Neotokyo Recruiting Sound Engineer and Enviromental Texture Artist

[Grey]

Hi

We're looking to fill a couple of positions on our team. We're looking for people for who are >20 years old and located in North America - but if you think you think your awesome fit otherwise feel free to apply.

Sound Engineer:
Applicants need to have the right tools and skills to work on environmental sounds, foot steps, FX, etc. The ability to be able to create sounds for, and foley to, 1st person weapon animations is required. Having examples to provide to us may be difficult so we'll probably provide a test to the right applicants.

Environmental Texture Artist:
Will focus on creating textures for our level designers by creating construction sets and more specific textures for levels on demand. Applicants for this position should have an online portfolio we can look at.

If one of these positions sound like you email me at [email protected]

Thanks

Can I ask why you are so specific about applicants being >20 and in North America? That seems rather arbitrary to me (although you probably have an excellent reason).

I was guessing it was to do with the audio part of the post, maybe voice overs or something.

Well both of the loose requirements are related to how we work as a team. The age issue - 80% of the team is over 30, and the youngest is ~22. I know as well as anybody maturity isn't concretely linked with age though. As far as being located in North America, when I orginally started the mod we had members all over the world(Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, etc) and for various reasons it didn't work and the team has filtered down to being almost all Americans. I don't know whether it's a time zone issue or something cultural. Beats me hehe.

Any way - the number one thing we're looking for is talent , but if a person can't work with us as part of the team, all the talent in the world isn't going to help much ;( .

that seems kinda off to me, and oh yeah be good if your team replyed to e-mails. :|

ukfilmer the above was def. not ment to insult any one. When did you email me? Send it again, our hosting company has moved us to different servers a couple of times and it could have been lost in that funny business, or maybe spam assassin killed it :O

We're all in this together and its great to see other mods that have hope in their future with solid progression/vision. Good luck with the recruitments.

"neoshock vs. neotokyo" could be fun

 

[Grey]

We're competing with Neoshock? Heh that's funny. I really don't know much about your mod but I think our closest competitor genre-wise would be Corporate Anarachy, and even that's a jump. But I digress, lets keep this thread on-topic. The two positions are still open .

I dont know if i'm what you're looking for.. I don't really make textures that often [i design websites] and i definitely don't meet your age requirement [i'm 15, people usually think im much older if i dont tell them though] but I feel that i might be able to do work for you.

Try giving me an example of something you'd want a texture for then i'll try and make it.

I can't really fill any of those positions but I like your mod a lot so can I be on the credits anyway? I can...ah...make everyone cookies and be moral support.
