So you think you are the best blender python/logic brick programmer?? Want to prove it? :o
Hi, my name is Matt Carter, I’ve been a blender user for about half a year. I am a professional video game artist. You may have played the first game that I worked on Hunter: The reckoning for Xbox. I modeled and animated many of the characters in that game, including the main female characters. About now you may be wondering what’s the point? Well, here it is. I am currently working on a Blender game/demo that will showcase my abilities as an artist as well as really show off what Blender realtime is all about. And this is where you come in. This demo is a short term high paced development cycle (a week or two) I will do all the art (modeling, texturing, animating) and I need someone who can help me make it come to life. I need someone to basically do all the programming for this project which sounds like a lot and actually is. I need player controls, Keys, Switches, particle emitters(I know that technically they don’t exist but many people are faking them just fine it seems), enemy AI, smart camera, and anything else not art that is needed for today’s high tech games. The most qualified person will be able to send me various .blend files as their “demo reel” demonstrating previously mention skills. I will choose the most qualified candidate. As this is just a demo piece there will be no money involved. The only compensation is to be able to use it to showcase your own abilities. I have prepared a few early “in game” screenshots of the art I have so far as proof of my end of the deal. I can’t post the screens since I don’t have web space but I would be more than happy to send them to anyone who would like to look at them and or post them on the net for me temporarily. I probably have left something out so watch for updates to this post and feel free to ask questions. Thanks for your interest.

P.S: I hope that your attempt to revive blender as a mainstream game designing device proves fruitful( I will help out the best I can, but there are others that will probably beat the pants off of me later, as this post becomes more publicized…
Don’t get too excited about my little “project” its not going to be that special! Glad see that you are so interested in game design! That’s a really cool area of games to get into. One I know less about I have to admit! First of all, are you sure its game design you are interested in or game art or game programming? There is a big difference. At a professional level a person usually does only one of those things. A game designer does just that he designs the game play. Puzzles, level layout, where monsters spawn, all these things and more make up gameplay and its the designers job to make them fun. A designer usually doesn’t do much art, although being able to handle a 3D package to do basic level layouts is a plus I’m sure. Most designers that I have known (not a lot!) have a strong background in English. They need the ablilty to write well enough to communicate their designs and get people excited about them. Its probably a very good idea to get involved designing levels for small projects like mods and total converesions. There are a ton of them out there. Anyway I’ll have to continue this at a later point. L8R SK8R.
