   Assyria - Single Player RPG -  Seeks concept artists.
  We are seeking 3/4 concept artists to aid us in the design of a new game Assyria.Team name:noneProject name: AssyriaBrief description:AimThe main aim of this game is going to provide a deeply rich storyline that engulfs the people into the land of Assyria. To provide a technologically advanced spell system and richly detailed environment. We want to be realistic in our goals, it is therefore a single player game. Our initial thoughs are to use Ogre 3d along with a "game engine" plugin for it however it's still very early on so designing the game is our current focus.What is the game?We are trying to create a truly new type of game. Our first thought was a fantasy, however we quickly decided that too many had been done. Out second thought was a Shadow Run (fantasy / sci-fi mix). This idea developed and we decided to include some global issues in with the plot.Where does the game take place?The world of Assyria is a magical place that has many different types of people.  The individual tribes have found there own unique ways to adapt to the environment that they have been in for thousands of years.  The world itself is very expansive and has many different environmental areas that help provide to the culture of the different tribes.What is the main focus?The basic plot is that there is a furitistic city surrounded by jungle. The city containes fururistic man, whilst the jungle has tribes of primitive man in.The two had lived side by side for centuries without any problems until one day the tribal people’s holy site was destroyed. The technological people within the city were blamed. A war is waged between the tribal people and those in the technological city. Fighting goes on and almost all of the tribal city members die however they severely weaken the Tec cities defences (all die except for a few, including the main character). It is later found out that the holy site was not destroyed by the people of the Tec City, but by a secret underground criminal organisation based below the city. The criminal organisations aim was to weaken the city, using the tribal city so that the criminals could take control of the city. It is then the main characters job to seek revenge on those within the criminal organisation… The final battle reveals that the criminal leader was the original Tribal leader who had fakes his own death in order to create a new identity, with which he can gain control of the technological city and the jungle surrounding…What’s different?This game integrates an extensive story line in with a action based third person perspective. It has a completely unique fighting and spell system. General FeaturesHighly detailed world.Extensive storyline.Multiple side quests.Custom fighting and spell system.Target aim:Free or commercial - Really dependant on the quality of the game...Compensation:Dependant on wether it's commercial or not royalties may be paid... If it goes commercial then royalties will be given.Technology:Thinking about using Ogre 3D + a game engine plugin but still choosing really... If a programmer applies then his input in choice of game engine would help alot.Talent needed:Designers / WritersOne programmer3/4 Concept artistsTeam structure:Myself (Adam)and 2 concept artists (larsony and David)Website:None at the moment but i'm workign on it...Contacts:Adamgreen@f2s.comFeedback:Any.Anyway thats the basics, we are looking for designers, a c++ programmer and concept artists to help in the developemnt of the training level.Requirments:Concept ArtistYou should be determined, and willing to re draw concepts and improve on them.

Ive joined 8 projects so far, all have had un dedicated project leaders and have failed... The only way to prevent that is to start building a game managed by both myself and the other dedicated designers I know. I will not allow this project to fail (put simply)...[Edited by - Hilm on May 8, 2006 12:24:22 PM];  Why not rise to a management position and become leader of an interesting project?  What are your talents, BTW?   ;errrrrrrrrrr well as i's not managment i want, it's to create a good game? Once the designes are done I will be going back into my normal role as a modeler, only helping manage the project when needed. The point is I will know that the people incharge of the project (myself, robert and others) are dedicated enough to actually finish the project and not give up half way through...Edit : We are still after an additional deisngner and programmer to help on the project.[Edited by - Hilm on May 9, 2006 11:56:45 AM];  Hi there, I'm a relatively skilled drawer and have some modeling experience. Writing is my main skill and since you were looking for a designer, and I was looking for a fantasdy/sci-fi blend project to join I wondered if you'd be interested...oh, I should probably make a portfoölio of some sort...I'll just go and draw then :)   ;  It's just taht I hate doing useless work...which I forgot to mention earlier   ;Quote:Original post by BreodianHi there, I'm a relatively skilled drawer and have some modeling experience.

Is there any bits of your writing i can read through?Your ability to draw should also be alot of help as it will allow you to explain your ideas visually which again will aid us in the design.Yeah so if you could just e-mail a few paragraphs of some of your best writing work to Apteke@hotmail.com along with an example of your drawing (just like one example will do, just so I am aware of your skill in drawing).Thanks.[Edited by - Hilm on May 11, 2006 1:07:34 AM];  *Deleted previousIf anyone is interested please e-mail me AdamGreen@f2s.com[Edited by - Hilm on June 3, 2006 8:27:44 PM];  hi Hilm,  If your who i think you are, i thought you were with imagin entertainment, as a concept artist.
