Hello,
I’m currently looking for someone to partner with to learn things together. At the moment, I am writing a story for my game (a horror/survival co-op), but it’s quite far off in terms of actually being able to put it together in the engine; so I’m not really focusing on that right now. I’m just trying to inch my way towards it, learning what I can in the process (for instance, I modeled a door and managed to get it to open with an animation by pressing “E” when near it). It may not seem like a lot but I was happy that I managed to do even that. I’ve been putting a few hours in every/other day and get a little bit more experience each time, but I’ve been wanting someone to basically bounce ideas off of and share experience with. If there was someone else there, I’d feel more inclined to practice full-time rather than just “when I get that urge.”
At the moment, I can’t say that I have many skills because I haven’t been challenged with anything (and challenging myself is hard at times), but I am a decent modeler when it comes to Maya. I haven’t gotten to a point where I know exactly what I want to specialize in, but I do know that modeling has been something I’ve had no trouble with thus far. For me, it’s unfortunately hard to gain motivation when I’m working alone since there’s no one to show what I’ve just accomplished or to get feedback from (of course there is the forums, but still…:D). It doesn’t matter what your skillset is (or also if you don’t know what you want to focus on either), I don’t mind sharing what I know to help.
Just for everyone to understand, this isn’t a thread to get people to join my development team for this game, but rather looking for someone that just wants to learn the ins-and-outs of multiple subjects/programs (or try to anyway) and most of all have fun doing it. My only “requirement” is that you’re able to speak -or more like type - English well. I live in the U.S. I’m not trying to meet in person or anything at this point, and am fine with just partnering over the computer. If anyone is interested or would like more information first, just let me know with a reply or a PM, thanks!
