We are looking for an expert programmer to build the groundwork for an open-world space MMO in CryEngine 3.7. There will be several milestones to achieve, along with the potential for future work when they are finished. Milestone #1 (~$300): Create simple open-space area where players can login and fly around in a generic space ship that complies with the laws of physics in space. Movement must also be configurable to work with standard joysticks (for example, the X52). Milestone #2 (~$700): Modify the level architecture such that a ship can fly any amount of distance without having to display a loading screen or swapping levels. I.E., flying anywhere from one end of a solar system down to the surface of a planet. Milestone #3 (~$1000): Create a system which procedurally generates solar systems (and their contents such as stars and planets) in the galaxy, although with reference to existing information we have about stars/planets in our universe. There needs to be a 3D map to visualize the created systems, both on a system level (view of system stars/planets) and a galactic level (view of solar systems in the galaxy). See the attached pictures for samples of well-done maps done in similar games. Milestone #4 (~$700): Develop a "wormhole" architecture such that a ship can pass from one solar system to the next after passing through the wormhole (like a portal). The transition needs to be seamless in the sense that we prefer not to show a loading screen, but rather have the assets loaded in the background. Milestone #5 (~$500): Develop a system where ships can dock at stations (either in space or on planets), which should open an interface the user can interact with. Milestone #6 (~$300): Develop a simple market system where goods can be bought or sold between stations. The goods a particular planet/station has should be determined as part of the procedural generation system in accordance with the resources it has available nearby. Milestone #7 (~$1500): Develop a basic ship outfitting UI where the acquisition of various ship parts alters the look and performance of the ship. Allow for customization of weapons and ship to ship combat with these weapons. More work and more milestones to follow. Project funding is backed by a $100,000 grant. Assets will be provided for ships, ship components, planets, stations, etc. Milestone prices are estimates; willing to negotiate different values on an as-needed basis.
