Hi, my name is Alex, me and a few people are creating a MoBa style (Dota, Dota2, LoL, HoN) game that can be played on the iPhone.
NOTE: we do have a dedicated person for networking BUT we aren't planning on doing any networking for this. it will be AI
things are going pretty well, but we have one dilema....:-|
We don't have any artists!! So we need to find some that can capture our idea, and really bring it to life!
The Idea & Project
the idea is to make a mobile version of LoL/HoN (League of Legends / Heroes of Newerth).
There will be two sides. Both sides will contain a small base, and a couple towers that will defend the inner sanctum. and each side must destroy the other sides to win.
However, there are differences (which will discuss later on with the artists).
The Art Style
Our preferred art style is cartoonish/chibi, BUT were still open to suggestions.
Here is a few pictures to have the idea of what were looking for.
Twitch (LoL)"
xin zhao (LoL)
Flint Beastwood (HoN)
Annie (LoL)
Twisted Fate (LoL)
Slither (HoN)
NOTE: WE ARE GOING FOR AN ORIGINAL STYLE, AND NOT COPYING THESE HEROES.
Were looking for 2 types of artists right now.
- Concept Artist
- 3D Artist
What we will need later on.
- Texture Artist
- Animator
Compensation
It will be split among all people involved in this project evenly.
Work Done
We are still in the early stages of development, but we wanted to show you that we are serious about this project, and we are building off it.
Action - RTS Video 1
Keep in mind, we have no actual artists, so its all cubes/circles/etc.
will keep you posted!!
Update: 3/4/2012
Hey guys!, here is an update on our progress, and wanted to show you how its going.
New Video is up:
Action - RTS Video 2
Few Concept Images:
Concept Image One
Concept Image One
Remember: Were still looking for more artists, and need a 3D modeler/Concept Artist.
Will need a texture artist as well, very soon!!!!!!
thanks!!

This is amazing! I wish I had the skills for this..
Need more souls.. !
Id like to contribute one line of text to a character, heck you can name the character after me if you like. The character will say the unit response of "Hi"
Let me know when the profits start coming in so i can collect my share, thanks.

Good to hear the initiative taken by you guys! Wish I had any skills that could aid you, unfortuenately I believe this ain't the case
Dat sig you can't see
What is the time frame for this? I have experience with 3D modeling and texturing, but have a pretty heavy school load right now.
I'd love to work for you but unfortunately I'm swamped with school and other freelance assignments right now. I could draw up some sketches if you need them (or work for you full-time once I have this other freelance assignment out of the way), but I'm not sure what you mean with that "compensation" part; do you mean you expect someone to work for you and then hope to make profit which will be split among the crew? Or do you have a budget?
Edit: Oh, and have you considered looking around in the Fan Media section? There's a section that has all of the members' portfolios in it as well: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/forumdisplay.php?f=32 .

Need some programmers?
As much as I'm a proponent of the iPhone and other mobile devices being serious gaming platforms, I don't see how you could get a MOBA style game to work.
I was playing GTA3 this morning and as cool as it was to be playing it on my phone...the whole time I was wishing there was a controller attachment. ARPG, casual RTS, and casual arcade style games work wonders on the platform...but any game that requires more than simple 1-2 button mashing seems to fall completely flat.
Hey,
I'm glad to hear alot of people are interested in the project
I'll try and answer everyones questions
Yes we do need concepts, and 3D modelers right now. We will need texture artist later on.
This project is still in very early development, so we don't have a set date yet for completion.
Right now we don't need another programmer but if you can program in c# we may need another one later. Currently it's just me and a friend programming, + one artist.
Yes we need to make changes to this game since we can't copy a game like Dota or hon onto the iPhone. So there are changes made that we will discuss with the artist.

the game kind of loses its charm in single player mode...
You would probably be better served with a 2d side scrolling set up instead of a top down perspective. holding down in front of or being you hero would move them, taping on some thing would attack, and you would use the upper corners for two abilities and a large middle bar for an ult. Then you just need to design heroes that work well with 2 abilities and an ult who are also interesting. (would probably abolish the skill leveling system and just have every thing auto level up)

Hi,
I took a look at your portfolio, and your quite good!, I would love to have you on board if you can spare the time
I just took a look at it, and I am going to make a post their, thank you for the suggestion
As for the compensation. there is no budget, its strictly just people who are apart of the project at the moment, however, when we finish it, any profits made are split among people who are dedicated in the project.
I am looking into getting investors involved, but that will be later, once we have much more to showcase.

I'm shocked and hurt, but mostly shocked. I legitimately wanted free money.Silly troll

are you planning to develop it crossplatform?
(Unity seems to make it pretty easy)
..
Still need artists!!

I'm sorry but I can't really afford to do unpaid jobs. Good luck with your project though

I sent you a message, although I'm not sure it went through. Anyways, my email's samhorton (at) live (dot) com. I've worked as a 3D/2D artist for some AAA titles, so I'd be up for a small project like this.
Have you? Can I see your portfolio?
