Hello, my name is Robert Bates, and I am putting together a small team to work together and create a project that will act as a "demo" or "pitch" to publishers.
So I am sure you already have many questions....
Is this a paid opportunity? --- No, it is not. At least not right away. Though I may act as lead for creative and direction and would say this is overall "my" project, apart of the agreement, if you are accepted, is that you get equal ownership and rights of this project, plus any potential future royalties, at an equal percentage as every other team member, including myself.
Why might this be a good idea for me, even if I'm not getting paid? --- It is an opportunity to at least get your work more out there. I already have big name publishes interested in at least taking a look at us. And if nothing else, it is at least good experience at the end of the day.
OK. So, what is this project exactly? --- Truth is, there is multiple concepts currently on the table, however there is a specific focus. This project in lamest terms would be described as a, Fantasy, RPG, Action, Adventure, Video Game.
Who/What am I looking for? --- At the moment putting together a small team of the following,
- Lead Sound Producer
Will need original music, possible voice acting, sound effect, ect. Very important that the music adds to the atmosphere of everything.
- Lead Programmer
What I am looking for in a Programmer is someone who has the ability to program graphics, gameplay, audio, and everything else needed to have a small project at least in a good playable state. Real time or pause and go action type gameplay.
- Lead Artist
2D and/or 3D art. Any style that has a nice clean look. Will need character models for hero's and enemies as well as items and environments, ect. Very important that the world feels very atmospheric and connected seamlessly.
- Lead Writer (Story/Character)
Help flesh out and write deep interesting characters and overall arching story line. Very important to have everything make sense and connect/flow seamlessly. Key story components are already in concept.
