   Legend Disk game looking for 2d artist and programmer (screenshots included)
addiktiveGAMINGWe are an indie development group that was started by a range of ex-Oblivion modders.Project name:Legend Conflict disk gameBrief description:Conflict is side project part of a much bigger project called LegendRPG found at www.legendrpg.comMany elements of Legend are also present in the Conflict game.Maelor - Law of Attraction - a battlefield populated by Kyr creatures makes summoning Kyr creatures easierCharm - This covers different methods a Creature can have to prevent being attacked, and actually convince an enemy opponent to change sidesTime - Each turn causes an hour to go past, meaning the game will pass from day into night. This will affect your creatures on the battlefield, requiring careful planningConflict also has many more "advanced" featuresBonuses include % improvement to Disc stats, and well as fixed stat improvementsBonuses can be applied globally to all creaturesYou have to draw Essence cards to be able to summon creatures and some spells onto the battlefield. You have to choose carefully each turn what cards to draw. You can only draw two.Some creatures have some powerful skills, careful use of which can win or lose a battleYour starter deck (or army) is randomly chosen (within certain starter deck limits), but you can influence the deck by choosing region, day/night, and type of discs.Conflict artwork is taken from concept art and game models, as well as unique artwork just for the conflict game.Everything found in Legend will be found in Conflict. Conflict will have constantly updated content.Target aim:We plan to release the game as part of the Legend Guild, where people can donate to help the making of legend, and in return they get bonuses like wallpapers, naming their own npc, this disk game and the full gameCompensation:This is a wait and see type setup for now...we would prefer you come in wanting to make a game without expectations for payment and let payment just be a cool bonus in the end!Technology:Target system: Windows platforms for now, the game is developed on VB.netTalent needed:Primary Skill: 2D art via traditional or digital media. All work will need to be posted digitally for us to view since this is an internet based development team.Secondary Skill: Other skills as they apply, texturing, UI design, landscape design, etc..Primary Task: You will be working exclusively on disk images. Each image doesn't need to be larger then 340x340 pixels and the cards are already definedWebsite:http://www.LegendRPG.comContacts:PM, or our forums HEREPrevious Work by Team:None yet except the work on the main Legend gameAdditional Info:The story, how Conflict ties into Legend:The current modern day Disc game has evolved from the ancient Disc game from the Eilol. The modern game includes many more discs based on real life and Myths of Taos.The Eilol game itself evolved from it's tribal origins with the discovery of Maelor. The game represents Life and Maelor, and was used by the Eilol to determine leadership. The way an Eilol played determined their strengths and suitable positions would be found for them in council, research, military, etc, etc. But, it was also played by commoners, since the game is very flexable. A commoner could even decide to officially challenge leadership to a game, and if they win, the commoner would suddenly gain rank and standing. This has happened in a few rare cases, and it's always benefitted the Eilol culture by finding hidden talent.For the Eilol, it was an important tool, nowadays it's just a casual game played by most races (although the orcs shun it - who wants to play with silly discs from a defeated enemy).The lesser races encountered this game when the Eilol travelled to other regions. It was a good way of testing intelligence and passing the time.The original ancient Eilol discs were made of stone, some still exist hundreds of years later, and are collectors items.Feedback:AnyIf you are looking to expand your portfolio then pay us a visit. Each image doesn't need to be larger then 340x340 pixels and the cards are already defined and currently being implemented, just waiting for images.See the below image for WIP of various screens in Conflict.Rules of the gameWIP screens of the game:The Deck creation screenThe combat screen (heavy WIP)We look forward to hearing from you, this game will get done pretty fast, we already have over 120 disks defined (most creature disks allready have images from our concept art and models), the game is currently being coded and shouldn't take long, all we need are disk images[Edited by - Cryo_ on August 15, 2007 5:39:56 AM]
  This looks fun, will it be released on the legend website?   ;  for now it's only planned for legend guild members as a means of encouraging the creation of a fanbase, as well as help fund some different software we will use, we will probably use it to advertise for the main legend game, but we don't know the details of how we will release it yet outside of the guild   ;an update on the look of the game, the 2d artist position is still open   ;  LegendCONFLICT is looking for a programmer to code the game engine in a language of their choice.All the systems are designed and ready to be reviewed & implemented.We require someone who has knowledge of multiplayer coding, perhaps using direct IP connection and also adding sound effects/music.Ideally we would also like to include 2d animation to enrich gameplay.This should be a short project to code the main systems, with support afterwards as the number of cards (known as discs) increases.This is an indie project and so cannot offer any payment up front although there will most likely be some payment from sales.   ;  I'm the systems designer & producer for Conflict.I'm still looking for a coder. If you wish you can contact me directly via email on this link.Just to repeat all the systems and disc effects are designed and just requires a coder to bring it all together.   ;  Looks pretty. I don't like VB but it's refreshing to see VB.net used for a real game.   ;  The original post needs updating, since any language can be used now.
