   Artist, Looking to join a Dev Team
  My name is Andrew YorkI am located in the US, in New England and I am looking to join a Game Dev team. my website right now is through office live, I'm new in coming back to Art, and am using a simple to use online web designer but will have my own website up and hosted to have a more personalized appeal.http://srresources.design.officelive.com/default.aspxI am hoping to join a team as a Artist, and would prefer a game that goes along with my Faith as a Christian. which means to me, light or non-magical game, but action is okay with me, but a game that focuses less on killing would be best.Please respond here if interested, or to my email at matherhorn@ymail.comI also have a few years practice at creative writing, but have no completed work. below is the first chapter of one of my stories, but is on its first draft. should be grammatically decent.The dungeons of Falsha By Andrew YorkChapter One: The EntranceThree adventurers stared at the dungeon entrance; with feelings of fear and impending suffering that are felt deep in their bones. The dungeons of Falsha have long been known to be a conduit to the dead men of the tribe of Vakalen Warriors. A tribe that relentlessly plundered the lands killed and murdered all those who opposed them. Even to look in their eyes would enrage them enough to strike you down. The dungeons are now a burial for the Vakalen.  Who walk in endless night, yearning for the day to be theirs but day is always out of reach. They fall asleep even before the very glimmer of daylight can be seen on the mountain peaks that linger off in the distance.   The three adventurers, Greenwolf Matherhorn, Grimfeather and Silverleaf enter into the dungeon, expecting to be killed as soon as they step inside. However after they enter, they make their way through a murky chamber of water. The water is high, and travel is slowed. Mud mixed with bones and old rancid smelling blood, nauseated them all.    Three; sent by the wizard Akron is the perfect amount for the task of this spell caster. The woodland scout Silverleaf, traveled in the front of the group. Silverleaf long ago was a Prince of a small Elvin kingdom. His kingdom was known for its wonderful relations to the forest creatures that dwelt there. Spending most of the day fellow shipping and working together for the good of all who live in their homeland. However the kingdom has been destroyed by the kingdom of Slamon. A Kingdom ruled by a Dark Knight named Alexander Banadin. The kingdom of Slamon once belonged to an Ally of Silverleaf, until the ally drank of the poisoned waters of the Golden River, and then became mad with greed and the wanting of power. This greed takes all men, great or small to its grave. The greed of not only wealth and power, but there want to become loved, is now a need; tormenting the soul with winning the approval of men. The Knight Alexander seized the opportunity of the old king’s corruption and killed him in the shadows of his own castle.Now the Knight Alexander reigns. However there was something unexpected when Alexander murdered the king. The king’s corruption seeped into the veins and blood of Alexander. His ways already corrupt, now became even worse.The Corrupt must be killed by the corrupt, is how one old saying in these parts go. The corruption of Alexander, who still lives and reins a large kingdom, must be stopped with a force of wickedness that can rival it.Thats were the dungeons of Falsha, which holds a dear secret comes into play. Those who search the dungeons all search for the same secret. The secret of the Armor of Chaos; legend of this armor is that it belonged to the Lord of the Vakalen, when he yielded the armor, the armor itself led him through battles, never letting him die, however close to death he was daily. Until through what seemed endless battles of the most horrifying battles he could endure, he became mighty. Those who wear the armor is a wearer of the greatest armor of war there is. But not through the same magical means, this one is more divine.There is far more trouble over head then just the Fallen King and rise of King Banadin. The waters of the Golden River have been drunk from many times in the last few years. Great men become corrupt while the unknown rise up and make a difference. Grimfeather is probably the chief of all unknown; to most he is known as Reaper; because he wields a Pole arm with great accuracy. However unlike the soldier / warrior, Greenwolf; who during his youth fought in battle; and Silverleaf who was a former prince of a kingdom and accepted by most. Grimfeather stalks the world as night, a thief who lost his senses of what is good and bad. His only will in life is to survive and on this mission with Greenwolf and Silverleaf he wonders often what has brought him here. To this place of certain death, fighting for a cause he has yet to care about. The world could pass away and all could be dead, even he himself fears nothing; not even the cold hand of death makes him shiver. Now Grimfeather finds himself walking behind Greenwolf. There steps are still slow as the waters are thick with blood and mud. What will these three travelers find, One A Elvin Prince who lost his lands, another a battle hardened warrior who lives only for the greater good of others; or a night stalker who longs to die, yet finds himself always living another day.The Dungeon that brings so many death, yet somewhere and somehow promises life. Questions emerge in the minds of all travelers. The long daunting question of whether daylight will be seen again; or will the dark underground be their final vision, and bad dream forever.   
  Hello Andrew,I'm part of a dev team working on a nonviolent, nonmagical (we use tech rather than magic to achieve a fantasy/sci-fi setting) puzzle/adventure game, Ages of Ilathid (http://ilathid.com/).  It is a 2D slideshow-style game in which the player solves puzzles in strange worlds while working to figure out the mystery of what happened in them.  If you are familiar with the classic game Myst, this game is set in the same universe (and yep, it's legal as long as we follow the terms of the company's license: http://ilathid.com/legal.php).  To get a feel for what the game will eventually be like, you can download the demo and give it a try (see link at top right: http://ilathid.com/home.php).  There are also some trailers to watch in the Gallery (I recommend #2).  I see that you have talent in concept art, modeling, and texturing.  We could use you in all three capacities, although for the moment the focus would probably be mostly on creating concept art.  The majority of work would revolve around creating cool-looking objects, buildings, interiors and scenery that could fit into the theme of each particular world.  (I.e. if the theme was "shells" you might be asked to design a tablecloth incorporating a decorative ocean motif or an oil lamp that fits inside a conch shell.) Does that sound like something that would interest you?  If you joined, you would be working primarily with one other concept artist (me!) and one other modeler.  I have some modeling experience and texturing experience, but I'm no pro at either (yet, anyway--I'm working on it!). :) You can see a few samples of my concept art here:...Well, let me know if you're interested.  I like your work, and I'd love to have you on board. :)Jennifer P.[Edited by - Jennifer_P on May 23, 2009 10:57:48 PM]
