Payed Job for Map - Developers

Hi all, I am looking for a [B]map maker[/B] that is willing to do a job for me. I have a budget of [B]$300[/B] and this map wont be particularly easy to make. It would be pretty big map as it is for a Garrysmod gamemode that I am developing. This would be a private project so you wouldn't be able to release it to anyone. If you don't trust me to pay you, I will send a payout (half the total cost) before you start making the map and the rest when you have completed it. Of course this is only if you accept this job and I will go into MUCH further details of how the map will look and even send in some diagrams and such. [B] The types of things I will need in this map are:[/B] - Trees (Lots of them) - Flowing water (Maybe a waterfall if possible) - Rocks - Rivers - Small caves/Tunnels - Small Mountains - Gravel paths - Dirt Paths etc.. I have a modeller that is happy to work with the map maker in creating this map. This video below is very similar to the way I want my map to look (Texture wise), it has a very realistic feel to it, which is what I am looking for. [video=youtube;OsuM3pYgSb0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsuM3pYgSb0[/video] [B]That map was created by:[/B] Matt Westphal / Stinger21 [url]www.mattwestphal.com[/url] Jack Parsons / Hiyougami [url]www.hiyougami.co.uk[/url] [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1299157"]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1299157[/URL] If you are interested please reply to this thread or add me on steam: [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198047226769/"]here[/URL] Thank you, Hillzy

Instead of giving half before making the map, it might be wiser for you to give out payments on increments. For example, when they finish 25% of the map, give them 25% after they send you a .vmf and .bsp. Giving half before even starting could be sketchy for you.

I would ask them for previous work as well.

Watch out for scammers. If a guy called kruma contacts you, avoid him.

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;42752543]Watch out for scammers. If a guy called kruma contacts you, avoid him.[/QUOTE] pretty sure he already changed usernames by now or has different steam accounts

[QUOTE=GoldPlatinum;42752944]pretty sure he already changed usernames by now or has different steam accounts[/QUOTE] Wasn't that long ago when someone said they had been contacted by him.

Hillzy37, I can join this project with you. Add me so we can talk.

Dude please be carefully. 300$ is pretty much and dont get hoaxed by scammers. Make some kind of contract or whatever just to be safe and sure. Edit: i would even help for free

If it's fancy terrain you want, I could pitch in a bit. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/595871638324913568/C66446F93BCF85CDB2265F1803FD6F6A31CBA478/[/t] Will have to see what I'm doing in full detail before I commit though

I have a guy named JJ, he has showed me some of his work. I will not pay him until he has given me the first stage of the map.

Id like to hear a bit more about this project, so that i can give it a go. Because id like to get back into mapping, and i work better when people tell me what they need / want. Since i got a bad imagination. Ofc. anything id do would be for free. I just enjoy mapping: :) ( You can add me on steam: madsen2800 )

I have already had 3KliksPhilip turn me down.

According to the info I got, He wants basically a large heightmap with some props on it. Once me and stinger get all of the custom props made, it's should be fairly easy, just tedious. (placing a lot of trees, and rocks.

Why not allow a bunch of people to go for the position then after say 1 month see who's you like the most and take them on? Also try coderhire.com as they allow you to advertise mapping projects and you can see who is trusted or not.
