Project ANI - Browser Based 3D Virtual Pet Game
Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 6:07 pm
Alright, I guess it's about time I show what I've been up to.
What is Project ANI?
I'm happy that you've asked. ProjectANI is a 3D Virtual Pets game because it is intended to run on a website I am tempeted to draw parallels to sites such as Neopets but in reality it's quite a bit different.
ProjectANI was primarily influenced by Pokemon, Digimon, and Monster Rancher (there are a few other influences in there like the Chao Garden from sonic and Tamagotchi pets but mostly those.). So like those games, you play as a creature journeying the world while training a virtual pet of your choice (well, it's more like creation in our case).
What is the technology?
The client is the Unity webplayer. On the backend there are a lot of things, some I can't say because deals aren't finalized and press releases haven't been made. The rest just doesn't have a name because it's homebrew.
Concept Art
I'm to lazy to upload everything somewhere else, so you can find all of the currently public media here: http://project-ani.deviantart.com/gallery/
That's also where you would check as more things get posted.
More Information?

I'll put up an actual website after we hammer out all the relevant naming details.
Also Hiring!
We are looking for the following:
[*] 3D modelers, someone comfortable doing 3D models for a variety of little creatures.
[*] Environmental Artists, Someone who can draw the landscape of the world.
[*] Animators, large body of animation work needs to be done. For playable character body types, NPCs, and the inhabitants of the world.
[*] Front-end Web Developer, HTML5, CSS3, node.js experience a plus.
[*] Graphics Designer (With experience in UX)
- All of these are paid Independent Contractor Positions, with the option for full-time salaried positions in the future.
