Attention all Artery.ca Members!
We here at the Artery invite you to participate in our first community wide project, Hang’em High. This project has two potential products, an Unreal Mod that we will hopefully enter into the “$1 Million Make Something Unreal Contest” and a “Making of” art book.
The goal of this project is to further the skills of the individuals involved and to gain experience in game development methodologies. Artery mod team members will include concept artists, modelers, animators, scripters and designers.
The team will be chosen from among those who signal their interest by the moderators, beginning work on March 1st,2009. Assistance will be required from various disciplines over the course of the project, so there is no deadline to apply to join the team. We will communicate regularly; members are expected to meet deadlines and conduct their work in as professional a manner possible. You must also be willing to have fun and push your creative boundaries a little!
To participate, you need to be a member of the Artery, and able to contribute in some capacity as part of the mod –making team. Decisions on participation and eligibility are at the sole discretion of the participating Artery.ca moderators. Please contact Jason Elliott through PM or email at jelliott (at) artery.ca if you have any questions.
The mod team must deliver their work to Epic in accordance with the schedule set forth in the competition guidelines on Epic’s website: http://www.makesomethingunreal.com/
All content developed and accepted for this project will become property of the Artery.ca. Additional rules and regulations will be announced to participating members during the development process. Thanks everyone and we look forward to hearing from you!

Hang'em High Guidelines
This covers deadlines, expectations, conventions and other related materials. These will change throughout the course of development, so it is recommended that you read this thread at least once a month to keep up to date.
Purpose
The primary purpose of the project is to motivate and help Artery.ca community members develop content for demo reels. Secondary goals would be to create a total conversion UnReal 3 mod for release to the public and the creation of an Art Book which could be sold.
Game Team Positions and Credits
The game team will have many positions and several categories of credits. There will be three credits categories: The Artery.ca Team, the Hang'em High Team, and the Artery.ca Community.
The Artery.ca Team
This category is only for the moderators and staff of the Artery.ca. Credits in this section will reflect the duties and position of the person within the organization.
Hang'em High Team
This category is for any member who submits a piece of work and is accepted to the project. There will be a wide variety of positions ranging from artists and designers to Leads. All members will start at an entry level and based on the quality of the work, professionalism, and critiquing in the forums, will be able to move up the ranks. Leadership roles will be given to those members who, beyond the quality of work, are most active on the forums in mentoring other members.
The Artery Community
This category is for any members of the community that help in the development of the game, but do not submit any accepted work. A Mentorship role is applicable to those members who are most active on the forums in mentoring other members.
