Sanctus Legacy Online :: Audio artists: music AND sound, please.

Team name: Trillaem Games, LLC Project name: Sanctus Legacy Online Brief description: Sanctus Legacy Online is a 3d fantasy MMORPG established in late 2003. Our core team has proven to be dedicated, hardworking, and talented. We are taking our goal seriously, working diligently from milestone to milestone, but maintain the relaxed atmosphere that makes the hobbyist community so great. (More info) Target aim: Free beta period, free trial version. If we make it far along, a cheap P2P subscription'd be nice, but nobody on the team is here to get rich quick. Ultimately, we just want to get this done, and get it done right. (More info) Compensation: Developers' contracts instate a low minimum percentage of potential returns, as well as accreditation. Future revisions to the contract will reflect higher percentage of returns for each individual. (More info) Technology: We're using OGRE rendering engine and Raknet networking engine. More information about our library componentry available to anyone wanting to know. OGRE's native model formats are the .mesh, .skeleton, and .material: we've been able to export all three from both Blender and 3DS. So far, we've found OGRE's artistic pipeline to be smooth and simple: much more versatile and easier to get along with than most of the other engines we've looked into. Our audio library will, more likely than not, be OpenAL- although we still have room and time to make further discussion and decisions. We prefer to use the .ogg format for audio, as its compression is very powerful and it requires no costly license. Talent needed: The summer has brought some changes to our team, and we've had to say goodbye to two or three talented artists who we are yet to truly replace. These artistic positions include 3d modeling, unwrapping, rigging, and animation. Additionally, we are always looking for anyone with a knack for graphic arts or texturing. Additionally, we are taking applications for audio artists. Our lead audio artist, Jason Koohi, is still with the team, but we have been searching for a coworker for him for quite some time, and one of our most recent applicants has bowed out, due to personal time constraints. We'd like to find someone with a knack not only for music, but for audio. Obviously, we allow and encourage any musical contributions you may be willing to add (and we especially encourage cojoint work between you and Jason), but our primary need is not in music, but in sound engineering for:

• Voiceovers
• Creature sounds
• Ambient and environmental sounds
• Interface ("gui") sounds

Team structure: The core team consists of about 15 members, covering bases in all primary areas of development. Additionally, we usually have a volunteer group ranging from 5 to 15 additional members at any given time. For more complete information about what I do and what the other team members do, please visit the "Team Member Profiles" section of our website. Website: http://www.sanctuslegacy.com/ Current website is functional and contains some useful information, but another is in the process of being created that will contain more end-user related material, such as design information, lore, bestiaries, and the other "cool stuff" that end users like to see. For now, if you're interested in knowing more about the game's story, environment, or look/style, check out the development forums, and shoot a PM to TheArtifex. Also, keep an eye on this thread for leaks and renders, and feel free to request any specific information you'd like to see. I'm all ears, and ready to answer whatever questions you've got.

Our in-game look is not anime: despite the somewhat anime-influenced nature of our concept artists. Rather, in-game look and feel will be much more towards the realistic end of the stylization spectrum- we often like to compare the look we're aiming for to Fable or some of the more recent Final Fantasy games.

I can take the heat. If you've got a critique or concern, voice it here: or if you'd prefer to take it somewhere else, visit our Forum. If you think this post deserves to see the front page a little longer, then think up a good question and ask it. ;)
