We need an artist to create simple objects and someone to build the maps. Ideally one person would do both. We don't need realistic models and animation (yet). We just need some holdplacers to stuff the maps with something (trees, rocks, buildings).
Since we're using Ogre it will be possible to create models in Google Sketchup and convert them to 'mesh', the model format used by Ogre.

The maps are built using a height map. Basically you'll have to create the heightmap and the texture for it. You'll have to use a program like Terragen or T2 (these are the ones I'm familiar with at least) to create the texture maps.

Hey we need one more programmer for Nanostorm. I've had few post around about it. In a few words it is a RTS game similar to WacraftIII/Starcraft. It will have 3D graphics and multiplayer. We are using C# for programming and probably Irrlicht for rendering(the rendering engine is not yet nailed down).

Just only some of the few questions that come to mind with these sorts of project help postings...

I expected/wanted a reply like yours.

The problem is that I've just got in contact with someone that has been working on a RTS which got abandoned after a while (http://www.shoreboundstudios.com/ not much on the site at the moment). I might agree to pick their project but at this stage I'm not sure under what conditions they would let me to do that (i.e if I can bring someone with me).

For the sake of completeness I will answer the questions.

quote:

---

Do you have artists? (both 3D and concept)
Do you have concept art to show for this game?

---

No, I was thinking the art side isn't a priority at this stage. I might have to reconsider that.

quote:

---

What size team is currently working on it?

---

So far it's me, Jake (jestermax) and Chris (which you don't know). In addition we also have someone that is giving his feedback on what we're doing.

quote:

---

What incentive would a 'fairly good programmer' have to join your group?

---

The experience of working on a promising project.

quote:

---

Are you still in design phase?

---

Yes

quote:

---

Is this really a serious project or just another "I wanna make a 733t game!"?

---

That's answered in the first post.

quote:

---

What sort of schedule/timeline are you talking about?

---

quote:

---

Is this a casual project or a bigger commitment?

---

Few months. If the projects goes off the ground we might try a shoot at retail.

quote:

---

Are there any details on this game someone could read?

---

quote:

---

Do you have anything to show for this project so far?

---

Sorry, not more than what I already posted. There is a design but I will not make it public.

quote:

---

What is the general age for the team? (is it a young or oldish team?)
What is the experiences of other team members?

---

I'm 25, Chris is 18, I forgot now how old Jake is.
I've worked on several projects including DreamCity, gFactory, Six Extinction. You know Jake, Chris is good at modeling and scripting.

quote:

---

Is there a team structure?

---

I'm designer and programmer. Jake does programming. Chris will do scripting and whatever else is needed he can do (i.e modeling).

calin: Ah cool, yeah, even just knowing the age of the team makes a big difference. As you might know there are a lot of "I wanna make a 733t game" type posts from mostly kids... Wow, I didn't realize how many projects Jake is working on.

Artists might not sound like a requirement, but you should always have someone lined up, they are illusive creatures when you need them :P hehe

I am not actually offering up my services as I've got a lot on my plate atm. Just wanted to post the usual "more detail please" post which normally comes with such a post such as this...

Wish you the best of luck..
