If you’ve ever wanted to help make a game, now is your big chance – Wasteland 2 dev inXile Entertainment has teamed up with Unity Technologies to shop out 3D modelling work to fans as part of a “crowdsourcing experiment”.
Each week, the studio will provide 2D concept artwork of required in-game assets, and fans are invited to create and submit their own 3D models based on these.
According to the press stuff, “By opening up the creative process behind their art asset creation, inXile will be able to work with their fans to increase the overall game experience and free up their internal team to focus on elements that directly impact the gameplay of Wasteland 2.”
And they’ll score some cheap labour, although any work chosen to be included in the game will apparently be credited to the artist and paid for.
If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, make sure to check up on inXile’s website to find out what needs doing, and how to go about doing it. That post-apocalypse won’t make itself, you know.
