Basic Information
I am seeking an experienced mapper skilled in creating large-scale, city-like maps with intricate layouts and rich design elements. Specifically, I am looking for someone to develop a brand-new layout for the classic City 8 Half-Life 2 Roleplay map, originally created by Dave Brown for the Taco N' Banana roleplaying community.
There are six original maps available as reference points, along with four fan-made edits. I want the new layout to stay true to the original assets as much as possible (with the optional possibility of upscaling old textures) while allowing for the inclusion of new assets if they fit the style and quality of the original design. An additional budget can be discussed for custom assets or other extra work if you are passionate about expanding the project further.
Payment Terms
Payment will be made exclusively through PayPal in three parts:
- $100 USD upfront at the start of the project.
- $150 USD upon reaching a significant, yet undetermined, milestone.
- $250 USD upon project completion.
The total payment will amount to $500 USD. Note, that all payments will be processed through PayPal's Buyer Protection program — attempts to abandon the project or run off with the payment without completing the work will result in a chargeback dispute through PayPal.
Ownership and Credit
Upon completion, full ownership of the map will be transferred to me and my team. The map will be uploaded to the Steam Workshop under my account, allowing for possible future changes or additions. Full credit will be clearly and visibly attributed to the map creator for as long as the map remains on the workshop. No official edits of the map will be permitted for the foreseeable future.
Requirements
- Competency in the English language with no communication issues.
- Ability to use PayPal as a payment method.
- A portfolio showcasing previous work in the subject, for evaluation.
- Ample free time and general activity throughout the project.
- Willingness to provide consistent updates, regardless of the significance, for ongoing feedback.
- Experience in creating detailed city environments, preferrably futuristic in nature.
Communication and Collaboration
The primary communication platform for this project will be Discord. Additional platforms such as Trello, Figma, or similar tools may be used if they can improve productivity and project management efficiency.
