Game info:- Third-person 3D action-adventure game (with some RPG elements)
- Set in a fantasy world ruled by the competing forces of Light and Dark, which continue to consume vast areas of the world.
- The Light symbolizes certainty and knowledge. On the surface, the realm of Light appears to be a peaceful, tranquil place, full of fluffy bunnies and pretty meadows, but like most supposedly utopian societies, it comes at a price: anything that doesn't fit (predators, foreigners, new ideas, et cetera) is eradicated by the Lightbringers, the human inhabitants altered by the Light's magic. They worship the Light as an all-knowing god, and have made it their mission to destroy anything that threatens the Light's perfection.
- The Darkness symbolizes the unknown, the untameable, the eternal mystery. The realm of Darkness is a dangerous swampland full of predators, and most people avoid it like the plague. But to the Malhela, humans altered by the Darkness, it is a land of beauty, wonder, and life. For what meaning does life have unless it can be snatched away in the blink of an eye? To the Malhela, nothing is ever certain, and nothing can be taken for granted. They worship the Darkness as the embodiment of all of life. A mysterious god that can never be fully understood.
- The Lightbringers and the Malhela have been at war for centuries, each side viewing the other as a direct threat to their god.
- You play as a Malhela and a Lightbringer, working together in search of the forbidden Tree of Knowledge--an omniscient tree which will reveal the answer to any questions you ask. Whoever possesses the Tree has access to every secret in the universe, which makes it a commonly-sought item amongst those who lust for power. Our heroes seek only to answer their own personal questions, but their quest will lead them to far deeper and troubling truths.
Team info:We're a small team (currently a designer, a programmer+writer+business-guy (myself), and another programmer) looking to add an artist or two to complete our initial team (we'll add additional members if necessary once things are bit further along). All of us are working on the project part-time while pursuing degrees or working other jobs to support ourselves.
What we need:Full creative design from concept work to finished product, including concept art, modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, et cetera. (Note that we're looking for two artists, so if there's something you're not as good at, we'll make sure the other artist can handle that part).
Contact:Email me at dpiros @ comcast . net with a link to your portfolio so I can see what you've done.
Technology:Use whatever software you want for content creation. The game uses our own cross-platform (Linux, OS X, and Windows) game creation system, currently in development.
