Hello,
My name is Robert Bonner and I am a Graphic Designer, Web Developer & Video Game Producer. Over the last eight months I have designed a video game from the ground up being an utterly revolutionary Real-Time Strategy that will reinvent what it is to play a video game, although ambitious I know exactly what I’m talking about. There’s one problem: I don’t have a publisher or development team. I have several close friends that have been in the industry doing mod’s for various engines, some of which being Valve’s Half-Life 2 Source Engine, developers from Black Mesa Source and various other modifications interested in assisting me. At the moment I am trying to get some character models put together for showcasing when I pitch the idea to a publisher, so I am requesting some assistance from the Z-Brush community to help me make some models from concept art.
If everything goes well, and I can get some investors and publishers assisting me with my idea and funding so development can take place, this may be a major well paying job opportunity. I have the name Copyrighted and the game’s concept notarized so the concept itself and name is protected under federal law, however all of that is worthless when development hasn’t even taken place yet. I am looking to change that, and I am willing to take several people on board if I see portfolio’s that fit the design scheme I have in mind.
When designing the model and making its skin keep in mind that it is ABSOLUTELY imperative that the model is extremely realistic, in the RTS there isn’t magic elves or orcs involved. The game is centered on a realistic depiction of how life was back in 741 A.D. so you won’t find warlocks or wizards anywhere. In the game there are four playable races: The Nordic, Celtic, Irish and Vampiric. The model that I would like created is of a ‘Vampiric Breacher’, a shadowy infantry soldier that is completely decked out with weapons and equipment. Vampiric Breachers have 10 throwing knives, a Folk’Tu-Rach (Folk’Tu-Rach is the fighting style for the Vampiric, martial arts and ancient guerilla warfare in short; very evasive, tactical and unorthodox style of fighting) one handed curved sword, two to four long stilettos and an imported Japanese Katana as the primary weapon. Their armor is high-density leather composite with interwoven steel plating sewn into the cuirass. At the moment I do not have leg armor, however if someone can come up with something very unique to work as the leg armor it will help me decide if you’re worth bringing onto the team.
The Vampiric race is my interpretation of what people thought wood elves were in ancient times. Also due to their tall muscular and pale complexity I thought that it would be neat to add a vampire like twist onto things, even though they aren’t actually vampires; far from it actually.
I do not know if this is the correct section to add this, but I thought I would come onto this website and give it a thought; I’ve seen some absolutely nerve racking phenomenal work done from the community here and I would honestly love to bring a couple people onto my development team if they can show themselves worthy. So please present to me your online portfolio as well as some attempts on making the model, and I will check back here whenever someone replies and react accordingly. If all else fails, you will have gained a very nice portfolio piece and I hope that I have been some inspiration to you.
Thanks,
-Robert B.
PS: I have about 65 pages worth of game concepts written up, as well as the full balanced game mechanics written out on top of about 25 new genre forming features that the game will include; so there is a TON of work to be done and anyone that believes they can contribute to the operation is more than welcome to do so. At the moment I’m looking for a full development team, publishers and investors. If you are an investor or know a company that may be interested in funding us let me know and I swear to god I’ll bake you cookies. Thanks again!
