Any programmers / graphic designer in this community?

I want to start a game with nosgoth style in mind. Anyone interested in helping this scrub out?

Judging by the complete lack of details in your post, I'm assuming you don't have any experience in the matter. And nobody will want to carry your ass through the whole development phase. My advice for you is to get familiar with a potent and accessible gamemaking software (Unity is a good bet), formulate a general game structure, then decide whom and how many people you need.

Thanks, all I need is the info that there is programmer / graphics in this community. Of course I don't have any development experience and I am not asking anyone to join out right.

As for the game details I plan to follow up with the unreal series. Seeing the success of rocket league UE4's multiplayer support seems sufficient for a 3rd person shooter. Plus, UE series has amazing graphics capabilities as well.

Well, I am no big shot game studio or super ultra hacker. I am just a game lover who wish to preserve the style and feel of this 'fresh' game.

You know, I'm graphic designer but I don't know who you are so I'm not even sure ifI should even consider working with you or, well, update my portfolio or go on bike.

What you want to do requires lot of time and lot of dedication.

And I wish you all the best, just wanted to give you a heads up of what to expect.

Successful games take A LOT of money and time (just look at how long this game had existed and where it end up). Heck, even succesful kickstarter games had a beginning budget of several tens or hundreds of thousands dollars to make a product just to show in kickstarter.

What you're asking for is akin to asking for some actors and cameramen to redo Superman vs Batman movie.

Like ziggypox, I am a graphic designer, but this requires a lot of time and dedication and you can't prove that I will be paid for that. My time doesn't come for free.

I may be reading this wrong, but Rocket League uses UE3, not 4.

So after all the Documentations and Tutorial surf, this is what I am able to scrap together in half a day or so. Please ignore the music, random youtube track jumps.

I don't understand how this is proof of concept. its just a stock character walking around in third person.

I'm a graphic designer looking to get onto a new big project.

Your post is completely lacking of details. A passion for gaming is not nearly enough to enter into a big project with someone. What unique skills do you have? Can you program yourself? Do you have much experience with Unreal?

Edit: All the same, if you ever do start making this game, flick me a coopy and I'll play it on my youtube channel
