Hello, all. I originally posted this in the off-topic section, before I relealised this could probably fit here. Anyway, I, as Anson Rail Studios, am looking for a modeller to help with an upcoming project. This is a high risk, high(ish) reward thing. If you get hired, I might keep you for one project, or mutiple projects depending on how we feel. Head over to ARS Hiring for more information, or email me at ansonrailstudios@gmail.com. Thanks, Anson
Just had a look at the site, is this a project for TSC or TSW? West Wales Lines would be a nice addition, but is it Aber to Machynlleth.. Welshpool.. Shrewsbury? Personally I’d want to know the size of the project to know what I’d be signing up for first!
Hi, Shredder I understand your confusion. This project is for TSW and is seperate from the West Wales Lines. That is a solo project. I can't reveal what you'd be working on publicly but it would be rolling stock and you'll have to do most of the modelling. I will do the rest of the work as that is what I'm good at . If you email me I can share some more information on what the project is. Thanks, Anson Edit: This project would be semi-in-collaboration wit DTG themselves
Man I wish this happened 2 years later from now since then I would have had the time to learn and have the technology for this. anyways still really cool how you are reaching out to the community
"You will only get paid if Dovetail Games approves our project to be released as a DLC on Steam/Epic Games/Xbox/Playstation, in which..." Nah... if you want to employ someone, you need to pay them. Otherwise it's a business partnership.
I understand this is not the best way to descirbe a job, but I just need to be honest. I don't have the money to pay someone if I don't earn any money from the project.
Have you even talked to DTG about releasing whatever project you're working on? You'd be better off just asking if anyone wanted to volunteer for a freeware project.
If he is 13, then he is not even allowed to sign contracts with DTG or any other contracts. Then his parents would have to sign these contracts.
If he’s not 13 then he has employed a 13 year old boy to narrate his youtube videos. And here’s a quote from his TSC thread from a few months ago…
Looks like someone might be lying about how old they are, this will probably end up with tears before bedtime........
I will never understand why people on the forums are quite mean to other people without proper evidence
Is anyone being mean? I'm seeing justified questions about the basis for this endeavour, given some evidence that the OP is a minor. I'll add to that the potential tax implications of a paid-for relationship.
It often is also the opposite : lying about how young one is, and still torrents of tears... Life is short
Agreed, there are some really mean minded people on here that like to run their mouth, just because this is the internet (mention no names). People attack people on here just for asking questions, it’s insane!
Hi, guys. I'd like us to stop talking about this, as it is not the point of this thread. I am not 13 years, granted I sound quite young in my videos (I guess that is how I turned out). I am still in school (take that which ever way you want), which people might say is still too young to get someone helping you on a project. Key word: "helping". This is NOT a full time job, and anyone you wants to be a full time modeller, look elsewhere. I don't appriecate the way some of you are responding to these accusations. If I really was 13, I would be upset, and as Double Yellow and Star have pointed out recently, people will just be mean for no reason on this platform. I thank anyone who still supports this project, regardless of the accusations, and I cannot wait to share more with you all soon! Thanks, Anson P.S. I hope this is the last time we talk of this
Hope this doesn’t happen again, and I must say I don’t think this is the first time this has happened where people attack a person for trying to be a third party
No-one is being mean. Your original post doesn't mention helping, it says you are hiring which implies you are paying money. Also, your very own website which you linked to says this:
I do think I could have worded it better, I admit that. But everyone who has emailed has been told this is not full time. I have talked about money and I think it is clear enough to turn the people who just want to do the job and get payed, away
Oh dear! This thread has become a bit like watching a cross between Dragon's Den and... a slow motion train crash. Anyway, I'm out.
Anson, As a clearly precocious young lad I feel a responsibility to advise you that at your age there's a lot more money in cyber crime. Try hacking Marks & Spencer.
I'm putting my thoughts in here, and my initial thought is not intended to be mean, but it does seem like there is some attempt to cover up identity, saying a few months ago on forums effectively that you are a kid and not even GCSE age, and now stating that you aren't 13 but in school ("take that which ever way you want") – so maybe you're 14? I think your idea and project would be better received if not dressed up as a potentially paid project that "would be semi-in-collaboration wit DTG themselves". Which read as if something with DTG is already in place, which it isn't, correct? A misrepresentation of yourself and the project is problematic, for yourself and anyone getting in touch to work on it. And signs of dishonesty will put people off, compared to saying I'm a kid but I have this passion project I'd like some help with. Whatever the truth is, because it isn't clear. And you or others might think I am indeed being mean, but I'm not. I'm being honest for your sake about how this is coming across, but also to point out the reality that if you are a school kid or below what is considered adult age, you are not going to be able to sign contracts to bring this into reality. Potentially you would need to have your parents/guardians set up a company in some form to represent you and handle contracts and money. Now, all of this said, I came here to offer encouragement, because you obviously have a passion and an ambition. I say go for it. Absolutely follow that ambition. But be realistic, be honest, and research the reality and legality of how this works. But also, this passion project might not work out now for all manner of reasons, but if it doesn't then keep building at it until you are old enough, experienced and knowledgeable enough... My brother was around 7 years old when he started learning to program a ZX81, quickly moving onto machine code (assembly language), and trying to make his own games (did a very good job at one I recall) but we never became the next Darling brothers (Codemasters). For a start, I was too busy playing games than the making them bit. But with persistence in the face of people mocking him when he was building his own 3D graphics engine for goodness knows what reason, he eventually got into the games industry and has worked on everything from arcade machines, to an interactive nursery rhymes book for Apple, a project for a zoo in the US, to franchises such as Lego, Worms, Halo, Civilization, King of Fighters, etc., across the major platforms. In other words, whatever you're doing, however old you are, keep at it, stay determined, never let a naysayer put you off, and good luck!
