With the recession I don't think it would be TOO hard to find someone. ^^

So I'm assuming you're starting work on Movement then? :D

I wonder if Movement will be the offline version of the multiplayer...or will it stand on its own feet? The anticipation is killing me. :)

I hope this is good news... as in ZPS got access to a wee bit more money and not bad news as in one of the current team members have to quit.

Afraid I dont really know anyone who fits the description but I am sure there must be some talented people out there who wants to join :)

I'd love to join the team but can't, studying IT here at Saarbruecken is more important right now.
Maybe I apply for a work placement in the future, wouldn't cost you a lot of money, would look good on my vita, I'd learn a bit more about engine coding while you would have another highly talented level- / game designer.

Also spreading the word for you. Good luck guys :-) !

Here is a small sample of my work.

i wish i lived close to you guys, even though im 15... i got a good grasp of 3ds max 8

a suggestion: possibly if your needing some misc objects you could put some sort of modeling compo and say you needed uhmmm... a gun rack?, so whoever has the ability to model would do so, then you guys would pick the best one and idk what a prize would be... exept you get to tell people that object you got to make it? idk really.

hope to donate to get to spearhead soon!

Wow, am I really the only one here over 13? (I'm 18 btw.)
Anyway, I sent you guys, at Zero Point Software, an application for an 3D Artist position, and I really hope you will read it and look at it with proffesional eyes, so to speak.

Anyway, I totally forgot to add in it, that I might be able to help out with level designs. It's not one of my strong areas, but I have experimented with it in the past. (Still do once in a while.)

But be sure to read through it and give me a heads up, I can't wait to hear from you!
