This is for now an UNPAID project, that will lead to a side/key project that is ROYALTY based.
Project: Unique Arena FPS Game (Stylized Low-Poly)
Positions Available: UE5 Coder, Animator, 3D Artist (characters + environments)
The UE5 Coder should be proficient in Unreal 5 coding… ‘Intermediate’ knowledge should be okay…
Animator should be proficient and as again, ‘intermediate’ knowledge is fine…
3D Artist; you should be proficient in using Blender 4+ and also have capacity to do stylized art on low poly models.
The Games Vision: This game is and will be inspired by games such as Unreal Tournament AND Quake Live/Quake Arena/etc. BUT will also have it’s own unique take on the genre. (basically, taking the best from varying games and even adding on some NEW fresh ideas to the genre)
My hope is that through having a small team, we can consistently stick to a shared goal and motivation to accomplish our goals.
The first game will be a F2P fully fleshed out Arena FPS Game. But the catch is, one(or a few!) very special game mode(s) will be locked behind a paywall, and it will be in the form of a separate game; BUT, both clients should have access to the F2P versions game modes and servers.
This is all a conscious decision I am making based on a couple of things… A) I want to release a FREE game to start, to limit expectation and to leave the initial ‘stepping stones’ as HOBBY ONLY.
B) I want to offer something FREE to the wider Arena FPS gaming community - hopefully maximizing player intake in the beginning.
The Second Project[ROYALTY]: This project will as I have said; have a special gamemode or game modes… It will branch out from the first project and all/most of its assets and the team will ONLY THEN begin to LOOK towards a ROALTY. (i’m keeping expectations balanced)… I do plan on a 1/4th ROYALTY each, providing workload is very similar among all working on the project.
I currently plan on a very inexpensive price tag, leaning on a ‘popular’ game mode, or game modes… Ideas are: Battle Royale, Large Open World Conquest (similar to BF series) & Looter Shooter…
Notes: Please keep in mind, the core foundation of Arena FPS gaming will never leave; even with these ‘special’ game modes in mind… And OH, I have some great ideas for a POSSIBLE Battle Royale, that ties in perfectly with the genre…
Also, keep in mind, this is an old project revived, and, I want to start fresh (we were only two weeks in) … So, we would be reviewing art direction in the beginning as a team. As far as vision for the gameplay I do have a fairly concrete concept already from the past project… But if my vision aligns with yours, then that is what I am looking for…
I am yet to do several things to show my vision to others and to create the GIT project, etc. But don’t let that stop you from joining if you are very interested… I am simply doing this as a FIRST PRIORITY task as I need to KNOW I have others to work with before I can even consider this project for myself…
