Ertzel Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hello everyone….Within the next year, I will be developing and releasing a custom made MMO created in C#. The game will be similar to what I released with Zacaras Empire a couple heres ago on here except this one will not be made in vb6 and fully not be using a pre-made engine. I will be using an engine currently under development by GP and I which is coming along nicely. Once it is further along I will begin to heavily modify my own version so it is more for an individual game and not as a generic engine.The game I'll be creating with this will be modeled after a game I have now played on and off for 6+ years called Ashen Empires (originally called Dransik), Although I called it by its current name, the graphics style and gameplay style I will be going for is more towards its early stages when it was called Dransik (this stage in the games development is now refereed to as Dransik Pre-DS).It will be designed more towards the oldschool style of gaming with its graphics and ingame content/features. I will not be going for a fancy 3D looking game or overcomplicated gameplay.You may be wondering why I am posting this now when I said earlier that this will be done within a year and not very soon. The reason for that is because I am looking to make a legit MMO and not just some game thats online for a month and looks like everything else, I am looking for fully custom graphics for everything in the game. This will take a lot of time to create for whoever joins me just like it will take a lot of time for me to make this game.Currently I cannot offer payment as I am unemployed and don't have enough money to pay fairly for the work I'm asking for. However, if your work is up to the standard I am looking for and is used in the game, I will compensate whoever helps me once I am able to do so. I cannot post prices or time frames as to when this compensation would happen as it all depends on my irl situations with getting a job. Also, I am in talks with a third-party member about them funding this games development and everything needed for it. If that happens I will be able to offer fair market prices for whatever work I have used in the game.Below are some examples of the graphics style I am looking for. It doesn't have to look like a perfect clone of these but I do want something very similar:>! >! >! >! >! >!  I am looking for serious people who are not going to quit after a few weeks and are looking to help work on a real game. I expect that this task will require more then one artist due to the size of work needed so if you have a team or have a specific field you are better with (like tiles, npcs, items, gui's, ect..) just tell me so I will know.If you would like to talk more about this position or ask any questions, either post them here or add me on skype: [TheErtzel](skype:TheErtzel?call) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRexion Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Psuedo-3D huh? You'd be better off looking for a 3D Modeler, as it's a lot harder to achieve that effect without using prerendered graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your looking for something like Reiner's tiles, 3D graphics used in a 2D enviorment. Like Ambardia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertzel Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yes, I am aware of the graphics style I am looking for, thats why I posted the screenshots to better show what I need. That doesn't change the fact that I'm looking for a graphics artist so I'm not exactly sure why both of you posted to say it….Whoever does the graphics would most likely design them as a 3D model first...

Ertzel Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Are all of those tiles in your project custom made by you?If so, would you be willing to do some examples of more oldschool less polished looking tiles similar to the screenshots I posted here?

isoprog Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Ya, the programming is almost done. The release will delay just because of these tiles.I will try as much as I can. Just I don't understand the camera projection, it is neither isometric nor top down!Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMF Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 that game iso, slight turn from the top down so not full iso. and you can do ground tiles the normal way.also he might just want look in a top down style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoprog Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hi,I just rendered a map to understand the camera projection. I most probably need to see the tiles in game to get the correct camera setup.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertzel Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Not sure if this helps, but here is what the graphics from those screenshots lookes like in that games old editor:>! >! >! >! >! >!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoprog Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Ya, this will work.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstice Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Those types of games look terrible. This reminds me of Ambardia, yuck. Those types of games should remain as late 90s experiments. Crude and ugly.I hope this project fails because it will just look awful, I'm sure the game you're trying to clone has professionals working on it, it still looks like poop. :|That being,Said it's nothing personal, I just think that "art (pile of poop) style" should be forbidden from even being made, it's an eyesore.Mmmmm. Milky mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertzel Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Bump….Burael is working on the tiles for me, but I still need someone who can work on items and/or sprites, I don't plan on having Paperdoll atm, so the items and sprites should be a little easier to do. The screenshots in the first post shows some examples of items and sprites and I can post more if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoprog Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Do you need 3d rendered sprite or just 2d sprite?If you need 3d rendered sprite than just find someone who is good with GIMP or PS and I will show him/her how to render in blender and make sprites from it. I have some base human 3d models.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertzel Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I don't know much about graphics as I fail at making them so never looked into it much. I need whatever the ones in the screenshots are. From what I know, those where made in 3D then rendered in 2D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
