We don't get that many posts about job openings or mod teams looking for mappers, but we get enough that i'd rather have them all in one thread.

Call For Maps/Textures/Models/pretty Much Anything...

Re: Scampie: "flyby" -- hopefully not.
You may (or may not) remember seeing a little blip about us a while back on FuncMsg -- but if not, the "short version" is "we're the
guys that have a Quake-happy engine for GBA and Mobile phones."
Our goal is to self-publish a mobile title that's basically a collection of quality DM levels and so we're looking for as much
content as we can find to start picking from.
Yes, we were originally going for a SP title, but the sorry state of GBA publishing has refocused our efforts on mobile phones and
MP levels (8-player Bluetooth support is already up and running on the phones)
Pretty much any content that is available for license (and, of course, doesn't violate someone else's copyrights, etc.) is exactly
what we're looking for. i.e. If the textures are borrowed, that's OK -- we'll find replacements.
Although we'd certainly prefer new stuff by far, any existing content (even if it's been GPL'd or released previously) is fine --
just as long as the author has the ability (and rights) to license it.
And, on the off-chance that someone out there is willing to work on new levels, we're aiming for reasonably smaller-sized maps,
basically similar in dimensions, texture usage and rspeeds to Aardappel's E1M2ISH, DM3ISH, etc.
(BTW, I'm bringing up new content only because FuncMsg seems to be one of the *very* few remaining active sites for Q1/Q2 mappers
left -- especially with your speedmapping "sessions" -- and it certainly won't hurt to mention it!)
BTW, we're also looking for suggestions as to what maps to include -- although, of course, they'll need to be ones that the author is interested in licensing!
I'll try and check here to respond to inquiries, but interested authors, please visit our site and contact us if you have something that fits what we're looking for!

Although I suppose some Googling could divulge your website address, it would be more convenient if you would mention some contact info.
Site Info.

Sorry!
It wasn't an attempt to make you dig for the info -- it was left off to avoid people up-in-arms about spamming the boards.

Most of the media there is from the GBA version, but there are a handful of screen grabs from the mobile build on a Nokia 7650.

Would be interesting to know at least something about the licensing terms.

I'm still waiting for a semi-coherent argument as to why I should play 3d games on a stamp-sized lcd screen.

You'll get no argument here -- If you want full-fledged 3D gaming, mobile certainly isn't the way to go... yet.
One day, however, the "stamp-sized lcd screen" will be translucent and but a few centimeters from your eyes -- then the experience will surpass your 21" monitor.
Besides, it's a lot easier than lugging your PC with you on the bus -- nevermind the fact that there's never a power outlet nearby when you need one. ;-)
So, getting back on topic here, do you have something that's a good fit with what we're looking for, or do you just like to stir the pot when you get the chance?

and one day we can jack ourselves into the mainframe and project impulses on the cortex proper. then your translucent cancer-cannon will be surpassed indeed, sirrah!
Co-incidentally, how many hours of cpu-hogging lcd-sapping, and memory read-writes can you get from a li-ion on your target platforms today?
seriously, what's your point? "one day this won't suck quite so bad, join the revolution!"
no sale.
Now, do I have something that could put your tech to better use? Perchance. What's in it for me?

I'll stir the pot if I god-damn feel like it.

Then again, that's true for any thread.
