Ruiner Mod now Hiring! news

We are currently looking for animators and environmental artist to help complete the Ruiner mod in time for a 2009 release. These positions are both short and long term. If you only have time to do one level or a couple of animations, that is OK.

Requirements and information on each position:

Animator Duties:
-Help expand the animations of many enemies in Doom3. Ruiner features a new full locational based pain reaction system.

The system is working, the content just needs to be made

-Help create new player animations. Ruiner features a combo system which allows the player to perform many different types of moves and attacks with each weapons. The animator can add in almost any type of moves or combos they can think of. Good examples of moves that can be done are in games like Devil May Cry, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and God of War.
