In short this is a shout out to any Game developers in need of assistance. I am a senior student of the University of Southern Mississippi studying computer science, and I really want to get involved in game development. I do a lot 3D modeling with blender on my own time and previously was a Graphic Design major so I have some formal experience there too. I just got a job at my university to help build content for a webgl game. It is of my highest aspiration to become a game developer, and I know it probably won't happen. However, I can't just give up, and so I am looking to get as much experience as I can. My summer break is almost here and I want to use my skills so as to not get rusty. I would like to get involved in a project that is story oriented, as I have not seen something like this so far on Ubuntu.That being said I would prefer that this be developed mainly on Ubuntu, but I am not going to overlook any offer that seems to have good direction. So in the end the game I like the most will bear the heaviest influence on my decision. Actually, I would feel lucky to get any offers! I am not asking to get paid either...of course...
My Skills
-3D Modeling...(Animation,Sculpting,Texturing,...)
-2D Graphics...(Physical Media, and Digital Media)
-Music...(I have played in a band for many years, and have
dabbled in computer assisted music creation.)
-Concept Creation...(I have been doing this since I could hold a
pencil)
-C++ (probably almost everything)
-Java (not new to it, but not as strong as c++)
-Others(I am not afraid to learn any programming language, and I
have used plenty)
My Caveats
-I have little experience with game development other than what I have with webgl, and some Oblivion modding. Though I feel my knowledge with coding will easily over come that.
-I don't really have a lot to show off. Most of my creations have been for personal enjoyment, and what I do have has been packed away in Deja Dup archives which are a pain to access.(Other than code. I have plenty of that from school.)
My Interests/ What I am looking for
(I didn't want to add this fearing that I might scare some offers away. So if your project doesn't match this please post anyway. I just wanted to state to my interests as it may be beneficial to those who consider me.)
-ANY STATE OF DEVELOPMENT! Whether you are some lone sole with an idea too big for just yourself, or if your part a large project that wants to update their graphics I would be glad to be a part of either.
-I am mainly interested in content creation, but I am 90% as interested in code as well.
-I see my self being apart of a proposed project for a long time. Either until its finished or development stops. So not just for the summer!
-I would like it to be a 3D project if at all possible.
-I would like it to be a (and I know this is probably just dreaming here because I have seen little of this in Linux or open source games at all...) story driven game. I would love to see an open source 3D game for Linux that used cinematic sequences, and creative game play. However, I would not refuse someone who just was serious about putting together another FPS.
-Like I mentioned before I would like for game to be developed under Ubuntu(or some other Linux). However, as much as I want this I could see my self blowing the dust off my Windows partition or even installing a Project-OSX86 partition if the offer was tantalizing enough.
**Yes, I know most open source games have places on their websites to offer help, but I wanted to try this first.
So please make some proposals!
