Hi!
I have been working with various volunteers to make games for a cause. I can provide portfolio upon request.
The next game being planned makes use of AI to recognize real-life actions in an Augmented Reality interface.
We will also have a battle mechanic that will likely require networking.
I have a Unity background, this would be my first Unreal project: I project manage, write, make music and direct art.
The team will ultimately require:
Team: *means needs to be hired
2 programmers: 1 AI, 1 Game Developer*
1 Data Analyst and Manager: Help create and fine-tune points system, collect analytics and organize data management*
1 Project Manager (also makes music, writes and directs art)
1 Artist: For UI, backgrounds and game art, battles and updates*
1 Marketer: Content Creator and Community Manager*
This is an ambitious project for people who like to work on projects with meaning and cooperative work structure.
The aim is to work voluntarily to create a prototype and get used to working together, and seek funding from specific entities in order to bring the project to market.
There is a wider game ecosystem with plenty of room for exploration which means this would be the beginning of a long-term collaboration, ideally.
Platform: Mobile and AR Goggles
Ethical Concerns: We are very aware of the unethical practices driving AI and would aim to find a boutique option that is ethically-trained and does not overconsume energy. Furthermore the project is to be distinctly Carbon Negative as an end goal in order to make playing help save the planet, rather than having AI being a cause of waste and overconsumption.
Do let me know if you are interested in an exploratory chat.
