the amount of artists / assets available, although most think dooms the project, only hinders the project, any artist worth their salt would make models / textures / animations if they can see something that already exists, working, and playable
My idea was to get environmental art very soon into this project and try to get some artists from game-artists.net or moddb.com into the game once we have something to show.
To start with 50 static models and 100 textures could help the artists to concentrate on animated models, custom objects, etc.
It is just an idea and I asked the company for a way to use their models and textures in a community project without getting into legal trouble.
May it be a Sci-Fi, fantasy, medieval theme... was not part of my request. Just if it would be possible to find an arrangement for this project.
