Asterix Mod for UT - looking for Artists and Coders!

[gsraout]

HI,

We plan to create a mod for UT where we have Asterix, Obelix and other Gauls fighting Romans !!

Anybody who is a sucker for FPS games based on MEDIVAL AGE themes - bows, arrows, swords, piliums, etc. - this is for them!!

We have already have some weapons (bows, arrows) and a charecter (Asterix) inserted into UT.

We are look mainly for artist who have expertise in Maya/3ds max/Milkshape 3d and Adobe photoshope who can model, texture and animate charecters and do level design using the unreal editor.

We have couple of coders already but anybody who is very interested and has new ideas is welcome to join!!

Deadline is May 30 ( we have 6 weeks !)

For more information look at -

Interested? Contact me ASAP! (srao3@uncc.edu , gsrao@rocketmail.com) or reply to this post !

Thanks,
Rao.

Isn't that character "Asterix" from some sort of cartoon or strip or something?
I think that's copyrighted material, but don't quote me on that. You may want to look that up though. Don't think you can enter the contest with copyrighted characters.

Holy ****. 6 weeks is nowhere near enough time to pull something that ambitious off. No way in hell.

You will be lucky to have a decent team in 6 weeks, let alone a finished product.

Hey Guys,

Since I am not "selling" this mod commercially, I think it would be OK.. also, we can change names ( Asterix to LittleGaul etc.) and the charecters could be "loosely based" on the charecters.. Also, there already was a game with these charecters for Xbox by ubisoft I guess.. was discontinued for some reason.. anyway...

Also, as per second question - we already have stuff in place.. looking for more Art - and Phase 3 we are not as ambitious.. may be will be more ambitious for Phase 4!

It's irrelevant whether you're making money or not. See Unreal Wiki: Mod Copyright.

You have to get permission before you release anything based on something that's subject to copyright.

Hi,

Ok, I will not use the same charecters.. but diff ones.. it will be based along medival times and use bows, arrows, etc.. I will NOT use the "Asterix" or any related charecters..

Thanks for info.,
