Makina Studios looking for 3D and 2D artists

[Saryia]

Atris Productions is a game development studio which aims to make free games that are fun to play using the latest technology. The team spans worldwide and works completely voluntary on a non-profit basis.

We are currently in early development of our first game. A 3rd Person Fantasy MMORPG with a hint of Sci-Fi called "The Aether Chronicles". For the development of this game we are in need of:

- Conceptual artists (Characters, environments, structures)
- Modellers with experience in modelling and animating Quake 3 characters
- Level mappers
- Experienced Skinners
- Texture artistst (for all other textures)
- Animators

Some early character design has already been done. here are some examples:

The job will be completely voluntary and non- paying though full credit will be given. In the case profit is being made from the game after it's release you will share in it.

[Saryia]

yes, these are his
and no, we don't have screenshots yet..
We are in early development but we hope to have a Tech Demo out this spring.
The terrain engine is almost finished so that's good news. as for the 3D Game engine, we are using the free NeoEngine. It's still quite young but looks very promising

The job will be completely voluntary and non- paying though full credit will be given.

I've seen and been though enough of these types of unpaid projects to know that they rarely, if ever, actually lead to a finished product.

Which leads me to my next question: why would someone work for you for free, when they could be working for themselves for free?

Nice concept art, though.

[Emperor]

Why someone would work for free? How about the fun of it? I concider 3D as a hobby of mine and would gladly be involved in a project like this.

Erm I'm pretty skilled in world buiding and texturing at a low polygon level base. I do it for a living as well. I'll send u some screenies of stuff I have done both low and high poly. Have done my share of characters as well but wouldn call myself that good at texturin characters. Land, rock and stuff like that I can provide.
Animation skills are so and so. Mostly game based. I do pretty decent movement cycles like walk and run sneak etc. San do battle moves as well but wouldnt dare say i could pull off superfancy complicated attack combos.

Either way I'll be in touch very soon...this looks good.

[Jason-Lavoie]

Hmm Dub id o not think you have done a lot of resaerch dude, this game is big, i have actually been watching it for about a year i think, these guys rock.

Hey Emperor, i was just reading your thing and i liked it, your an all around dude, he he he, and you know that fun is the MAIN key to making games and what not.

Ha ha i wish yuo all good luck, and Emperor, if this doesn't work out, i am sure the team of TC will love to have you help us out, he heh e, anyways ROCK ON!

We would gladly have you join us.
However, not for Legends Of Saryia. The whole team has fired the so called "project lead" because he wasn't open to any new ideas and he wanted everything (especially on the programming side) done his way.

Nothing about the game has changed though. Just the game title which is now "The Aether Chronicles". We took all the work which was done and formed our own group and already got more work done than we ever did with Saryia.

The website isn't up yet (should be any day now though), but you can already join the forums.
http://www.aether-chronicles.com/forums/


The email address for you to send your samples to is now macmaster@quicknet.nl

hopet to hear from you soon

[Emperor]

Great thanx. As long as its what I saw on the old webbie its fine by me hehehe. Most impressive stuff I must say. however it turns out it will be fun to do.

And at what point did I say that i have no skill?
(now it might be true but i would never say something like that about myself). :cool:

[Jason-Lavoie]

Sry, no ambition, how about that, check it:

"can i just join and do absolutely nothing?Coz at this point of my life i just feel ike joining something like a motorcycle gang or a rock band or whateva :]

i did tell that "I do know how to model n stuff" didn't I ?

Obviously i know "something" about 3d being a senior member with a crazy post count :cool:
And i just changed my mind about not doing anything and being lazy.

[Saryia]

For the soon to be released Tech Demo we really need a model of our halfling.

http://atris.sourceforge.net/images/concepts/male_halfling.jpg

No more than 3500 polygons (including clothing and hair)
Clothing should be seperate meshes.

Kikimora already started on it..but he had a serious computer crash and lost all his data.

Is any one up to it?

[Jason-Lavoie]
