Intro
Hello everybody!
My name’s Peter (aka. SlopranoDark, SolidBlocks, ShapeDemBricks and now TheEldritchDreamer)
I’ve been playing games on Roblox since 2009 and got into development a year or two after that. I own the development group Universal Development on Roblox and we are working hard on Legend of the Eldirtch!
We miss two important roles, however, hence I made this post to invite YOU to our team!
The Team
- @TheEldritchDreamer (Project Lead // Lead Modeller & GUI Designer)
The Spots
- @m_agistr (Programmer)
- @Meikirei (Modeller / Builder)
About the game
Play in a large, medieval-fantasy world which came to existence after The Eldritch God dreamed reality.
Explore this world in its full glory using Obelisks of Life (OoL), respawn & fast travelling-points, Points of Interests (PoI) and your very own Journal to your advantage. Find out about ancient lore, describing the world and beyond!
The Journal is the centre of information: you can utilize it to track OoLs, view the full world map, read or listen to discovered lore from PoIs and Ancient Lore books or take notes.
Use your fantasy to make up your own characters from the ground up with our in-depth customization. Use Actions for more intriguing immersion . You name it, we got it!
Align yourself to the Celestials, people with a pure mind; one with life, or the Infernals, creatures of the dark; one with death & destruction, and fight YOUR evil, defend YOUR allies in massive PvP regions using magic, melee and / or ranged tactics. Level up & improve your everything!
Challenge people to close-combat duels (1v1), brawls (2v2 - 3v3), or battles (4v4) to earn fame & reputation in Colosseums and make yourself shine with epic rewards!Dream it all, in Legend of the Eldritch.
Fraction of the World's Chronicle (Out of Character)
In the vast expanses of the cosmos, an age-old conflict takes place between two arch-nemesis’ of one another: The Celestials, beings of pure magical energy against the Infernals, creatures of the dark and void. The seemingly eternal battle rages on in a constant, violent war carrying only one wish: to exterminate the opponent completely. While the fierce warfare between the Infernals and Celestials carries on, it is ultimately about two incredibly powerful beings from either side: Hadramiel, a blessed Celestial-born from the purest form of magical energies and one with creation, and Valtezahl, the most unholy creature, comprised of raw and corrupt energy. The two superior beings acted as the spearhead of each side, and they inevitably clashed in a whirlwind of destruction and chaos. Amidst their battle, the two destroyed countless stretches of space, stopping their battle at nothing to destroy each other. Eventually, their wish was granted. Both beings crushed each other, shattering into countless shards of energy from their origin. A brilliant explosion of raw energy set the cosmos ablaze. … Read more!
Fraction of Saërah's Tale (In-Character)
“No-one dares to mention this, but I do!” A man widely opens his arms, to indicate to gather around. “In a large, dense forest of the Elves’ domain Rolvia, there is a cavern which was claimed by a dangerous Cult, but grew silent after years of conflict between them and the High-Elves. The Cult had a name of which no-one wants to talk about.” The aged Human with a ragged, worn robe and a hat tells a tale to a group of Wood-Elves in a bar just outside Rolvia. He pauses to take a sip from his mug of ale and continues: “They called themselves the Eldritch Cult. Don’t ask me why… but they had dark intentions and tried to convert every person into their belief in the ‘Eldritch’. People don’t believe in that sort of thing anyways …” he then pauses again to take another sip. “But ‘ey… ”, he hiccups, “… sometimes ye got to believe in something to get a better grasp on life.” Then he grabs the mug of ale and drains it all down his throat. As he slowly but surely leans backwards, he eventually falls over and in his drunken stupor breaks into laughter. At this point, the listeners had lost their interest… except one. … Read more!
Development
Progression
Most of the progression is shown in our Discord.
Otherwise you can check the footer at the bottom of this post for more options.
Workflow
The game’s development is segmented.
We’ll kick off with a game that’s playable and interesting. Then we’ll update the game regularly with new content and updates.
Since we have most if not everything planned out, the work should go very smooth.
