Hello!
I’m starting a new company that sells 3d models, textures, and sprites for sale to independent game developers. I know that there are other sites out there doing the same thing. My business is different, since the focus is to bring together artists to work on resources (like 3d models), and pay each person royalties for their portion of the work.
In other words, you don’t have to do the whole thing yourself.
Artists will be building 3d models on teams. The resulting models will be sold at www.gamebeep.com.
I’m a game programmer myself, and this idea cropped up while working on a project. I was looking around the net, trying to find some good fantasy monster models for sale. It was alarming how few affordable, quality, low polygon monster models I found. This is my humble attempt at filling that hole.
Let’s pretend that you’re a concept artist, and you draw the concept for a “Death Knight”. You will receive 16% (royalties may vary) from the sales of the completed model based on your concept. Royalties will be paid out monthly. Artists can track their sales via the website. Almost every portion of website is automated, from electronic delivery, to artist maintenance. I’ll admit that this business is not guaranteed to succeed, but I do know that there is demand for what I want to sell.
Initial projects will focus on low poly 3d environment objects for fantasy style video games, such as: ancient statues, stone totems, barrels, bags of grain, crypt stuff, treasure chest, weapons, tapestry, trunks and boxes, furniture (bed, stool, table), lighting (candles, lamps, etc) , bookshelves, plants… and more.
If you are interested in contributing to a project, please contact me at clone45-gamebeep1@mailblocks.com. In order to keep quality at a premium, I reserve the right to refuse any work that doesn’t meet my standards for quality and style. Contact me and I’d be happy to take a look at your work.
If you wish to sell your completed resources on Game Beep, that can be arranged as well.
Thank you!
