3. How are we planning to do it ?

 The work that has been done so far  includes a 2d demo of the game that is available for a the minimal donation  or at out website.

 Here are some highlights of the project

• Project development started in the early spring of 2009
• Active development began  during winter 2010
• Development is done remotely for now (no physical office)
• Тeam members live all across the globe : Russia, Ukraine, United States
• Regardless the fact that our team is young and this is our first project together, each team member has enough skill and qualification to make the project come to life.

Methods 

• Team members actively use Skype to communicate with each other.
• A dedicated forum allows for a quick access to all project’s resources at all time
• Project director gives detailed description of the basic game elements and structures and they are being further discussed with h the rest of the team, taking into consideration the supposed target audience’s opinion and latest gaming industry influences.
• Project manager communicates all necessary information between the director and other team members back and forth making sure it is correct and always up to date.
• All graphic content creation (including concept art, models, animation) starts with a live discussion among all team members.
• Concept artists use drawing tablets and Adobe Photoshop
• Matte painters use references from the image database, create sketches and then finalize them in Adobe Photoshop.
• Sometimes animators use freeware Motion capture libraries, but most of the animations are done from scratch in Autodesk Maya and 3D Max.

4. What the money is for

 With you help we will expand the project and take it into 3d, making the gaming experience even more enjoyable. We will need at least $ 5000 to buy the game engine we need and the rest of the money will fund further work of three visual artists, three 3-d sculptors, two animators, one composer , one sound designer, two programmers and a manager. And all of us will work closely on the game and level design.

With our special rewards system you will also get a chance to take part in the creation of this game by joining the developers forum and maybe add your own locations, monsters or other features.

We are building a VIP developer forum with fun activities like putting a face of your choice on one of our monsters . Weekly activities will be something like  sending us your photo so we can make it look like you are standing in the middle of the post-apocalyptic town, or recreating you own flat or maybe a whole block where you live  as a part of the playable area or maybe even be a voice behind one of our characters. The more you donate the more significant you input will be.  This is going to be a lot of fun which will also include testing the recently finished game levels
