Title: Game Development (Big Pictures)
Post by: GreggBz on July 13, 2006, 03:50:04 PM: Fellow Amiga Fans, Would anyone here like to help a small indie game devlopment team? Not meaning to solicit, but this is a fairly small project for fun.

The project is Windows (.NET which is a great development environment) and freeware.

It's a Sci-Fi RPG based on the likes of Starflight and Starcontrol.

What we need is an Artist.
Simple 3d meshes for planet side life.
The meshes need to be in DirectX .X format. Milkshape, 3ds Max, will do.
Homepage (http://www.outerspacecrew.net/)
Life Form Descriptions (http://www.outerspacecrew.net/LifeForms.html) there are about 25 life forms needed.

Mail me at brzozowskig (AT) adelphia.net if you are interested.

Here are some screenies:

Just curious, what .Net language are you using?

Post by: GreggBz on July 14, 2006, 01:31:21 PM: The game is done in VB.NET with the DirectX 9.0 SDK. Currently, it's about 90 pages of source code.

Here's a video from a build a couple of months ago.

Though game programming goes against the rules of business app programming, lol...

I would need them to commit to 5 to 10 hours a week though.

Throwing the odd bone to someone willing to give hints has, in my experience been more managerial trouble than it's worth. (No offense ;-))

Right now it's myself and another developer.
The design is pretty modular. There's enough to do, if you're willing to give it a try let me know!