We use ClickUp for our planning & scrumming as well.
Since it’s important to be able to rely on one another, it’s a must to have a Discord account and a microphone to call with (webcam would be nice).
Future Update Schedule
1: Title Updates
These updates are probably the biggest ones. They would contain a whole new region, at least 1 new race related to the region (if any), multiple customizables and other additions like achievements, PvP, etc.
These updates will be entitled.
2: Content Updates
These updates would contain new customizables (such as new animations, armour / clothing, weaponry, etc.) and recur periodically.
3: World Polish
These updates are additions / adjustments to the world itself (such as terrain, cities / towns, etc.)
4: Emergency Updates
These updates hopefully won’t occur often. They’re critical bug fixes and exploit patches.
The Job
We’re looking for somebody interested in becoming a programmer and somebody to be a modeller / builder for Legend of the Eldritch.
Are you uncertain? Apply anyway! We’ll select the people we think are most fit for the team. 
Payment
- We promise you a fair percentage from our revenue. The amount will be discussed as soon as the applications have been filled.
- You will have special (cosmetic) abilities or items in-game + credits in the main menu.
- It will be a great portfolio piece.
Requirements
- You must be 18+;
To elaborate on why I’m looking for team members of the age 18+ is because of 2 reasons:
- I want to have maturity assured in our team.
- I want to make sure there’s a large margin for built-up experience. People from 13 years old have had less years to practice compared to 18+.
I’m fully aware of exceptions, so feel free to contact me anyway if you strongly believe you stick out! I’ll be sure to check the portfolios regardless.
- You must have expertise in what you’re applying for;
- You must have a proper attitude and good understandings on both the personal and practical side of things.
Important to have
- DevForum Regular role;
- Motivation, inspiration and enthusiasm;
- Quality, efficient and accurate work;
- Reliability, reputation and skills;
- Adaptive, creative and strong-willed mind;
Tasks
Just to give an image of what you’d be doing as a developer …
Important Task Highlights (Programmer)
People who join our team as programmer will be creating functionality in the game.
Here are some important highlights:
- The majority of the work is invested in the in-depth Customization as this should be the core mechanic which must stand out. This includes but is not limited to:
- Character Body Features; (e.g Gender, Race, Height, Width, Skincolor, Eye Type & Color, Hair Type & Color etc.)
- Loadout; (e.g Armoury, Armour Patterns, Color & Material, Weaponry, Weapon Decals, Color & Material, Accessories, etc.)
And much more. - Then another big role would be lighting & weather. We intend this game to be on the edge of realism within Roblox, hence we wish the weather and lighting to be as realistic as possible.
Day and night cycle and the trigger for certain weather and triggers for other effects should be arranged on the server while each client visualizes everything. All the lighting & weather data should be synchronized across all clients, even when there’s weather in progress and somebody just joined the game! - Another important thing would be region related things. Since the map’s big, the game should probably be split into multiple places meaning that there’d be teleporting between places. There should be fast travelling through ‘Obelisks of Life’. Next to that, there should be ‘Points of Interest’ which could play cutscenes and / or show a story in text about that particular place.
- Last, but not least, there should also be monetization-related things. For example, new customization content could be purchasable with in-game currency or free to take. Special stuff might be pre-purchasable with a premium currency only and become purchasable with regular currency after a certain amount of time. Both currencies can be bought with Robux or earned throughout the game.
Important Task Highlights (Modeller / Builder)
People who join our team as modeller / builder will be shaping the world in the game. You will work alongside me.
Here are some important highlights:
- Modelling all kinds of 3D assets;
(e.g Armour, weapons, house interior & exterior, props, and more) - Sculpting Terrain & placing around the models at the desired locations;
There’s more stuff I possibly haven’t mentioned, but these are a few of the biggest highlights.
I’ll provide more information to you if you’re in.
Once you’ve decided, please add me on Discord and DM me or let me know in the replies. Please, do show us a portfolio of stuff you made over the time. Doesn’t have to be all fancy, but screenshots / gifs or a place to see / test is necessary!
