Introductions

mike- This information is critically important to the development of Titus! Do you know how to convert a model rigged with a Physique modifier over to a Skin modifier?

I will honestly say, I don't know how. I have used maya to animate, build, and texture. My main expertise is designing and drawing characters. I am very experienced with using photoshop! So if there is anything you need to know in that area, I am your man! 

As for a little bit about myself: Name's Austin John Jones, I have been drawing, painting, and playing video games MY ENTIRE LIFE! And saying that. Its what I am passionate about! I did some freelance preforming in my teenage years, juggling, riding unicycle, chinese yo-yo, AND I was even a contortionist! (I also tell jokes!  ) 

I went to High School at High Tech High, College at Art Center College of Design, majored in Illustration and minored in entertainment art! 

Some of my favorite games: Team Fortress 2, Portal, Portal 2, Half Life 2, ALLLLL the pokemon games! My current favorite game is Pokemon X and Y and I must say after only playing it for a week it has went above and BEYOND my expectations, doing what pokemon has never done before!!

But, if I have a soft spot for games: Fighting Games. SSB, Tekken, Battle Arena Toshinden 3, Mortal Combat, Kakuto Chojin, Soul Calibur, the list goes on!

Anyway I could say more about myself but that should give you a good idea! 

Great to be here everyone! 

Hi!
I'm Tavian Napier, I'll be one of the character animators for the team. I have a degree in animation and game design and I'm eager to start working on this game.

I love gaming, biking, philosophy and writing. I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember. I've worked as a game reviewer for the examiner.com and Worked at Gamestop for close to five years. Gaming is in my blood!

My favorite game of all time is Metal Gear Solid: Tactical Espionage. I love all kinds of fighting games, but my top three right now would be Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Dead or Alive 5 and SSBB

Let's make a great game together, it's a pleasure to meet you all.

You are now my best friend Jason, pleasure to meet you.

Yeah, I was considering setting up a topic like this myself. And I like the MGS series as well. I'm Brian Warner, and I'm the junior Unity developer. I'm a recent graduate of Devry University for Game and Simulation Programming. I did waste a year at the Art Institute beforehand, so I have been introduced to modeling and rigging in Max to an extent, and even worked with Maya before, though this is a very long time ago. Before this project, I only learned about the interface for Unity, so there is a learning curve I'm pushing through, though I've already learned a ton over the last week.

Other engines I've worked with are Unreal and Game Maker. I'm particularly experienced with using Game Maker Studio, almost to a fault. I can also create 8-bit sounds and simplistic 8-bit songs using a combination of Famitracker and Audacity as well as small special effect sprites, usually by modifying simple shapes and spamming filters. And they aren't my specialty in the least, but I can be fairly resourceful.

Fighting games and rhythm games are my top skill-based genres. This includes games like BlazBlue, Smash Bros, Guitar Hero, and Stepmania/FFR. The last in particular I spent a few years with, though I only play keyboard spread style. I could mash through almost any song without breaking a sweat, sometimes without looking at the screen depending on how lax the timing is and how compacted the arrows are. I used to play it on-campus while I was in college just for the reactions. Otherwise, I play a fairly wide range of genres depending on what suits my mood. League of Legends is what I've been playing most recently, mainly in solo queue ARAM normal games. I managed to hit the level cap within a month. I've never been entirely top-notch at a particular game, but I tend to go slightly beyond casual regardless of what I'm playing, unless it's FPS.

That'd be a neat idea. I don't have much of an issue sharing it here, so my steam account is the same as my user name if anyone would like to add me.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe we can make a steam group or something.
