Previous Work:
Before we decided to make a game, Dustin and I (John) were in the modding scenes of several games. Dustin was heavily involved for years in the SOCOM community working on many mods and eventually becoming a tester on H: Hour. Dustin also has been a modder in the ARMA community and with games like DayZ. I have been working on modding since the days of Warcraft 3. I also used to help one of my WoW guildmates run his MUD (multi-user dungeon) and script questing algorithms with him and talk about it.

Hello! My name is Chris Miranda and I’m an Environmental Artist looking for work in the industry. I’ve been an artist for roughly six years and counting (roughly four years of learning the software/s and dabbling, two years taking it seriously and working in studios). Like Stellarbe, all my previous projects are royalty so this would be a very exciting position to have.
Skills:
Experience using Substance Painter, working with tile-able textures and individual prop textures.
Six years experience in Blender. Including asset creation on the smaller scale (tools, weapons, props) to bigger scale (houses, environments).
Four years experience in Unreal Engine, mainly on the art side of things.
Roughly eight years Photoshop experience. Able to easily combine workflows between Photoshop and substance to create unique textures for any given asset.
Hi, my name is Hugh and I am interested in you Lead Environment Position. I have been working in the industry for 7 years and I feel I could be a great addition to your team. I have specifically been working in Unreal Engine 4 since they released.
I look forward to speaking with you more about your project and how I can add to your team!
Hello, my name is Jarrad and I believe I’m what you’re looking for as a Technical Director - though I’d like to work VERY closely with whoever becomes your Lead Designer. I myself am a hybrid between the two. I’m profusely skilled in C++ programming (~8 years) and I’ve been working with Unreal Engine 4 since the moment it became free for use. I’m experienced with pipeline systems on an extensive list of Valve games, as well as Grand Theft Auto - not to mention Unreal Engine 4. Though I do not have any shipped games at this very moment, I have been developing my own social VR platform game since I started utilizing Unreal. My game is to be released VERY soon - a hybrid between Garry’s Mod and Second Life. My game has required me to learn Unreal Engine 4’s pipeline tools like the back of my own hand. I’ve experimented with UE4’s physics, AI, multi-threading, blueprint/c++ UI, sound and 3d mesh rendering - and I learn more every day. One of the things I really enjoy is making this game engine do what the average person believes it cannot!
My names Sebastian and Im a concept artist. I tend to focus on creature and character design. I would love to be a part of the project if there is any room for me.

My name is Christopher Bandura. I am interested in your Lead Designer/Designer roles. I have enough free time alongside my university education to consider full time positions.
So far I have 2 years of proper game dev experience being trained by industry veterans that have a minimal of 10 years of industry experience, and whilst in university I learn daily through project based learning.
I would love to hear from you to set up an interview of some sort so you can properly test my skills in the above subjects and get to know me as a person.
