Graphic Designer Wanted (VG)

[Theiket]

Theiket, you'll have to be much, much clearer on what you want done.

Ok. I will explain a little here. I need all the graphics done. Building, weapons, characters, foes, vehicles.
We will do some basic modelling soon. We are in the base of doing part of the storyline.

That is not what we meant, soulx. That is a cartoon made on paint. We need a 3D model preferably to base it off then a 2D picture for the game.
Whoah, whoah... 3D models? You're talking multi-hundred to thousand dollar programs and multi-thousand dollar machines. You aren't going to get much of anything from anybody for free.

QUOTE(AaronUzumaki @ Sep 30 2011, 11:30 PM) If I find free time, I could revamp character or weapon designs, but, as an artist, I can't design them myself for use in a project that isn't at least half mine. (Of course as a payed employee, it is different.) Just e-mail me the designs and I will see what I can do. (PM me for e-mail and attach only JPEG, BMP, PNG, or PSD format images please.)

This is great news for us. I will see if we can do some basic designs on weaponry. We do not know about the characters as of yet. I'll keep you posted.

So long as it is just 2D designs I'm improving, you have my support (not full, but still some) as I love to see someone's ideas come together. I am capable of 3D design, but without a large team, nothing could ever happen to really put together an entire game (or even an entire character) Maybe weapons (maybe!), but that's it.

Realisation has dawned.

Exactly why I told him to start with a 2D game rather then a 3D one...
I told him I can help with the logo and menus.

 

[AaronUzumaki]

I'd have to agree. If he just made a REALLY good flash, or 2D freeware game, he could maybe get a publisher to pay for him to make a high-profile, high-budget game eventually, but unless he is ungodly rich, it is not going to come to light anytime soon.

 

[Gahars]

Yeah, you really aren't offering much in the way of incentives for anyone actually interested. Also, it really seems, Andrew, that you're a bit over your head with this proposed game. It seems unlikely that you'll get farther than a quarter of the way through development.

You might want to seriously scale back your efforts. Make a few small games as practice. Offer it online, maybe enter it into some indie game competitions. Eventually, you may get lucky and get the attention of a professional publisher/developer.

Yeah, that will take awhile, but that's how it goes. To make it, you have to pay your dues, so to speak.

 

[Forstride]

Okay, so let's see...You want someone to create all of the graphics for a game that you've given very little detail on, 3D graphics at that, and on top of that, you expect them to do it for free? Ahaha, good luck with that.

I'd be able to help if they were 2D, but 3D isn't my "specialty." Then again, I don't really have a specialty...I'm just decent with spriting/texturing.

 

[Theiket]

Ok, I've been reading the posts. You all know that I am a little ecentric with my plans. But, this is an idea for later in the future, not right now. I will get some of m friends to see if they can draw up somd 2D models and if you guys can render them realistic for us, for the folder we have for the game for later on. But, I will get to work on some basic games and we're working on the storyline for the game we're making. We'll work on getting some games into competitions. Keep us posted on any competitions.

There's a difference between eccentric and simply planning beyond your means.

In the meantime, you may want to post more of an outline for your story so people know what they hypothetically would be working with.

Ok. We are making a first person shooter, before the apocalypse, with huge aliens and little aliens, many kinds of weapons, many quests, and you have to complete quests to unlock new quest areas to travel to in this game. Is that an outline basic enough? Coz I'm seriously not sure what you meant by that.

That's not really an outline, simply what's in it. See, the thing is based on the information you've posted throughout the thread the project is still very vague and we (the readers) know very little about it..

Bingo.

What is your story about? Just saying that it takes place in the future and has aliens tells us nothing (and before the apocalypse? Like, a biblical apocalypse or a man made one? World of difference right there).

For example, Star Wars, Aliens, and Star Trek, just to name a few of the top of my head, take place in the future (or in SW's case, a futuristic universe) and feature aliens, but tell vastly different stories.

Well this is basicaly what me but moslty Paarish are trying to tell him, he has vague ideas of quests but has nothing where the story is concerned

So basically borderlands with a generic overused plot?

Seriously though, a project like this is... well, unless you want it to look like an obvious amateur project, you're really going to have to pay people to do this kind of work.
Sure, you might consider yourself an eccentric, but as cruel as this sounds: its a pointless to want graphic designers this early in its life cycle >_>;
I would really recommend fleshing out your plot, story, and concepts first before actually trying to make the game.

 

[Theiket]

Ok. To respond to all the posts since my lastest one, we have some of the story done, when I say some, I mean we have like two characters names and we have no idea what they look like. And to the Borderlands with an overused plot line, I haven't played that game, so I wouldn't know anything about it. But away from that is the fact that we're working on the story line as I write this, but we don't have all the people who are helping create this game in the meeting. I'll get back to you guys as soon as I get at least why the Apoc. is happening, right now, I only know that it's man made.

You crossed out his text... oh snap? That's really not much of a rebuttal.

And Andrew, it really doesn't seem like you have a story at all. Characters are more than just names, and settings are more than just explosions and bad things happening. Also, if there are aliens, that implies that space travel is available. If that's so, then who cares about the apocalypse; why wouldn't people just pack up and head to another planet?

It seems like you are trying to bend a narrative around a vague premise, and that's just a recipe for disaster. If you want something that will actually be good and stick with people, you're going to have to go all the way back to the drawing board (not to mention that the size and scope of this project is obviously way beyond your means).

 

[Theiket]

Gahars, you've probably been the most helpful person on this topic right now. I'll book a meeting with the guys and see what we can do.
