Roles to Fill: 3D Animators/3D Modelers, C# Programmers , Game Designers/UI Designers, Game Sound Engineers
We are small group with a 3-4 person crew looking for motivated individuals to join our startup game.
The ideal participant can work from home. We welcome students and hobbyists of all ages to contribute to our project to help build, design, skin/model, or do sound engineering in this 3D game who are familiar with Unity3D.
We are currently funding the project out of pocket meaning compensation will be rewarded to active participants in terms of revenue-share contract. Our projects involves Standard FPS Shooter Dynamics cloning that of Source Engine's Counter Strike Source and primary centered around the surfing mod and it's combat. Permanent employment is a potential opportunity here once we go live for public access within a year of testing.

The Project will be built using Unity engine, Unity 2019.1.0b4 beta to be exact. Any contributing skills would be helpful.
Great River is a Unity game made with Forge networking. The final product will be a standalone & polished version of the surf_greatriver map from the Counter Strike: Source Workshop. This game will be developed as a NON-PAY-TO-WIN platform and will feature improved UI, map details/ systems, and textures that will make Great River a standalone title worth playing.
Dakota is actively seeking developers to aid in finishing this project.

Incomplete Core Tasks:
Master server registration. This is very easy to setup with Forge though.
NAT Punchthrough server. Forge offers a natpunch which I'm not using for this project.
Server browser. This project is direct connect only, however Forge comes with examples of both a lobby system and a server browser.
An actual gamemode, however everything you need for creating your own is there (A gamemode class)
Any sounds at all 
No options menu! The game is using some post processing that you can't turn off ingame. If you computer is struggling to run this, disable it on the player's camera.
