Comet Game Studios Recruiting (Huge Open World City)

CometGameStudios · Oct 2014

Hi Polycount Members, 
This is a post that has been long overdue, as our team has been in need of new members for a long time now. 
 
We are offering post-game compensation.

There's a few other members that work part time, but I haven't bothered mentioning them. We are looking for people to work full time. 
 
The Game 
Our game is an open world city, similar to games such as Grand Theft Auto, Watch Dogs, and Saints Row. We are attempting to make the story and gameplay as realistic as possibly. I have my own ideas for the story (mainly a cybercrime theme), but my writing skills are sub-par, therefore I am open to alternate ideas. 
 
The city is loosely based on modern day New York City, with some elements from Philadelphia in the architectural style. 
 
Below are some semi-recent screenshots.

Engine & Licenses 
We are using CryENGINE EaaS 3.6 to create our open world. This is the new subscription based engine with PBR. 
We also have a game code license for older versions, but this is now obsolete because of EaaS. 
 
We have been in contact with Sony, and are in the process of signing an NDA to aquire a Playstation 4 devkit! If we decide to do a Kickstarter, we will then need to purchase a CryENGINE sourcecode license to publish to PS4. 
 
Open Positions 
3D Modeler/Texture Artist - Must have experience in 3ds Max/Maya/Blender and Photoshop. Sketchup is acceptable, but you must export in a different program due to physics proxy issues. You will be creating buildings, city props, and vehicles. 
 
Writer - A writer is needed to create a compelling and gripping story. We are looking for people who have experience on other games. 
 
Animator/Rigger - Someone who can animate and rig characters in Maya, then export to CryENGINE. If you are interested, there are many templates and tutorials that exist over at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.crydev.net</a> 
 
HUD Designer/Flash Artist - Someone who has experience in Flash and who can make an HUD that the player can interact with. The HUD will need to display a minimap, health, details about the guns, and player stats in multiplayer. 
 
 
Please let me know if you have any further questions. I will be updating this thread frequently with new content and concept art. Thanks for reading.
