A little about who I am real fast. I am a graduate from UAT, one of the leaders in game design education, good bad or indifferent to you, you can at least know me to be truly interested in game development. I have spent some time on a few teams over the years, I tested for COR www.corproject.com (which is actually going strong and due out soon i believe), lead level design on the Asylum UT2K4 project and lots of other project that died as im sure many of you have been. I hate to see projects die, I refuse to let that happen without a fight and I need other people willing to take that to heart.
Currently I am Looking for many people to help me with the creation of a long time idea of mine. I had started work on a text MUD version a while back, but never completed it. So here is the basic premise fo the world of Cyber-State.
Cyber-State is a Cyberpunk themed MUD about a futuristic city in which the media organizations hold all of the real power. News anchors and reporters are the true leaders of this world where slander and lies can become a powerful motivating force to push ones own agenda. Will you strive for power through cunning and blackmail, or will you join the resistance and try to inform the un-informd masses of the real truth behind the media?
What I need from this forum are a couple of concept artists. I need people who can create characters as well as world locations. I need both dirty grunge asthetics as well as clean futuristc asthetics. No Anime, this is not an anime themed game and that is not the style I am going for.
The perfect person would be able to follow direction and keep their drawings in the games intended universe.
Currently I have a simple website up at http://www.cyberstateonline.com until I find a proper web designer. If you think you want to help please contact me ASAP, I will not leave you hanging for long.

!THIS IS NOT A PAID POSITION!
In case you wondered a bit more about the game itself. It will be a PvP heavy game, with a number of differnt factions, some playable by players, some only accessable by the devs(to further the story/roleplay of the world). The factions are.
International Media Organization (IMO) – Not playable
The IMO runs the show worldwide. Corrupt to its very core in order to push forward agendas of the power hungry officials on its Board of directors or just “the board” as most call it. Using the power of the television, radio and the cinema the IMO forces its will on those around it. You either work toward their cause, or become vilified by its power over the masses. While the IMO prefers to keep its hands clean using only forms of mental and psychological manipulation, when it must resort to physical means it can call upon its elite force of assassins and soldiers. This part of the organization is especially secretive and the members have been hidden from public eye, right out in the open, the reports and news anchors which we watch each day and night on IMO world news.
Dragon Shadow Clan - Playable
The Dragon Shadow Clan is a secret organization of corporate businesses. Many companies CEO's are high ranking leaders of the organization. The Clan enjoys making trouble for the IMO using a veritable army of hackers, crackers and thugs to further their own pursuits outside the radar of the IMO. If the IMO were to ever fall, the Dragon Shadow Clan would mostly likely be the organization to take control. At the moment the Clan is content with making a killing on the black market and drug trade.
United Underground Resistance Force (UURF) - Playable
The UURF is a group of many different kinds of people united by a common cause. Their mission is the destruction of the IMO. The UURF believe the IMO to be corrupt all the way up the ranks. While the IMO reports it is only looking out for citizen interest the UURF believes the opposite. The current UURF leader is a man named Corson Dean. He is only seen in person by those high enough in the organization to need to, in order to avoid capture by the IMO. The IMO reports of the UURF make them out to be simple minded terrorists.
Web Defense Force (WDF) - Playable
The Web Defense Force is a section of the NSF. The organization is in charge of security inside the web and other types of networks. For the most part they serve the same purpose as the NSF, but inside the web. They are charged with keeping the IMO networks secure and virus free. The WDF has access to restricted software and hardware, giving them advantages that most web crawlers would not have.
National Security Force (NSF) - Playable
The NSF is responsible for both national security and local law enforcement. The NSF takes its orders directly from the IMO (International Media Organization), enforcing their control and agenda. The NSF is also responsible for hunting down groups that would challenge the power of the IMO, such as the UURF and the Dragon Shadow Clan.
Citizen of the State - Playable
Normal citizens prefer to live in blissful ignorance of either side of the conflict. While not choosing a side can afford you some protection, it by no means makes you completely safe. In the end most citizens end up choosing sides, because ultimately the war is brought right to their doorstep.
The game will be created using Realm Crafter. www.realmcrafter.com
Realm Crafter is a full service suite of tools to make asmall independant MMORPG's for fun or profit. This project would be for fun, with possible profit if things go REALLY well. Once the full source of Realm Crafter is released we will have full reign to design the game, until then we will be building and creating everythign possible to build interest.
