Enquiry into application
« on: August 24, 2008, 04:44:42 PM »
Hi,
I don't really have the time tonight for a serious investigation into this mod so I'll be brief. Basically, I am a professional game developer with a history of working on successful, released mods and I just finished Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts and the thing that was lacking for me was the absence of the USSR. After a quick search I came across this mod on mod-db and thought that I might put out my feelers and see if you guys are A - likely to release and B - likely to need my help doing so.

This is not a commitment to an application. It is just an attempt to get to know this project so that I can make up my mind at another date. I am a very experienced 3D artist as can be seen at my portfolio; newbielink:http://senor-freebie.deviantart.com/ [nonactive] and I can be contacted via email on these forums while at work although I cannot guarantee a swift reply as we're working pretty hard at the moment. If someone can find the time to let me know the situation / progress on this mod and to tell me what sort of work needs doing pre-release I will try to find some time to pump out a few good models for you guys.

The Eastern Front Mod is a very ambitious project, as are its developers. Implementing the Soviet Union into Company of Heroes is not an easy task, but we think the possible rewards in having fun could be enormous for the community of CoH as a whole.

Most of us are amateurs concerning game development, but our lead developers have previous modding experience (I myself worked on two other CoH mods before) and we are eager to get this project done. We have clear goals for our first release, which is the implementaion of the Soviet Union into CoH, together with some eastern front multiplayer maps. After this, we are aiming for an Eastern Front German faction and a singleplayer campaign.

Concerning things like game theories, like the unit lists, doctrines etc. are close to being final and are being programmed in. The artwork is definitely the biggest amount of work for a project like this. We have a skilled team for this job which is steadily working on it, but your experience would definitely be welcomed and valued.
