I'd be interested in helping out as a Modeller/Texture Artist. I'm in school at the moment for Game Design, and am a year through. I've also been modding for almost 2 years and have worked for several teams. If you are interested, please send me an email at [email protected]. Thanks!

 

[[RTM]Mobius]

Also my email is [email protected]

to be honest the player model looks cool it got a real nice style but...JESUS the monster models look like shit sorry but i realy would like to see the,m in the same style that the hero model was in and btw the villigers look like mongols lol try to fix it then some people MIGHT join

 

[[RTM]Mobius]

well thanks for the constructive critism there, if thats what we will call it. Our models do vary in quality because we only have one modeller who can do the main characters, the rest are just prop and monster guys and have less skill. An M4 rifle is easy but making anything organic these days is a pain.

And our team is currently at 12 core members. But most of us are just doing the guts of the game, again, yea, we would like to make all of our models look amazing but, to us gameplay is more important.

When we hit the polish phase, expect our early models to get reworked but unless we get 2 or 3 modellers who know what they are doing and ask any mod team around, thats a rarity.

Again to our team right now, playability and game mechanics come before models. You can have all the eye candy in the world, but without the hundreds of C++ files we have worked on, all you have is some screenshots.

as so many of you say
"Most modders would rather dress up as game developers than actually develop games..."

and RTM trys to be the type of mod that really gets work done.

Concept Artist Still needed, also taking more modelers and level designers to help us in the summer slump. Also those who talked to me about the project, those who did not continue communication im taking as a "not enought time" and will fill the postions as soon as i can.

Return To Mana is a coop RPG developed by Black Sheep Game Development. The team is comprised of industry professionals from companies such as Ubisoft, Crytech, Edios and others.

Yea I apologize Mobius. Three people just got fired at where I work so I am pretty much picking up all the slack. I'd be interested in helping you guys out in my spare time though. Maybe doing a model/texture or two a week.
