[size=2] [size=2]Company Name: Forsaken Studios [size=2]Project name: Embers of Caerus [size=2]Brief description: [size=2]We are developing a next-generation Sandbox MMORPG of an epic scale. We cannot currently discuss specifics of the features we have planned until an NDA is signed, but for information on the vision of the project, please read our Creative Directors vision. [size=2]The Vision [size=2]The team was started by a group of individually skilled professionals who met through various MMORPG games and and communities over the last decade. The team shared two things, passion for the genre, and a view that while other MMORPGs have had great vision, none of them have actually managed to hit the mark with the right balance of features and content to promote a full and healthy sandbox game. [size=2]The lore and backstory for the game has been in development by Rob Steele (creative director, and author) over the last few years, and is based on his latest novel with its associated notes. This has since been expanded and adapted to fit an MMORPG sandbox setting, and include extra depth and diversity where needed. [size=2]Currently we have a very active community that is interested in our game, and it's development, and we need more talent to achieve our current goals. [size=2]Target aim: [size=2]Retail - We have a projected 4-5 year development, and business plan, leading to the retail release of our game. [size=2]Compensation: [size=2]Through donations of our fans (650+), and personal investment, we have just recently purchased a 6 month license on the Havok Vision Engine. [size=2]The entire team (currently 50+) has been working on a voluntary basis (many working full time) to develop their passion for what we are doing, and the opportunity this project provides. [size=2]After our 6 month license is over, we will be presenting our results, and our business, and development plans to several currently interested investors. [size=2]Investment will be secured, and at that point anyone who has been committed to the project, will be invited out to the Texas office and offered a wage to work full time on the project. [size=2]Technology: [size=2]We are developing for the PC market solely, and we are working with the Havok Vision 8 engine from Trinigy, along with other third party packages (e.g. Speedtree 5 etc). [size=2]The artists are currently working with Maya, 3DS max, Zbrush, Photoshop, Blender and world building using vForge. [size=2]The coders are using visual studio 2010, and vForge script editing tools. [size=2]Programming talent needed: [size=2]Programmers to join the coding team: [size=2] AI programmer - knowledge of C++ and AI techniques required, LUA script desirable [size=2] Graphics programmers - knowledge of programming shaders etc required (HLSL), C++ desirable [size=2] Core/network/feature programmers - C++ required, C# and LUA script desirable [size=2]Artist talent needed: 3D Artist - (Needs zbrush/mudbox, UV and texturing skills) Comic Strip Artist Shader Artist [size=2]All applicants will be subject to an interview/skill test, and will be required to sign an NDA to commence work on the project. [size=2]Team structure: [size=2]Creative Director - Rob Steele [size=2]Project Manager - Nick West (ex-director EA Europe) [size=2]Art Director - Lee Perkins [size=2]Technical Director/Lead Programmer - David Belcher [size=2]Audio Lead - Miles Hancock [size=2]Current team size[size=2]- 54 [size=2]Website: [size=2]Game Site - http://www.embersofcaerus.com [size=2]Company Site - http://www.forsakenstudios.com [size=2]Contacts: [size=2]Programmers contact - davebelcher (at) forsakenstudios.com [size=2]Artists/Modellers/Animators contact Lee Perkins - leeperkins (at) forsakenstudios.com [size=2]Also feel free to fill in a reply to this post when you have sent an e-mail.

While this os all fine and dandy you must realize that putting the same mmo on the market full of close will not work. Just a piece of advice, go for the sandbox type.

Im a little confused by the comment, but the last part about the sandbox you mentioned = We are making a real sandbox and no theme park game.

Thanks

Hello again all.
[/font]

[color=#4F4F4F][font=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]

I am looking for a very talented animator, one that would be considered a lead animator at a company.
[/font]

[color=#4F4F4F][font=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]

I have a couple of talented animators right now but I am still looking for that 'special' talent.
[/font]

[color=#4F4F4F][font=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]

I am looking to make a few contacts now for when we are ready to hire full time, so if you know anyone who is exceptional and who has worked in the industry at a high level then please do send them my way.
[/font]
[color=#4F4F4F][font=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]

A US based animator would be best so we don't have any issues with visa problems. But if not in the US I would still be interested in speaking to them.
