The Rookie Project

Hello Blender-artist community, my name is Samuel Moxham and I am the director of the Rookie Project.

I believe the project has made overwhelming progress, with nine members joining the project over the last few weeks.
It’s because of this progress I am happy to announce the first Alpha version of this game will be released on the 12/05/2013 (that’s day/month/year, I’m from New Zealand you see). This Alpha will feature three areas of the map, Incanto College exterior, interior and basement. These will be free to roam.

The aim of this Alpha is to try and create an identity in which our game will look, such as the style of modeling.

Alpha 2 will be released on the 01/06/2013, and this will also include new map areas such as North-Western end village and South-Eastern end village. Along with the maps, we will also add the main character and basic controls (yes this does mean people may begin zapping things with wands).

Edit: Just to clarify more about the game. It will be a RPG game set in Incanto, a valley which has been heavily affected by the war. Inside the valley is the Incanto village and Incanto college where village itself is neutral to the war, but the colleges activity has slowly driven the village into poverty.
The main character steps into a new land and is split between trusting the college he is studying at or helping the needs of the villagers.

The game will be made in the ‘Blender Game Engine’.

We are still looking for more keen artists to apply covering all fields of game development.

I said we are making “overwhelming progress”, but I did not provide much physical evidence, did I?

The game is going to be free-software, which means shortly we will be allowing all models, textures, programs, animations and music to be freely edited and modified by whoever feels up to it.

Here are a few pictures of what some object will look like inside the blender internal game engine:



Please give feedback! Throw a reply this way, or if you want to join up with the project visit the website!
I will add lots more in the time to come.

i like this!
but you should post more info about the project, like, are you using the BGE or another engine?, what is the game about?
anyway, i have a good feeling about this project, the models look good, and you seem to have a very organized team, that is not something common these days
also, can`t wait to play the alpha!
keep it up!

Cheers for the response luc.ki. I made a edit to the main post added a little bit about the story. Most the information needed can be found on the RookieProject website. http://www.rookieproject.com/

This looks pretty interesting, im new-ish to blender but come from a professional graphic design / illustration / scene modelling background.

I would just like to offer a little help with the overall look to the game and offer advice from the eyes of an artist who loves this genre.
