Project Name: Planet Postmoderna

Planet Postmoderna - Currently in a Phase I, a virtual world demo.

Brief Description:

Postmoderna has been in pre-production since early 2008, and we are currently using Multiverse for the prototype. This project is designed to be fully organic and will be built by the players' efforts. What exists in the world at start will be very different a year and so forth going forward.

It is an educational and virtual world model that combines a sci-fi futuristic and old west environment with portals to instances based on historical fact and myth/folklore.

Technology:

We're using the Multiverse platform to stage our demo and prot0ype to pitch to Mindark and potential investors. MV uses the Ogre 3D engine. The platform uses Collada file format (*.dae) and for coding JPython and SQL skills.

Goals:

Short term goal: develop a proof of concept with a fully functional online demo/prototype environment and basic set of features.

Long term goal: pitch project to possible investors and Mindark for inclusion on Entropia Universe or open project to community as a
standalone organic planet.

Compensation:

Currently the project is 100% community driven, with volunteer contributions and donated development platforms and tools. The plan is long term members and investors who stay on will own a piece of the planet. Contributors will receive shares in value of planet currency or be possibly paid for time at launch from funding.

Talent needed:

**As an indie project, we're looking for self-motivated, mature and committed individuals for the following roles:

For the demo we are looking for:

Programmers - with experience in Python and JPython and/or C++ for basic coding within demo

Animators - with experience in converting/exporting working animated models

Texture Artists - with experience in creating high-res images for mapping to low-poly models using tools such as Photoshop

Model-makers - 3dsMax , Zbrush and/or Blender with Above Average/Advanced Experience and ability to export and convert to Collada format
successfully.

Concept Artists - able to take storyline and verbal/written concept and turn it into visuals

Short Movie Production - Be able to take content and images and produce short movies to post on YouTube to help promote project.
Note: This is a side project and not immediately required for production but will be used in marketing.

Our core team consists of 3 developers (1 coder, 1 modeler and texture artist and team lead) with many contributors from the community.
