game where you can fly inbetween asteroids and shoot your mate(s), "Tie-fighter" game style, but I really don't have much time to learn 3D Studio Max or Blender to create the objects (my last 3D editing was in Oxygen for Op Flashpoint) so I'm going to ask you guys if you can help.

I would like a spaceship, preferably an "X-Wing" type (don't ask me why, I just like that kind) and some asteroids at various sizes. All 3D models should be to scale (ie: no huge spaceships and tiny asteroids), and in FBX format. The models don't need to be fantastic or refined, I just need them as "proof of concept".

If you can help me do this, I'll help the community by publishing whatever I write as source code to help XNA newbies, because 3D can be overwhelming when you don't come from a math background - I just need something to get me kicked off.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

by Boviosoft

Hi,

Just wanted to say that it's been great to work with Tim, he has made a great work for my coming iPhone game (see: www.boviosoft.com) and I do greatly recommend his services to anyone, his rate is also very reasonable for the work.

Regards.

Having just worked with Tim I can highly recommend his services. I got a couple of great tunes very quickly for a reasonable price that will really make a big difference to my next game.

Cheers,

Dave

After searching high and low for musicians to compose music tracks for our new game we came across Tim, and Whoah I'm glad we found him! Tim is a video game music composing prodigy. He knows the genre inside out and his work is up their with the classics. You won't find any lowest common denominator stuff here, instead you'll find intricate melodies with multi-part harmonies as well as call and response counterpoints. He's also a really nice guy. I'm pretty sure he could make the Green Hill Zone sound like it was composed by Bach with a smattering of Handel mixed with Masato Nakamura if he wanted! We needed eight distinct tracks for inclusion in a casual game we are developing for the iPhone. The process was very simple - we just told Tim what kind of music we wanted and a little bit about the game. He concepted each tracks and submitted them to us for review. We chose the ones we liked best and then he extended each of those to full four minute tracks. The final result that arrived in a matter of three days was unbelievable in terms of quality and creativity. Have no second thoughts hiring him now before he gets snapped up by EA!

Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you soon.

[WANTED] 2D Artist/Animator for side-scrolling RPG

Taranissss — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:20:11 GMT

Hello!
I'm a postgraduate student in electronic engineering and I program in C++ for work. I've learned C# in the spare time, and I've partially developed a videogame with XNA that I'd like to publish.
I'm searching for someone with good drawing capabilities to help me out, since, at the moment, I feel a bit stuck and really need a push to go on. I've done some music, but I'm realizing that graphics are something that I cannot produce in a way that can fit satisfactorily in this game.

Project details:
The game is a 2D fantasy side-scrolling RPG with a certain quantity of puzzle elements. Right now, the story outline is completed, the level detail - as a concept - is 30% and I'd give an optimistic 50% to game mechanics code. What I'd like to do, is to get a fully playable version in more or less a year, considering that I'm working on it during my free time. This means that I won't stress anybody with strict deadlines, or I may let two weeks pass because of study/work issues.

What I estimate for now is:
- a dozen "active" characters (with animations of moving, attacking, jumping, ecc..)
- a few "still" characters (with a fixed animation or that just walks)
- 30-40 backgrounds with 1-3 layers of variable dimensions
- items
- other game graphics (such as menu, inventory)
- eventually, effects

Creativity is appreciated.

Compensation:
What I can offer is, if the project makes a go, a percentage of the income depending on its success. As I'd like it to be a good looking game, I'm prepared to share up to half the earnings, but for this first project I prefer putting a capped 50%, meaning that, for example, if the total income is 500, you gain 250, if the cap is 1000 and the total is 2000 or more, you always gain 1000. The starting numbers will be dealt on the base of the experience and ability of the person, but, as I said, if the game has a good outcome or the person demonstrates to be valid, the cap can surely rise. If more than one person is needed to do all the work, this part of earnings will be divided proportionally on the base of the work done.

For any question about it, you can contact me at: taranissss@yahoo.it

[WANTED]Localization help for French, Italian, German and Spanish.

Foley — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:59:53 GMT

Developer: Wobbly Tooth.
Game: Along Came A Spider.

My game is nearing completion but I would like to translate fifty-seven phrases or words such as "Select", "Back", "Unock Full Game" etc into French, Italian, German and Spanish. I read some threads where people said they would rather help translate games than see badly translated games on the system so I thought I would ask for help first rather than attempt to translate it myself. If you can help please get in touch (wobbly_tooth (AT) hotmail (DOT) com). There is no credit page in the game so you would just be doing this for fun, I don't think it would take that long as the game text is quit simple, mostly standard game text such as "New Game", "Options" etc.

Thanks.

OFFERED inexperienced programmer looking for hobby project to help on

Mordavian — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:56:31 GMT

I am currently learning C# (for my job) and Java (for my schooling) and want to help out on a hobby game project to further my knowledge in a direction more suited to my personal interests. I have a very firm grasp of basic (and some advanced) programming topics. I have done the 2D tutorial here on creators studio, bud don't feel comfortable enough yet to do an entire project on my own. I learn rather quick and have no problem researching how to do things (as long as it is reasonable). Researching how to do the entire game would be a bit much. Interested send me a message.
