this post comes it two parts:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. when i got a smart phone (weeks ago) i scoured the market & reviews as a very picky gamer. i found ST & it wasn't my cup of tea, but i still marveled at Star Trader. i looked further into you guys because it was such shock to see something like that. so small, yet - so big. so basic, yet - so complex. genius. this is it. i had to see what else you guys were doing...

i was excited to read about an RPG engine (very sorry, forgot the name) that you based ANOTHER game, Cyber Knights, on. i checked that out & went elite. my cup of tea, indeed! haha... anyway, i digress. i have read a lot of the boards, just didn't post much. so i feel like i know you guys a lot better than you know me. ;D
but, thanks for having me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. do you guys have your bases covered, as far as an art department goes?

i draw, sculpt, oil paint, etc... usually pretty dark stuff.
i could help make somethings more sexy, or more brutal...
(not that CK needs it! - you guys set the mood very well)

i assume that you guys have plenty of 'artists' who can help,
but maybe you don't? i love side projects, and im looking for something else to do.

i don't want anything for it, just wanted to offer my talent...
just in case? who knows?
lemme know if you wanna see my stuff.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

i dunno - just a random thought.
thanks guys, for all the hard work!
totally - freakin - amazing

by reading more, i see that i should be addressing Fallen...
(maybe even Andrew <?> for web-site stuff)

*shrug*

i just wanted to say one more thing.

my god, i hope you don't take this as negative criticism,
because you two set a wonderful scene.

i only wrote this cause i have free time (i love your game) & i had a feeling you might be swamped?

really, if none of this pans out...
i'll prolly just do fan art & fan fiction for others to peruse!

every time i check this board, it makes me turn on the game ;D
and i feel all creative... hahaha... former GM/DM here.

Fallen = Andrew

;D

nyktos - sorry for the late reply. I'm not offended, I just have been doing a boat-load of travel for weeks now (3) and my forum attendance has been reprehensible.

We do have two other artists working on secret projects that have to be kept quiet (ref: Trese brother gathering in the western US). At this point, we do get a lot of interest from community members and others in helping out or joining the team, but we aren't at a point where we can scale in that way effectively. So, I hope you won't take it as an insult that right now we can't possibly pull more work into the umbrella, from any direction.

However, if you PM me, I'd love to look at your portfolio! If we can continue to get 5 stars and more market traction (tell your friends!), we may someday be able to expand a little, so its worth sharing early =}

Did you do your forum sprite?

Also, the game engine's name is StoryTeller. Cyber Knights is built on it, as will be Secrets of Steel and ... others!

[nyktos]

very understandable & best of luck to you guys...
i look forward to seeing this project unfurl.

-----------------------random tangent / rant---------------------------------
so much garbage to filter through out there, not just phone games
but all video games...

graphics & gore get most of the spotlight
major labels hog shelf space - stale ideas & substandard sequels...

i know its all been said before...
and i love viscera as much as the next Knight,
but i want the guts, passion & creativity that spawn titles like this.

its (CK) always left me with a certain''feeling''
as an artist, that's usually my only clear objective
- convey something -
don't just slap it together because you know it will sell

so much has changed as the game grows,
but that ''feeling'' is still there, and stronger.
this is ART people!!!
(feeling the need to smack people who left less than 4*)

for me, its like watching a child age into adulthood.
and in short, this is already a raving success...
even in beta it has accomplished what i see FAILING so often
----------------------------end transmission-----------------------------------
yeah... *sigh* anyway...

totally stole this sprite, just wanted something quick to look at...
i'll custom something eventually. ~knight-style~

but i'll be sure to PM some stuff & spread the word too.
im gonna go get ST elite, just to prove my point.
keep it up guys!!!

(i guess i should explain 'my point')
--i don't plan on playing ST:E--
-just supporting the cause-

i need better armor these days,
so i gotta go hit up some contacts...
