Seeking help for an MLP 3D game

[Rocket Punk 476]

Hi guys!

 

Well, I am currently searching help to make a project I really want to do since I went on the series, and as I'm not good at programming and all that jazz, I need YOUR help.

 

I am working on a 3D pony model, as you might know, which is nearly done, and I finally decided what I would do it. As there are many pony model for SFM, I thought it was irrelevant to make pony 3D movies. And then I downloaded some old Sonic games and thought about the time when I played Ocarina of Time. And then : IDEEEEEAAAAA !  (as Rarity would say) Why wouldn't I create a 3D MLP adventure game, which could resemble to both the Sonic Adventure games and the Zelda 3D games? (Well, I have several game ideas, and I didn't decide which one I'd begin with).

 

I'm an amateur 3D modeler and animator (but some friends of mine said I had a really good level, I don't know if they were right), working on Blender 2.7x

 

I should need

• another 3D modeler (because even if I have nearly finished my 3D model, there are plenty of other things to do): Rocket Punk, Corvus Hooves, NuclearBurg
• another 3D animator: Rocket Punk, Corvus Hooves, NuclearBurg
• one or two programmers (cause I am really bad at programming as I said before; I don't know which engine I could use, but I think Unity or Ogre could be a good choice):  Corvus Hooves, Rocket Punk, NuclearBurg
• a couple of writers who I may help as I write stories on my free time: Rocket Punk, AmberDust, Natah_Pony, Joseph Stallion, Peppermint Harmony
• some 2D illustrators (for the mapping and textures): AmberDust
• voice actors, I think: 
• and musicians: Corvus Hooves, Joseph Stallion

I still don't know which game idea I would follow, so I don't know exactly my needs for this project, but I think that's it. I'm not planning to make you work FOR me, but WITH me, as this is for a fan-game project and I think this is better to work by passion. And Team Work is Magic, so I can assure you I would work on my free time.

 

04.25.2015 - EDIT : Recruitment is closed for now. We will open it again if we need some more help.

Well, since I'm not good at programming, I think you're still better than me^^. And thanks for the advice, I knew about Unreal Engine, but I didn't know it was free and worked on C++. And for the modeling/animation, I think I could learn you some little tricks (as I'm perfectionnist, I think it could help you to better on Blender if you wanna help on the 3D section).

 

I add you as musician and 3D modeler and animator. Thanks, guy. I'll also PM you my Skype so we can speak more about the project (but since I'm French, maybe it could be a little... tougher)

I don't know if I could help but I just downloaded unity to give it a go and so far it seems pretty complicated.

Ended up making a floaty red blob that fires out particles XD.

[Rocket Punk 476]

Well, do you know how to code in C++?

 

Also, Corvus Hooves and myself are currently talking about the basics of the game design (as we both suck at this  )

 

And if you really want to help, maybe can I learn you how to model and animate?

Yeah I'll learn how to model and animate. C++ is just. No.

[AmberDust 1,118]

I'd love to help somehow, but I'm definitely NOT a programmer...

I could help with 2d drawings, story, or maybe NPC/character design.

[Rocket Punk 476]

I add you in the team and I'll PM you with my Skype. I'll create a chan for us to talk about the game.

 

Also, Corvus Hooves and I have some ideas for game design, but we're not sure yet. I think we'll seriously need you, AmberDust.

[NuclearBurg (Dawn) 622]

This thing is complicated. Good program but complicated.

 

[Rocket Punk 476]

That's fine, we found a bunch of free for use 3D pony models, so you won't have to model characters, just architectures and landscapes. So, we'll need some 2D artists for the mapping.

Mapping? Like, dungeon layout?

[Rocket Punk 476]

Mapping like dungeon layout or city layout. We'll also need some help for the textures.

I really hope I'm good enough to be of use to you. ^^

I think I could help with the writing and maybe voice acting. Also I have some picture editing skills with photoshop that might be of help to you. (not so much drawing)

[Rocket Punk 476]

I'll add you to our PM conversation and send you my Skype. I add you as writer now, we'll see for the voice acting later (we haven't finished the story yet)

 

Also, 3 friends of mine want to test the game once finished.

[ThePoniMan 164]

If we are really dedicated, then I would be willing to help with music and possible story design. I want to learn coding in college and beyond. I have tried some basic stuff and really enjoy it, but I do not have what it takes to help code the game, so music and story it is

[Rocket Punk 476]

Well, I'm currently working on an idea for the story development, but I think I'm gonna need some help, so yeah, you could definitely help! And since we use the blueprint system in UE4, you no longer have to program command lines, so it's a way easier than standard programming (and you could learn with Corvus Hooves and NuclearBurg, so it's cool). Also, I think Corvus will need some help with the composition, so your help is welcomed. I add you both as writer and musician, and I send you my Skype and add you to our PM conversation with AmberDust and all the staff.

[Edward Kenway 27]

I may be able to help with story development and *possibly POSSIBLY* voice acting c:

 

I can record a few lines or so if you need examples of my VAing stuff, and am happy to link you to some of my writing works if you need examples there.

[Rocket Punk 476]

OK then. Wow, we're not the new Mane-6, but the Mane-7 in the team! I add you as writer. I think I can close the recruitment for now, we're 7, I think it's a good number, and if I need some more help, I'll open the recruitment again. I'll PM you my Skype like I've done with everypony in the team, and add you to the list as writer (I'll add voice actors later, since we only are in the early stages of development, but yeah, I'm currently searching for some show accurate VAs, I found two really good voice actresses).
