Ahoy looking to help

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I have wanted a game like this for a few years now and I would like to do what I can to help out.
I'm a 2nd Nations Native to Canada, Metis. I want to be part of the Game industry, and hope to be part of many ground breaking games and teams. To leave a mark, and have my name on something people can enjoy.

I'm a Graduate of Game Design and Art from Sheridan College here in Canada. Certificate in my Linked in below. Aswell as many examples portfolio links.

Over the past several years, I have created numerous video game levels, mods and Multiplayer Maps. I like to believe I have a very good eye for detail and balance, for example if just one single bush or rock isn't exactly touching the ground in the right way. I will notice it in my level, or in the game I'm playing.

Right now I'm using Unity5.1 Every single day to make my own Unity survival game I'm willing to show you footage from that in private if you wish.

In my Game I'm also using SUIMONO Water System.

I can use both JavaScript and C# as I use both in my game. I'm no programming guru tho. GAME 58823 - Artificial Intelligence for Game Level Design was part of my College course so I can hold my own. I got a B-Grade 80% plus, in that course.

My main strengths comes from Design, Level Design, Modeling, and Surface Textures.
Modeling I'm better at nature models, Architecture and some Animal Types.

I have played alot of burning seas and am very much looking forward to this game.
Aside from games I like to do Archery with my PSE Recurve bow, and some hunting, hiking.

Thank you for your time and careful consideration.

mate!

It looks like you fell through the cracks and have not gotten a proper welcome here. Your skillset looks like a very good fit here and hopefully the proper people will be along to get you fitted in.

Hi @Eric J Lavallee, welcome!

I'm sorry I missed your post last week. As much as I try to read all the new forum posts, I do occasionally miss some.

We would very much like to have you on the team, if you're still interested. Your skills are impressive and there should be no shortage of ways you could contribute to the project.
Since you have experience in both programming and 3D modelling, do you have a preference on which area you'd like to work on? Or some combination of both?

I more prefer Level Design, or 3d modeling.

In that case, you might like to help with building and populating the islands. We do need more people working on that, especially to create ports and small towns, at this stage.
How does that sound?

That sounds good, and fun to do.

Great, welcome to the team!

I've added you to the Terrain group. We don't have a Level Designer banner yet, but I'll sort one out soon.
@RobinPC is our Coordinator for the Terrain group, so I would suggest talking to him about what's been done so far and what still needs doing.

I assume we will have to have a meeting to discuss NDA, IP, and the future and your gameplan GDD links etc..

I have Teamspeak and Tox or can use something else if you wish. Facebook chat or something also works for me. Skype isn't private enough.

The design document as it stands can be found here: http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/revised-game-design-document.25227/
It is still evolving, and if you have any questions or ideas, feel free to post in that thread.

We also have a section on IP rights in our Team Policies thread. We don't have strict NDA policies as such, but we will make it clear if something is not to be made public.

Many of our team members do use Skype and we have a couple of groups on there, but it's not mandatory to use it. You can, of course, use private messages on this forum.
