Hi All,
We are a team of students who are doing their master’s at USC with games as our Major
We would love to collaborate with any one who is interested and passionate about our idea.
At USC Games we have a year long project called the Advanced Game Project, during which we create a full scale high quality game and we have a Demo Day every FALL and SPRING showcasing these projects to many industry people.
Sometimes these projects also go beyond the school and get published.
Below is a link for trailers of student games made at USC

What students get out of this project:
Experience in working with a huge team and a full scale game project, Beautiful portfolio pieces, Feedback, from our very experienced professors, Exposure to industry people (As mentioned above we have a demo day, which many industry people and recruiters attend. We get to advertise our project and this has proved to be very helpful in landing great jobs)
Introduction about our game:
Our game is called: SWARM
Swarm is a bug themed, third person multi-player online battle arena ( MOBA ) where the common central mechanic of pointing and clicking with a mouse is replaced with realtime fighting mechanics via handheld controls (like PS4 or XBOX controller). Swarm fuses the strategy of a MOBA (the macro) with the high speed decision making of a fighter game (the micro).
The Story:
Two powerful bug colonies occupy mutual territory, one which lacks enough resources for both to prosper. Therefore, each colony has no choice but to destroy the other, which must be done by annihilating the nest in which the enemy colonys progeny, the larvae , develops. The world of bugs is cruel. There is no consideration for ones life, only ones kind. The choice is clear: genocide or extinction!
Note: We can send you the Design Document if anyone needs further information regarding the project
So so far we have a small team(which is expanding every day)
Current: 8 engineers, 4 Designers, 3 Concept artists, 2 3D Artists and a Producer
What we need help with: 3D Modeling, Texturing, Rigging, Animation, Also, if anyone knows Unreal Engine it’s a huge plus for us.
If anyone is interested please contact: swarm.agp@gmail.com for further details
