video game: modern 3d board game simulation in UE4

[pemcode]

I've been working on a HeroQuest video game (using UE4) (I'm a software engineer). For now it's a HeroQuest board game simulation with one player vs. AI.
If anyone has sufficient time and skill to dedicate significant on-going help, then please contact me. thank you
PS: or if you know someone, or if you know a better place to link this post, then please share. thank you

Here's some notes on categories of work that need to be done:
> Game Programmer: you don't necessarily need to know UE4 (or C++ or Blueprints), but obviously you need to be motivated and competent at programming. Generalist. Game logic. AI. User Interface. Game menus. Effects. Media.
> 3D Modeling: we're using 3d scans for heroes/monsters and custom models for furniture (more work needed). That's for nostalgia (authentic simulation) mode. Beyond that we could also create assets for a visual mode that's more detailed, or a visual mode that's animated. We also need (a) 3d background room(s).
> UI Artist: for all platforms (PC, console, tablet, VR). Artist or Artist-Programmer
> Effects Artist: fancier effects eg with spells, traps, combat. UE4
> Sound (and Music): maybe someone who wants to focus on high quality sound effects, possibly background music or ambient noise.

I post updates (musings/ramblings) (screen shots, videos) about the project on my blog under the "HeroQuest" category:

I'm definitely interested to watch the progress of this, but I don't have the skills to help with any of the above. My programming skills are very limited, and with school and work, I wouldn't have the time to help.

@StratosVX thank you for your interest; what's your programming experience? Is your degree programming related?

[StratosVX]

Mostly C++ but with a very little bit in Python, Java, C, and specialized languages like AppleScript and PostScript. My degrees will be Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering when I'm done (in about 4 years).

If you have time later (school break?), maybe you could implement/debug some small feature(s)? It is good experience/learning. Let me know...

Please contact me if:
* you are interested
* you know someone is interested
* you know other good places to post this (UE4 message board?)

Maybe the guy who did Hero Quest on Tabletop Simulator can help. He gave us a link.

VR preview (very early): http://mepem.com/pemcode/?p=1247
Prototype early release of binaries: http://mepem.com/pemcode/?p=1272

Tabletop Simulator is an online multiplayer physics simulation. HeroQuest UE4 is single player campaign experience (it implements game rules and Zargon AI).
However, for the 3d models it would be nice to use the models from Tabletop Simulator: HeroQuest: Master Edition (All Expansions).

This is still going strong. If anyone has programming experience and wants to help, please contact me. We have a Discord channel too!
