Artists needed for a narrative driven horror game
Synopsis:
"Cut
off from civilization and mourning the disappearance of his wife,
acclaimed author and historian, professor Edwin Roberts, plunges
himself into the research for his next book – an investigation into
a host of mysterious stone ruins hid deep within the clutches of an
ancient forest.
But when bizarre events begin to occur, Edwin starts to fear that the ruins, the hostile locals and Cynthia’s vanishing might all be connected. And then there’s the terrifying figure stalking him from within the treeline…
As
paranoia seeps in, and isolation takes its toll, Edwin finds himself
plunged headfirst into an ancient enigma, a folkloric nightmare of
cosmic horror…"
The
Project:
- First
person narrative driven horror
game
built in UE4.
- Search
for hidden clues and unfold the story with the way you play
- Get
immersed within the rich surrounding world
- Feel
the tension rise as anything could be lurking behind the corner
- In
the end, you get to have a huge narrative decision
Our
goal
We
work towards making the game have quality rather than quantity. This
means that the game is fairly short considering the standards of a
modern game but which also gives us more time focusing on making an
immersive world with attachable characters.The aim is to have a
"movie like" experience without
forgetting the gameplay,
that grabs the players
and leaves a lasting
impression.

What
are we looking for
We
are currently looking
to fill the following positions for the pre-production:
Environment concept artist, 3D
Environment artist, 3D prop artist,
Storyboard artist
Our
projected timeline is as follows:
- Pre-production
through the end of Q4 2019

The
game is relatively small in scope – large enough to be significant
in a portfolio, small enough to be viable with a team working part
time at a steady, structured pace. To be clear, no one on the team is
being paid either salary or lump sum, though any revenue generated
will be shared.
The
project will operate on a week-by-week, deadline basis. Within that
week, your schedule is up to you. We understand that a non-salary,
part time position will not be your first priority during the week.
Essentially, we’re all flexible, but we’re also all committed.
