RPG Seeking Manitoba interests
by Edward · in Jobs · 08/31/2008 (2:17 pm) · 3 replies
Greetings My name is Edward Moyer,
I am the lead producer of a RPG indevelopment called Fantasci: Hidden War. For those that are not familiar with the IP, its a multi-genre 1st/3rd person Open World RPG.
We have developed 90% of the assets and programming already to progress out of the alpha state. We have had a large issue with turn over and this left several items unfinished as well as needing polish.
We are one of the few teams that has maintained a regular blog and updates here at GG. We offer paid contracts but are looking for long term team players that have the time and interest in Fantasci to make wrap up Fantasci and help make it the IP that it is shine.
With school starting many of the summer folks no longer have time to commit to the team and its progression. So we are looking to reconstitute the team with folks that look at Fantasci with more then a passing glance. We have heard from several folks, how the project is too large. Too hard, and too time consuming. This wouldnt be a issue if folks would sit and review all the material at hand.
While its not a requirement, I am looking particular for interest by anyone that might be in Manitoba, as we have had some recent interest by another local studio. But we are covering our bases and looking for more commited folks.
Currently the team consists of myself and a part time artist (who is in college) Our current programmer, has had very little time to commit to Fantasci, despite being paid and nudging. Real life and other commitments have interferred with our milestones.
Heres our resume.
www.fantascihiddenwar.com We have been up for almost a year.

15 months of weekly blogging from a contest we recently quit due to lack of management and commitment by the contest host.
We also have a full comic in production by Ian Sokoliski, check his bio

How many folks here have a comic to promote their game build, by a professional? Heres the first 5 pages of the promotional version.
and what do we need a artist for? To take the load off our college bound artist as well as help clean up some of the alpha art.
Go ahead check our photoshop and media pages (on the website)

Now lets pretend I am a startup, nobody that has a idea. Id say this is a pretty solid list of items and the background to back it up. Now how did I accomplish this feat? With persiverance and honesty.
I am looking for a person or persons that can fill the qualifications of a programmer, must have C++ knowledge, and a AFX licence.
I am also looking for a artist that has some prior experience with DTS and possible DIFs.
Both jobs depend on a interview and the amount of pay depends on the level of commitment the person(s) bring to the table. As with most indie projects, these things come out of my pocket, and I dont get paid for anything, but believe in always sharing my good fortune.
Thank you for dropping by this lengthy call for help.

Torque Owner Infinitum3D
I have 3D art skills in item creation as .dts and building creation as .dif
I am NOT a professional artist, but I offer my services at no charge. I would like to be a contributing member of an art team, rather than the only artist.
If you'd like my help, just let me know what items or buildings you need and I'll see what I can do.
