Hi.

The name of the game is Ash Dawn

We've finally gotten it to the point were the gameplay is mostly complete and we have a running server for anyone to log in and play. We are currently a team of 2 and we've been working on this game for the last 4 years.

Feel free to try it out. You can download it from the website (ashdawn.net)

Most of the models currently in the game are placeholders. We are at the point were we would like one or two skilled modelers to start redoing the placeholders and then after that start creating new models for new areas.



At this point we would firstly like to focus on the player model including various armour/weapons and secondly on static terrain objects (houses, trees, rocks etc).

You'l notice that its a cell shaded game with a "anime"ish look. Ive found a couple of cell shaded games which style I really like but unfortunately the characters are usually very child like whereas I want more adult looking characters. After google image searching for long enough I found a game that has a character art style that's more or less what I'm looking for. Its Fire Emblem. Here's one nice gif image I found that shows some of the characters. This can be used as a starting point discussing character art style. Its not set in stone.



The game itself is free. We are planning on doing microtransaction and we already have one functional item that you can buy ingame as a test but making money really isn't the aim here. As such I cant promise any payment. If this were to turn into a commercial success then of course we will be fair but that should not be the reason you join us.

Since the game is already live any models that you make or change can be patched into the game quickly and we can add your name to the credits as soon as you start contributing.

Let me know if you're interested and we can work out the details or feel free to ask any other questions in this thread.
