Halo Fan Game "Installation 01" March 2015 Update!

[TheChunkierBean]

 

July 2014 (CE3 2014 Demo)

 

 

March 2015 (Current Build)

 

Before I get started, I want to say that past recruitment from this site has been great, with the help of talent we picked up here Installation 01 has gone from a concept build in July 2014 (CE3 2014) to the sexiness you see up above. (note: the BR is a placeholder model) 

 

We’ve been delayed by massive reworkings of the game itself for greater stability and modularity, critical elements in a community-oriented game. Being a fan team, we can’t make any money, not even from donations, so we are doing this in our spare time. Professionals, students, and passionate Halo fans coming together with whatever free hours they have. We are making something that we’ve craved for a long time, a full Halo game for PC, Linux, and Mac, boasting classic gameplay and game modes from multiple Halo titles, all bundled into a shiny package of modern graphics. 

 

Positions we need filled so this project moves faster:

 

Programmers:

• Proficient in C#. 

• Unity or other comparable game experience.

• Capable of using Github.

• Willingness to communicate well with our senior engineers.

• A team player.

 

Artists: 

-2D-

• Knowledge of GIMP, Photoshop, or any other comparable 2D graphics program. Largely needed for UI and texture work.

• Willing to work on assigned projects within their deadlines. (we aren’t super hardcore about this, 

but this is more about not signing up for anything you know you can’t finish on time).

• Knowledge of 3D modeling is a plus, but not required. 

 

-3D-

• Skills with any widely used 3D modeling software, such as Blender, Max, or Maya. Zbrush is also • welcomed. 

• Work within deadlines (once again, we don’t have a lot of deadlines, just know your limits)

• Be comfortable with assigned tasks from senior modelers. 

• Doesn't matter if you prefer environmental, structural, or organic modeling, we need you.

• Knowing how to texture models well is a plus, but is not required. 

 

Sound and recording:

• Own/have constant access to professional sound equipment and software. 

• Have experience with sound design for games or professional videos. 

• Willingness to adapt to whatever is needed at the moment. (voice, gun shots, birdsong, etc.) 

 

If you wish to help out as any of those roles, just comment here about it and one of the team members will get back to you soon

 

NOTE: We are abiding by Microsoft’s Fair Use Policy, hence why we cannot make any money off the project, and why we must build everything ourselves, we cannot distribute “rips” of any kind from any Halo game. This is a community project, there is no chance for profit, the only reward for our devs is that they have the satisfaction of making a small dream into reality. 

 

Thanks for reading, here’s some more eye candy:

God that looks good! I wish I could help but I'm useless with that kind of thing. Keep up the good work!

[Caboose The Ace]

Hope the project continues to go well.

 

Sadly I cannot help but I wish you and all your team the best.

For Linux? NOICE.

 

I really hope Chrome OS supports it and is supported itself, that way I can have a grasp of this amazing game you have in development. Even be able to play the demo.

 

The fact that I'm no good for helping out in anyway possible, makes it sad for me that I cannot help the development. I wish you the best.

This looks great, I'm looking forward to seeing the final product.

Is this the project that launched and then dived last year - I remember speaking to someone and advising on the programming side

Do you need a lore guy?

 

 

If not, then please don't use halo nation for lore info. That's all.
