Hi,

We over at www.blackdragonmod.com are making a Half Life 2 Mod called, you guessed it "Black Dragon".
We're currently looking for Modellers, Mappers and Animators in helping to bring this mod alive.

Black Dragon is a single player modification with an immersing story that grows with the character. Resource management techniques are implemented. These are tied into the story so tightly that at no time will the player feel burdened by this.

Large scale battles in huge, lush environments. You will feel overwhelmed, but you will have control. With the help of high end AI available from the Source Engine, there will be dynamic results to battles. Each result will be reflected as the game progresses.
The only way to lose is to die. If your side loses a battle you accept the consequences and move on to the next mission.
Each action by the player is tallied. Honorable actions will result in raise of rank as well as other benefits. Going against your orders will have the opposite effect.

No previous experience is required in modding for a game, but we would like to see any work you've produced for whatever position you're applying for.

To give you more insight into the story behind Black Dragon here's a section of the backstory:

"The beginning of 2030 saw the world at a very turbulent time. Countries were at each other's throats and the world economy was falling drastically. With the UN disappearing by 2040, countries made their own alliances. Largely based on landmass, two main governments were created. One was the mixture of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia (Joint Eastern Confederation). The other was comprised of the North and South America, as well as Antarctica (Unity Coalition). This division of the world only spread more flames and eventually triggered what became known as World War III. As it was predicted, the third of the world wars would be the most costly. The launch of four separate nuclear missiles, two by each side, meant the death of 30% of the world's population. Not only did a harsh nuclear winter follow, but certain areas of the globe became unable to support life for hundreds of years.


After this catastrophe some common ground was achieved between the two parties. A treaty was signed which established that no more wars will be fought on Earth. This was the agreement that forever established Earth as a neutral ground.

By the year 2120, humanity began to rebuild itself. The populations were rising again and advances in science were continuing to make life better for everyone. The limited space gave birth to the use of “Mega Cities”, which were layered vertically, rather then horizontally. Additionally, a better understanding of solar energy allowed humans to harness the power of the Sun more efficiently then ever. "

With your name, the position you want to fill and a link or an attachment to a sample of your work.

Thank you
 
Just wanting to update -

We're also looking for some texture artists.
 
Your site is porffesionally designed...

I am only a music compoaser, so I am no help here :o...
 
Well any help is greatfully accepted. I've only mentioned the jobs that need filling ASAP.
 
I see... Then I will send you some samples after sending mine to another mod.
 
i can do choreographed scenes if you have all the animations and sound files needed.
 
Unfortunetaly we don't yet have all the models, sound effects and maps ready.

Our Sound guy is working on some sound effects and musical scores now. (btw Sorry Danimal I didn't realise we had one working full time)

What we could use is some more level designers as I read in your profile that your occupation is "Level Designer".

We also need some more modelers and a LOT more mappers. You can never have too many mappers!
 
Update on the positions:

We've got a few modelers now but more are greatly welcomed to join. What we're really in a bind for are more mappers and texture artists. Animators are also required but for now since our modelers are currently working on some designs we won't be needing any for possibly a week or two. So if there are any animators out there thinking about or wanting to join a mod, then please give some thought into joining our mod. Your skills and presence will be greatly appreciated.

More info for the modeling positions is we're seeking a Lead Modeler to head up the assigning of tasks to the other modelers. Those modelers that are with us are extremly time consumed and can only give us enough time for performing the assignments issued to them. Anyone willing to fill in this position is more than welcomed aboard, although it is requested you show some previous work you've produced in the past.

As for the mappers we're in need of quite a few to help create some of our main maps to start with. Again it would be helpful if you could supply a sample of work you've produced in the past to show your current level of skill, since our project is aiming for things that could quite possibly take the Half Life 2 Engine to its limits.

Thanks for taking the time to read.
