Single player mod

[[DtK] [SA] imthenewguy]

Hi all,

I have been pondering my next project once Apocalyptic is out of BETA and I keep tinkering with the idea of creating my own custom single player game like Half life.

From my understanding, it is mainly reliant on the map for gameplay but it will require some people who are knowledgeable with C++ to adjust the core functions of the game like weapons, movement, physics etc.

This would be an excellent opportunity for those who want to make a name for themselves in the design industry to partake in this project and add to their resume.

This will be a learning experience, and in in all honesty I am not sure how it will pan out but if you are interested in having a go, let me know and we can assemble a team.

I am only looking for very experienced mappers with a great eye for design to do the map work but I will be looking for a few texture artists, sound guys, modellers and Programmers (and maybe some people to help with the concept designs/ideas/drawings etc).

In order to make the team, I will be creating an assignment that you will need to complete in a timely manner to base your skills from, so if you feel up to the challenge let me know.

Game ideas:
Horror
Half Life style
Puzzle game
Open world

I am a fan of the horror theme, but that may require a bit of modelling work (and there is only 1 modeller in dtk lol).

Anyway, if you guys are keen to jump on board, let me know and we can go from there.

Cheers.

I was actually thinking of something like a zombie based game (based of zombie escape maps) where the player has to solve puzzles and deal with complex situations etc. A lot of models are freely available, would involve minimal coding as Half Life has a similar concept of game play. Would give us a chance to build a series of environments from facilities, offices, streets, military bases etc and can employ our own style of weapons for defence like machetes, chain saws, meat cleavers etc.

Depending when you start this, I might actually be willing to work on the coding. Been doing a lot of c++ work recently, and with uni break coming up (2 weeks, then exams are all done) I should have plenty of time to learn a bit more. Might be past my skill though.

Well the latest version of Apocalyptic was released, so as long as thats all solid and doesn't have too many issues, I will be looking at starting the design stages of this project shortly.

Will need to brain storm ideas, rough designs, story line and other fun stuff before we can even look at mapping. Any research you can do on the source sdk setp/programming will defs come in handy because I would be relying completely on tutorials haha.

Think Jet and I will do most of the mapping to start, but would be happy to have you on board for ideas like puzzles and detail etc.
