Ask HN: Anyone working on a game?
Dear HN,
I am wondering if there are any startups working on games? If so, what kind of games and what platform are you targeting?
We ourselves are working on a GTA-like game, which will be set in a different time, however. We are a very small team - currently 2 people. The biggest challenge is 3d modeling - we are working exclusively on our own tool to generate the game world semi-automatically. The only input will be a map and "skins" - and these skins will be modified by an artist. We hope to make the artist at least 10 times more productive than the norm - since we couldn't afford to hire 10 graphics guys :-), we need to make him super productive...
