I have over two years experience in UDK and most certainly can find a good solution for you. I will email you now.

**CoolBen8** · 07-21-2012, 07:57 PM

I think something created in matinee would suffice. Calling all persons capable of creating this to email me now. Thank you.

I talked to this guy; he is gentlemangraphics/SGS-Professional. He got both his other accounts banned, and, when I talked to him, he was very unprofessional and refused to work in the way freelancing is supposed to work (half pay up front, half on completion). To top it all off, I just talked with another guy who worked with Mr. Reiss here and he said that Reiss told him to stop email him about getting paid (after he had already done the work) until he could get money to pay with. This guy is not well-funded, he is a rip-off, and he doesn't know how to make games or run companies or manage/pay freelancers.

Ambershee knew about this before you guys did !

and so did i

**fragfest2012** · 07-22-2012, 06:34 PM

I actually figured it out a few days ago, but didn't post until I actually talked to him on skype.

BTW this is so close to scam that I already consider it as scam (if the artist for some fool reason deliver the work then it is a scam!)

**fragfest2012** · 07-22-2012, 10:29 PM

He was a programmer and he did deliver the work before getting paid (was his first time freelancing).

**theflamingskunk** · 07-22-2012, 10:54 PM

I have worked with him before. He paid although was not professional at all. I think the guy he hired after I left is who you are talking about.

I don't know how can anyone without money dare to request any job? for some time I consider this guy to be naive and hilarious but this....... I think is time to chase this piece of trash with fork and torches.

Can't believe I nearly fell for this joke.
I suspected something suspicious about him when I added him on Skype, whenever I set my status to Away or on Do Not Disturb (Busy), he would abuse the Call feature by continuously spamming me with incoming calls even after I asked him nicely to stop doing that.
Even the Shangri-La Games website is a practical joke.

Skype User is also familiar - workingonunannouncedgame

Professionalism may not be my best when it comes to public relations (at least probably not yet, or close if lucky), but at least my website seems more reasonable that the one stated, and the domain and perhaps the website is about to change soon anyway.

Army Men III Website
vs
Shangri-La Games Website

Unfortunately, I wish I had known about this hoax before I even sent a PM in the first place. Or at least it seems to be little more of a partial hoax (only the Shangri-La Games logo itself was no joke).
I did not send the work to him yet. Ultimately, I literally work on freelance programming task to help cover my expenses for college and the very last thing I need is to be ripped off.
That said, If he really, TRULY wants to have my work, he will have to send me the money via PayPal first before I send him anything.

Fortunately for me, all of that work I spent time and effort to create for him is not in vain, since coincidentally, I already intended to create such assets for my current and my upcoming indie games.
I honestly do not even know how much I should be paid to work on particles as this was my first time freelancing in that category.

All I can honestly say to you Reiss Wort is if you really want fulfill your dream you must learn to provide a backbone. At the very least start small. Start by working with small addons for games like Half-Life 2, Call of Duty, Unreal series games (preferably UT3 or UT2004), or perhaps even Halo Custom Edition, search for tutorials for the games that focuses on the career path you desire (e.g. if Environmental Art, looking for tutorials on creating props for the game).

In my honest opinion,
A very effective leader should also be able to contribute work to the game as well. For instance (not sure if its ok to use anyone else, trying to remain on the safe side), Myself - Leader/Founder of Lord Iheanacho Productions, AND Unrealscript Programmer.

he did exactly same thing to me. it was insanely annoying.

**kaerugames** · 08-02-2012, 06:15 PM

he got banned again

**Yamato Kakashi** · 08-02-2012, 07:00 PM

i can bet on that either, lol

**dovonob** · 08-03-2012, 02:14 PM

wow well i know this isn't really relevant to anything but I should have left work well over an hour ago and just before I left i came across this thread, then somehow I've ended reading all of CoolBen and his other alias's posts.

Absolute legend (in a wrong sort of way)

does anyone have a link to this groundbreaking, amazing, secretive, universe changing game as I'm really curious now, the link someone posted of Shangri-la website took me to a website that doesn't exist.

or should i take that as a sign and accept there probably isn't a game going on anywhere other than in his head?

p.s. sorry for junk posting but after reading all these posts i need to see some screenshots, anything really?

**juguefre** · 08-03-2012, 02:31 PM

@dovonob I haven't see anything and I manage to check the site when it was up and running and it was EMPTY, best chance is that all of this is happening in his head as you said, just follow the leads and you can come to some logical conclusions, he claim he is "well funded" and he have no money to paid......he claim to know what he is doing and one time we spoke on skype he asked me for " a low poly chaisaw no more than 60.000 tris".........LOL on that, he offers good payment for what he needs and it comes dowm to 1 dollar per hour or even less.......just follow the leads....it smells like sh*t, it looks like sh*t, sadly for some people here tasted like sh*t......oh is this guy! he's FULL OF SH*T.

**dovonob** · 08-05-2012, 10:01 AM

ahahaha i honestly don't know why this is making me laugh so much, not even in a snobby know-it-all way as I'm equally as thick as ****. I can't quite work out whether this is the worst charm offensive scam I've ever seen or he is actually totally tapped.

Very strange and rude man.

60,000 tris!!!!! isn't the limit for a high poly character like 64,000? Can't wait to see the silky smooth performance of this universe shattering masterpiece. Does he even know what a tri is?

It wouldn't be so bad if it sounded like he was doing anything himself, he can't script, he can't model, what part is he playing? Voice acting and PR?

Have you ever spoke to him? Please don't tell me he's English I'd have to renounce my nationality.

I wouldn't renounce my nationality for a piece of nothing like him lol

**juguefre** · 08-05-2012, 11:01 PM

hahahaha yes we spoke some time ago and he claim to be english......

**恥ずかしい** · 08-05-2012, 11:29 PM

Good thing I'm not English. I would be ashamed to share DNA with this fool.

I'm glad DNA doesn't work that way.

**2jacky5** · 08-06-2012, 01:28 AM

Why isn't this thread locked yet?

**dovonob** · 08-06-2012, 04:38 AM

I'm guessing with his charming personality Coolben probably hasn't shared his DNA to many times.

I tested a lowend computer ~5 years old and it started dying on me at around 250-300k visible polygons, using no textures or anything else except a few simple materials, I would say that this would be the lower limit for an indie game although I have very little to support that claim but if that would be a target audience for his game, almost half of what he had to work with would have been spend on that chainsaw assuming that there is next to no optimization anywhere along the lines.

This was my test for a very specific project, I could easily have made mistakes in fact I wouldn't doubt that you could atleast optimize this via LOD to perhaps twice as much but it depends on your specific project. It's obviously simply too fluid to say a specific number for anything.
