Toolmaker Wanted:

Hey, I'm working on a spaceshooter. I'm looking for someone to help me by producing the tools alongside: level creator, ship creator, etc.

Let me know if you're interested, or want more information.

Thanks,
Will.

I have a pretty cool collision system that would work well for a shooter. Now only if the editor was better. I am willing to work on it though. What kind of shooter is this? Ikaruga/Mushihimesama? or something more like one of the 360 shooters?

The actual engine is mostly in place - so things like collision are already setup.

The shooter is a very complex 360 style shooter. Think escape velocity: nova with much greater combat and ship complexities.

I'm going to email you dan :)

Also, my AIM is a good way to get ahold of me: RenderedOne

I want more information.

The objectives are allot like battlefield 1942: capturing spawn points. The ships are built out of multiple components, and each of the components can be destroyed separately, changing the ships capabilities on the fly. Large capital ships will be about 20 times the length of a fighter, when you fly one, you're view will zoom out and fighters will be represented as green and red triangles around you - your focus being mostly on smashing other large ships.

The engine is very advanced for a 360 style shooter, but the content pipeline isn't great: hence the need for tools. There aren't any ships taking advantage of all the engine has to offer at the moment, but heres a screenshot of a few-assets code test:

Looks great. I'll check my email when I get home later today.
