Greetings everyone, my name is Jack. I am proud to represent SymmetryGames LLC as both an Artist and business member. Before I continue with more details about the various 3D artist positions, I will lay out basic background information regarding SymmetryGames LLC/Z-Warz.
About SymmetryGames LLC: SymmetryGames LLC is a new, independent game development company, founded by myself and two other business partners. Currently, our team consists of two programmers, one 3D artist (myself), one concept artist and one sound designer/composer. Currently, we work overseas and communicate via Discord/Skype. For about the past 3 months we have been designing and developing the prototype for what will be our first official game title, Z-Warz.
About Z-Warz: Z-Warz is a top-down 3D zombie survival game designed for the web and later, mobile platforms. The main mission behind Z-Warz was to create an interesting low-budget multiplayer game that players could access for free. We are basing Z-Warz off of “.io” games which are essentially free to play online video games with simple yet entertaining mechanics. Such titles as Agar.io, Slither.io and Wings.io all fall under this “.io” category. All or most of these “.io” games make a profit from ad-based revenue. One very important question that I receive often is, what separates Z-Warz from other top-down zombie survival games. The core principle in Z-Warz is the multiplayer aspect. We have designed Z-Warz so that almost everyone will only be a few mouse clicks away from connecting with potentially hundreds of players. Within Z-Warz there will be multiple different game survival modes. Some game modes allow players to battle each other while others establish a cooperative playing field. The team game mode, for example, will allow up to 16 players (subject to change) to connect in one world and battle waves of zombies together. The Battlefield game mode, however, is more of an open-world every person for themselves environment. More public information about Z-Warz will be detailed later as well as described on our social media pages. (links will be placed below)
Development/Timeline information: For the past 3-4 weeks, our small team of volunteers has been working on a basic single player prototype of Z-Warz. We have determined that Unity 5 would be our best option in terms of game engines. Long before we began work on the Z-Warz prototype we knew we wanted to run some form of crowd-funding campaign. For multiple reasons, it seems as though we have settled with running a Kickstarter. Being a new studio we figured running a campaign would be difficult. There would many pieces that would need to be in place to effectively fund our project. We decided it would be best to develop a small prototype of Z-Warz as proof of concept while we built up our basic social media pages. The Z-Warz prototype will mainly be used for game footage for the Kickstarter video as well as an alpha test backer reward for our project on Kickstarter. As we come close to finishing our alpha prototype, we are beginning to work on the Kickstarter video. We have a basic concept/outline as well as basic storyboard concepts for each cinematic scene.
3D Artist Basic Information: Now that our storyboard conceptual sketches have been completed, we are ready to move to the next step which will be 3D Previsualization. To ensure that we put forward the best possible Kickstarter video, we plan to recruit roughly 3-4 volunteer 3D Artists/Animators to improve the quality of the Kickstarter video. It should be noted that any artists and animators who are interested in working on Z-Warz post-Kickstarter will be paid as standard freelancers. All artists will receive approximately 3 to 6 % royalties from any and all Kickstarter campaign profit. (NOTE: Post-Kickstarter, all software will be paid for by SymmetryGames LLC.)
Who are we looking for? There are about four main positions we are looking to fill:
1) 3D Lead Generalist (3D Modeling, 3D Texturing, UV Mapping)
2) 3D Animator/Rigging Technician (Rigging, Animating)
3) 3D Environment Artist (3D Modeling, 3D Texturing, Lighting, Scene Design)
4) Visual Effects/Simulation Technician (Simulation Skills, Rendering) (NOTE: These are basic overviews of each position, details will be provided upon request via email)
Time/Involvement: For each position, the average involvement time in hours will vary. There is a current total of 17 scenes in the Kickstarter video. Nine of which will be cinematically rendered 3D scenes. In terms of project due dates, we plan to launch our Kickstarter campaign within the next two months.
