A lot of the tools used are free and we have quite a few volunteers that would be happy to teach you!

Well, i have to say, first of all, thanks, but second, i REALLY suck with modelling, i just can't (and i've tried, a lot of times :P) i've told some of my friends if they are interested anyways :)
Some day, if i have time, i'll try to join and help a little, but for now, i will only give my feedback :D

There are lots of roles you could help with. Anything from modeling, scripting, QC, even as simple as publicity (going on sites and telling about the game). As we are all volunteer, we like to think that everyone has a role to play!

Hello there, my names George and I was just wondering if I could work on a ship? I'm a fully qualified carpenter and this looks like an astounding project that I'd like to be involved in.

Cheers

Hi, I am a hobby musician that owns a home studio. I know how to mix and master properly. Only thing is that mainly compose rock / metal. But I would love to try other genres. And since I love all kind of music I think I could actually make some pretty badass music for you guys.
I am currently hired for another game music project (they found my youtube page and was impressed by my work), but I still have time for another project too I think.
I love the Pirates Of Caribbean themes (one of my favourite musical scores ever).
PM me if this sounds interesting. I can then send you my portfolio so you can see the quality of my work.

- Tom
