These are just a few examples of what you will see in this title.

Premise
The basic premise of the game is a tactical military warfare theme set in the future. If you've seen films like Black Hawk Down and The Thin Red Line then you'll know the kind of military feel we mean. The Sci-fi element plays a vital role in the game as the underling visual impact. Our game will have a truly unique visual style, the scope of which has never been attempted before.

The story will be fairly dark compared to other games. There will be plenty of interesting characters and plot twists to keep the player hooked in a world raped by cataclysmic natural disaster. There are various political Agendas at play, resulting in an increasingly evolving threat of global war.

You play a member of an elite tactical unit originally brought in to investigate the events that lead up to the beginning of the story. You soon learn that the precursor of the disaster was not solely down to mother nature.

As the story progresses you'll learn the real truth behind the disaster and play a vital role in bringing the offenders to justice, simultaneously ending the war.
There are several factions of enemy throughout the story, each having their own reasons to win the fight.

Our focus is to opt for colder, more subtle content and effects over outrageous, O.T.T. futuristic technology that you might expect in a standard sci-fi concept.
Through the use of intense atmosphere, emotional storylines and explosive action this tactical, realistic but unorthodox title will be unlike any game ever made before.

when you say experienced you mean industry expereinced im guesing

[LukeHatton]

Hi there,
Experience could come from working within Mods or even own projects - but you must be able to show a good solid understanding of your chosen field and a real passion towards it. Obviously any industry experience is a great bonus.

We know how big companies always ask for 2-3 years industry experience and since we are indipendant, we are primarily looking for people with, perhaps, advanced knowledge in a particular software application, a full and impressive portfolio of work or past game projects or modification experience.
As long as you are talented, a team player and enthusiastic we want to hear from you!

This project looks really awesome.

Hm...seeing it is futuristic and you don't really have reference for futuristic soldiers. I would be interested in Concept art if you ever needed some.
