A place for employers, project leaders etc to post if they are looking for people to assist with an Ogre-based project. Please only post in this area if you have a _serious_ project proposition for which you already have something to show for.

Shadow Universe is recruting [updated 09.06.2010]

Post by EaglePryde »

Team name:
We don't have a special one. We go after our Projects Name

Project name:
Shadow Universe

Brief description:
Our goal is to create a 4X Space Game that is inspired by Master of Orion and Space Empires V. We want to make a true 4X Space Game with the only difference that it will be in Realtime. It shall feature LAN and direct IP connection Multiplayer and heavy modding capability in XML.

Target aim:
We aim at a Retail release when the Project is finished.

Compensation:
If the Project get's sold the outcome will be split, depending on the time each Team member has worked on the Project.

Technology:
C++ is our language of choice. We will use XML for modding capability and are building the Game using the open source OGRE 3D Engine.


Talent needed:
We are primarily looking for additional coders and 2D Artists. Optional 3D Artists could be also taken. Just ask us..we don't bite :)

Team structure:
We have 3 coders with an experience of up to nearly 20 Years. We habe 1 2D Artist 2 3D Artists and 1 2D/3D Artist that has has worked in a Game Company. I'm the CEO, Sys Admin regarding every piece of Software that is running on our own Server and i do the jobs that need to be done or where we need an additional hand. Nanny for everything :) *just kidding*

Contacts:
eaglepryde@hotmail.com

Previous Work by Team:
This is our first Project as a Team. Some of our members have a nice portfolio. I'm sure they will gladly show it to you but will be added to their Profiles on our Forum in the Future.

Additional Info:
Because the Project is in early stages (detailed planing) and i just finished to build the whole Server Architecture for our Project, we can't show of much atm.
Here are some early Renders.

Feedback:
For Application leave us detailed Infos about what you can do. You will then be contacted by one of our Team Leaders or Specialists.

Mandatory is good Teamwork. We work as a Team and succeed as a Team. Everyone is willing to help if needed.

UPDATE:

Since the beginning we have upgraded our Team and are pretty well established. We have a decent number of 2D/3D Artists and coders. Some of them allready had some experience in game companys. We are still looking for 1-2 coders that are familiar with the OGRE Engine and have some good experience with it.

Hey,
I'm very interested in becoming a 2D design/developer. I work best with design, but I do o.k. texture-ing. Unfortunately, my computer crashed recently, so I don't have much to show you (I made up a quick Google page to show some of my work). Besides doing 2d, I can do some basic 3d. But, what I really excel at is movies. I am extremely good at making promo vids, intro vids (like logos), update and gameplay vids. I used to be a strong member at the toribash community, and would get paid big bucks (fake money of course) to make texture sets, clan pics *2D&3D*, and movies. I also used to/still do help out on another project called Underworld Hockey Club (link: http://www.underworldhockeyclub.com/cms/). Unfortuently, I have become bored with the lack off work to do. You can check out the gameplay vid (that I made) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77EguuGRCW4
Also, I am admin at that site, so I have some experience there.

Programs I work in:
Adobe Photoshop *Pro*
Adobe Aftereffcts *Pro*
Autodesk 3ds Max *meh*
Blender *if needed*

I'm not much of a programmer btw.

Check out my site for other work. It's not the my best, but it's all I can find atm:
