   Space Cowboys - looking for talent
  I just want to begin by stating this is a CASUAL project, myself and the other programmer have important life issues going on and we cant give endless hours to the project. That said it would be perfect for people in the same position!!Project name: Space CowboysBrief description:Space Cowboys is a 3D top down shoot-em up set in space. This is an action game that can be played against friends or the computer. The player will control a space ship and is required to fly around space stealing oxygen tanks from others for survival. With a massive arsenal the player can congure up black holes, electic fences or even drunk-ifiers!!Target aim:FreewareCompensation:Unfortunately i'm not in a position to offer money for this so it would need to be done for free. I would like to think this project will be fun and educational.Technology:Platform: PCGraphics: OpenGL and GLSLWindowing: SFMLAudio: SFMLNetworking: SFMLSome of the game design will be done using UML. The plan is to experiment with different AI's and graohics then use UML to design the full system. Once we have the design sorted we can then allocate coding duties.Talent needed:This project isn't going to be massive and we're not planning on implementing any groundbreaking technology either. That said here's some roles we would like to add:Game designer: We have started a very simple game document but we would like someone on the team who can flesh this out to assist the developers.Programmer: A general programmer will be fine, as I said this is nothing groundbreaking so anyone who can reduce the workload for me and the other programmer would be great.Artist: It would be nice to get an artist onboard for the UI and also some 3D models. We do plan on using some free models from turbosquid so a 3D artist isn't necessary.Team structure:Currently its myself and another programmer involved. We both have very general programming skills but we're capable of creating a game. My friend has his own website with examples of his ability:http://www.bloodfromastone.co.uk/games.htmlWebsite:We are investigating this as well as an online repository so that all developers have access to the latest code. We will also be source controlling the code via subversion (TortoiseSvn).Contacts:Please contact me via this website.Previous Work by Team:noneAdditional Info:Each player is given a base and 3 oxygen tanks to defend. A player wins the game by going to each enemy base in-turn and dragging an enemy’s tank back to their own base. However, whilst the player is away stealing other people’s stash, he’s also leaving his base open for attack. To make the game more challenging, power-ups will appear that can be used to help defend a player’s base or destroy an enemy’s defenses.We have ideas on how to implement AI, graphics etc. but nothing has been set in stone yet. If you feel like you would like to get involved please feel free to contact me!Feedback:ANY
