Hello Everybody!
First I would like to introduce my current project 'Britonia: Return of the Valkier'. I have been working on it now for the best part of one year. It is to be a medieval fantasy RPG targetted for the PC and XBOX 360. I started the project because of my interest in programming, and I have been investing all lot of time in it over the months.
For more information about the project, you can visit my website:
Britonia: Return of the Valkier website (http://www.britonia-game.com)
The game is still in the early development stages, but as I progress I'm finding that I am spending too much time creating the graphical content. To that end I have decided it is about time to start looking for some help.
There are many areas that I would be greatful for help with, and obviously anybody who does contribute and/or wishes to join the 'team' would be fully credited for their work. This list is a very limited and will definitely be expanded upon in the future:
Website - I created the game website last year. The layout and theme is not great but it serves its purpose. if anybody is adapt at creating Joomla templates and would like to display their work so they can reference to it later, I'd be happy to improve the overall look of the site.
Game User interface - I have implemented much of the functionalty of the in-game user interfaces (main menu and HUD) but currently I'm using only place holder art. The art required for the UI must obviously meet certain criteria, so anybody wanted to work on a GUI would have to be willing to stay regulary in contact. This is potentially the most awarding aspect for artists, as the GUI will be featured in many screenshots, and its what the user interacts with the most.
Concept art - I'm not sure if this is the correct terminology, but I'll use it anyway. I find that many people who visit my site are not sure exactly what kind of game to expect. So I'd like to use pictures of game concept art to decorate the website, and also potentially to use as the backdrop in the menu main. Each section of the website will eventually have a banner related to page, such as on the 'Lore' page of the website.
Game Content - This is undefined at the moment. Because of the nature of the game, there are again many requirements of creating and submitting art for use in-game. There are also many areas with which I need help (3D modelling, model texturing, texture packs etc.). I would request that anybody wishing to submit content, please contact me first.
Unfortunately I lack the vocabulary to describe the art style I'm aiming for. The game is not fast-paced, and so should be quite relaxing to look at. And the user interface should definately hint at being medieval in nature. I have a few videos which shows some early in-game features (pls. ignore the UI) with which you may be able to visualise the scenario better:
Videos from in-game art and mechanics (http://www.youtube.com/user/lintfordpickle)
Currently I am a one man team working out of interest. If anybody is looking to contribute to a project to gain recognition or as a point of reference, then I'd be greatful for any help.
Anybody interested in helping can contact me at johnhampson@britonia-game.com
