Hello Everyone
Guess whos back? We never really left though.
You know who we are: Triumverity Games.
But do you really know who we are?
Well you are about to learn about us, what we are doing, what makes us so damn special, and what we want from you?
Yes you, the one that is reading this. Dont bother looking around, trust me, we want you and your talent.
First off, we are Triumverity Games, and we are seeking the best and brightest from all corners of the world to come on board and help us complete out first title The Clockwork Revolution. This is a great chance to pool your talent with others and work on a project that is almost worldwide.
I mean literally worldwide. We have talent across three separate continents, and more are on the way.
Project Details
What Is The Clockwork Revolution?
The Clockwork Revolution is a Steampunk themed Action RPG. Yes, you heard me right Steam punk. Picqued your interest? Good.
TCR takes place in the fictional nation of Cognier. After two devastating wars, The Cognier government has oppressed its citizens and has resorted to using Mechanica (clockwork based automatons) to do the work of man. The disgruntled masses have formed the Unitas rebellion with the sole purpose of taking down the Cognier's and their machines in order to restore the balance.
The story will follow the actions of the main character Jack Smith as he works towards accomplishing the rebellions goals. Jack must acquire weapons, assets, and recruits, while at the same time using guerilla tactics such as weakening critical Cognier facilities. Along the way Jack will discover the truth behind their power as well as find out the mystery behind his own personal torment.
Gameplay
Gameplay in TCR is determined and influenced by the decisions that you make, whether it is to help a criminal escape, or sacrifice the few to save the many. Everything you do has consequences, and those consequences affect the story. There is no simple morality system here. The things you do may help or hinder your progress. It is up to you to determine what course of action is best.
Combat is a combination of third person shooter utilizing a cover system. The player can take a more aggressive stance and fight against enemies or take a more tactical approach using weapons, gadgets and environmental hazards.
Game Modes
Campaign Mode (Top Priority) - The campaign mode will have an exciting story line which that deals with the fictional history of Cognier the mess it is in. Along the way new allies and new enemies will reveal themselves and their motivations. Nothing is ever as it seems. As you further progress through the game, you discover more and more about what is going on around you while making it through to an exciting conclusion.
KEY Features
Steam Punk setting
o The game is set in a Steam punk/Industrial era. Common features of this era are steam, gear driven (clockwork) and the newly discovered mystery element known as HD.
Large variety of weapons.
o We have a variety of different weapons estimated to about (14) ranging from pistols all the way up to HD powered lasers, all done with a steam punk flavor, setting them apart.
Story written by professional talent.
o Speaks for itself. We have a professional published author on our side, dedicated to the project.
Powered by the Unreal Engine
o You know what to expect if you are reading this. This project is powered by one of the most robust and flexible gaming engines on the market, which we will utilize to the fullest.
Huge Interactive Levels
o Levels that arent just set pieces, places to hide or eye candy, but places to take cover, or even use against the enemy. Levels that are as cool to look at as they are to battle in.
Combinable Gadgets and Chems for Offensive and Defense
o Use and deploy chems and gadgets to augment your strengths or boost your defenses. Combine certain ones for a more potent effect.
Real-time Choices.
o Choices that are responses to actions not just words.
Eclectic cast of characters.
o From thieves to chemist, each character has their own motivations for helping the rebellion, and provide more backstory to an interesting and exciting world.
Work with a secondary character
o A squad mate to provide back-up as well as change a situation by providing unique skills that Jack doesnt possess.
There are more key features. These are just the tip of the iceberg. I mean there is more stuff that I havent even begun to list. Thats all beneath the surface.
Talking Tough
We arent just talking big, we are planning big.
Complete GDD
56 page in depth Game Design Document that covers all the important bits with individual docs for elements such as Enemy AI, Items, Gameplay Mechanics.
Concept Art Guide
Need to know what something looks like? We have an CA guide that list locations, vehicles, characters, etc. You name it, we most likely have it covered, and the guide is updated as new artwork is created.
3D Assets Library
Weve accumulated quite a trove of 3D Models to be used in the project, and more are being generated as we speak. Most of them designed directly from the Concept Art and look amazing.
Task Management System
Its a secret, but we got this one covered as well. Cant go into details, but we have a program for this purpose as well as a proficiently talented management team each one skilled in their own area.
Professional Voice Actors
Story, dialogue all that is only as good as the people behind the mics. We got em and they are a dedicated group of professionals who have been in a few games that you may have heard of. *Skyrim* cough!
We have an active team roster of at least fifteen dedicated individuals, but in order to make this happen we are going to need more. Thats where you come in. Still you probably want to know more about what our goals are. Am I right?
Our Goals
Our goals are simple. To produce a work that shows our talents and desire as indie developers and gamers. We are making great strides to produce a game that even the big AAA companies would want to take credit for.
