Hello everyone! I am looking for volunteers to contribute to a game project set in the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, centered around Astarion. This is a fully remote collaboration. Contributors work from their own location and manage their time freely. This is a non-commercial, volunteer-based fan project, created out of passion and respect for the original work. It will be built partially using BG3 modding tools. Main softwares are Blender and Unreal Engine. It is not meant to be integrated into the base game or existing BG3 save files. The project is currently in an (advanced) pre-prod state. I estimate that the project will take approximately 6 months to complete. Teamwork will be managed via Discord and Google Drive. If you’re interested, feel free to send me a DM for more details. Autodidacts like me are welcome, let me just take a look at your portfolio! I hope to work with you soon and thank you for your time!
