UDK Based Project Thread

Hi guys,

I'm sure you're all aware of the release of UDK; a set of tools allowing indie developers to harness the power of the Unreal 3 Engine, and use it to power their own commercial projects. You can take a good look at it here;
www.udk.com

I'm presently putting feelers out for interest in forming a development team with the aim of producing a game aimed at the commercial market; and likely aimed at being marketed primarily via digital distribution. The core aim of the project is to provide a singleplayer game experience with good length, and production techniques are aimed squarely at an asset and programming low approach, with a rapid development turn-around. All compensation will be royalty based.

I'm presently interested in contact from programmers and 3d artists - unreal experience preferred, but not necessary. Interest in space combat and space opera, also optional.

Information available on request, to those who may be interested.

thanks!

I was wondering how long it would take for UDK thread to pop up lol.

Well i currently model for UT40k, so have had tons of experience with the Unreal Engine. Now im planning on staying in UT40k, as its an awesome mod and i love it. Its just that sometimes when i await replies from the team leader(who only gets on once a day) on problems or questions i have i could be doing something better with my time; like say modeling for you guys.

Now as you may know already im a 3d modeler, with not many reference pics. I have models, but just couldnt be bothered taking pics. You can check UT40k's forums for pics of a tank im currently working on, and ive done a few weapons. Now my main priority would of course be UT40k, but id have no trouble modeling for you guys aswell. I wouldnt be able to handle deadlines too well though.

If you're interested chuck me a pm

Hi Zac,

Nice to know you're interested, although I'm afraid I'd need a solid commitment to the project in order to ensure that development is able to procede on some sort of schedule.

Thomas, I'm completely aware of the terms of the license.

well i would like to help out to even if its just for the experience
but like notoriginal, my spare time is random to :/
i have played around with all unrealeds except the verry first one (as it refused to start xP) and the unreal 2 one (just started it once, saw it was mostly the same as ut2k4 so i went back to that one xP

so maybe i could do some freelance stuff mkay? lol ;D

When and if you're looking for level-designers, would be nice if you give me a shout =]

haha tought so :p no biggy n_n good luck anyway

How do you intend balancing the publishers share of royalties after your first $5000?
Considering Epic takes an already large cut, and a publisher like Direct2Drive, Steam, or the like have a very good chance of doing the same (roughly 25-35%,) you anticipate that you will sell enough games at a lower price point to make money on the development time back?

Ey guy, I'm looking for a UDK project.

I've been mapping with Source for the last 3-4 years, but I'm now porting my knowledge to UE3 due to is accesible for commercial market and your project and curriculum sound good. I'm going to send you via emal the rest of the information about me ok? This way you can decide! See u!

Holy shit! I must make haste!!! D:

Hi Diviance,

I'm afraid I'm not looking for a writer, but thanks for the interest.

A quick and final bump - I've nearly assembled my core team, and am looking for a talented audio engineer to potentially fill in the final gap in our team.

Thanks!
