Nordic Epitaph's " River Bend Project " needs a programmer to pick up where the last one left off.
For those not familiar, it's a simple 1st person shooter. I have 1 level remaining to complete (80% complete) the other 9 are primarily finished, minus easter eggs, and other potential details time permitting.
The code thus far is complete in the following areas:
player movement
player shooting
90% player panel
player health mostly finished
stamina done in panel
vehicle movement
damage to enemy
enemy death
enemy 'AI'
I have all but 1 level complete enough to code for gameplay.
I have all models complete, minus later additions if warranted.
Sound effects are yet to be created/added to the game
What will need to be done yet is below not a complete list, but close. Youll notice its not hard stuff to do for the most part:
-Level changes when player gets near a model
-Sound FX music added to the game
-Startup splash screen/end credits
-fly through mode
-Enemy spawn points
-Enemy shooting (same as player but different models)
-Player damage
-Better accuracy with player's lazer 'bullets'
-Ability to pick up keys/ carry some keys between levels
-Opening doors (spacebar activation for doors/switches is done i believe)
-Keys icons in the player panel as needed
-Pickup of health packs
-Add crosshair for player
-Simple quicksave/load
-Possible cutscene additions between some levels
-Possible display of video clips in player panel
-Possible narration/help audio clips set to certain points in some levels
-Possible points where the player is taken to secret levels
There is also some extra work within 1 level which acts as a mini game. Its still shooting and destroying objects.
This isnt a complete list, but its very very close.
A quick and dirty demo would be nice for pre sale hype. Weekly newsletters at the resort have carried the game announcement/press release every week all summer. Ive posted my own flyers, and fielded questions from numerous park members/kids all summer.
Payment will be based on sales and can be negotiated as far as percentage or flat rate, but wont be available until after the Sept 1st weekend (Labor Day) when the game should be released.
Payment can be money order, paypal or other service. If its international money order, i'll include the extra funds necessary to cover the outrageous cost to convert the money order to your currency (darn banks!)
This is a simple first project shooter, and despite the daunting list above, will not take too much to complete in my humble opinion since a lot of the code is alrady completed.
However, any candidate can NOT be distracted by too much summer fun and must stick to the task as much as possible. Im missing my whole summer (or until the game is done) working on this, (heck, Ive missed 2 1/2 years of free time) but its worth it to have a finished title. I would hope any help would feel the same over just a few weeks of work.
Screenhots always available at my website under the 'Projects' link
Questions welcome, of course.
p.s. Im not above begging for help