Nothing wrong with dreaming big as long as you shoot for the stars. Speaking of shooting for the stars, thats an expensive trip, so you wanna know about funding right?
Funding
Funding is always a difficult thing, but if you produce a project that is strong enough, you can get people interested. With that we have decided in the initial stage to crowd fund TCR. Once we have assembled the right elements for a proper pitch, we will start a campaign. While this may seem risky, in actuality it isnt. Several campaigns have done exceedingly well. We arent trying to do Tim Shafer well, but I know we can do well enough, plus its not impossible to get investors on a solid project, and ours is solid like a rock.
Royalties
Royalties are never generalized and are determined by the type of work and the amount of work done. Royalties are only paid for finished work upon completion of the work and of the project. We are willing to negotiate a fair royalty rate for anyone involved. Freelance works for hire rules apply, and all Freelancers are required to sign a NDA and a few other bits of paperwork, but thats talk for later.
Now that you know about us, what we are doing, its time to learn about what we need.
Positions
We are looking for multiple members to join our team and help further develop a truly innovative idea. Communication throughout the project would mostly be done through Skype, email and project management software. We have a preference for those that are at least 18 years old and older although its not required.
If you dont have the necessary skills in any of the open positions, apply anyway. You may have some skill, which can be utilized for the project at a later point, or a talent that just needs the right project to shine on.
Example: We had a guy come on as a Writer, but he had had no real knowledge of Steam punk, but over time he developed such a love for the project that he unlocked his ability in game design and management. Guys been a real asset to the team and one of the ones responsible for the projects direction.

Eclectic cast of characters.
o From thieves to chemist, each character has their own motivations for helping the rebellion, and provide more backstory to an interesting and exciting world.
Work with a secondary character
o A squad mate to provide back-up as well as change a situation by providing unique skills that Jack doesnt possess.
There are more key features. These are just the tip of the iceberg. I mean there is more stuff that I havent even begun to list. Thats all beneath the surface.
Talking Tough
We arent just talking big, we are planning big.
Complete GDD
56 page in depth Game Design Document that covers all the important bits with individual docs for elements such as Enemy AI, Items, Gameplay Mechanics.
Concept Art Guide
Need to know what something looks like? We have an CA guide that list locations, vehicles, characters, etc. You name it, we most likely have it covered, and the guide is updated as new artwork is created.
3D Assets Library
Weve accumulated quite a trove of 3D Models to be used in the project, and more are being generated as we speak. Most of them designed directly from the Concept Art and look amazing.
Task Management System
Its a secret, but we got this one covered as well. Cant go into details, but we have a program for this purpose as well as a proficiently talented management team each one skilled in their own area.
Professional Voice Actors
Story, dialogue all that is only as good as the people behind the mics. We got em and they are a dedicated group of professionals who have been in a few games that you may have heard of. *Skyrim* cough!
We have an active team roster of at least fifteen dedicated individuals, but in order to make this happen we are going to need more. Thats where you come in. Still you probably want to know more about what our goals are. Am I right?
Our Goals
Our goals are simple. To produce a work that shows our talents and desire as indie developers and gamers. We are making great strides to produce a game that even the big AAA companies would want to take credit for.
Nothing wrong with dreaming big as long as you shoot for the stars. Speaking of shooting for the stars, thats an expensive trip, so you wanna know about funding right?
Funding
Funding is always a difficult thing, but if you produce a project that is strong enough, you can get people interested. With that we have decided in the initial stage to crowd fund TCR. Once we have assembled the right elements for a proper pitch, we will start a campaign. While this may seem risky, in actuality it isnt. Several campaigns have done exceedingly well. We arent trying to do Tim Shafer well, but I know we can do well enough, plus its not impossible to get investors on a solid project, and ours is solid like a rock.
Royalties
Royalties are never generalized and are determined by the type of work and the amount of work done. Royalties are only paid for finished work upon completion of the work and of the project. We are willing to negotiate a fair royalty rate for anyone involved. Freelance works for hire rules apply, and all Freelancers are required to sign a NDA and a few other bits of paperwork, but thats talk for later.
Now that you know about us, what we are doing, its time to learn about what we need.
Positions
We are looking for multiple members to join our team and help further develop a truly innovative idea. Communication throughout the project would mostly be done through Skype, email and project management software. We have a preference for those that are at least 18 years old and older although its not required.
If you dont have the necessary skills in any of the open positions, apply anyway. You may have some skill, which can be utilized for the project at a later point, or a talent that just needs the right project to shine on.
Example: We had a guy come on as a Writer, but he had had no real knowledge of Steam punk, but over time he developed such a love for the project that he unlocked his ability in game design and management. Guys been a real asset to the team and one of the ones responsible for the projects direction.
