Level Designers Wanted

(Graham) #1

Mods: I’m unsure if such posts are allowed or if this is in the correct forum but if not, sorry in advance.

To start off, I’d like to say that what I’m talking about is really early doors, nothing is set in stone yet.

I’m starting a project, and I intend to see this project through to the finish. It’s an FPS game, set quite far from now, quite story based, it’s a sort of sci-fi fantasy. Now keep in mind I want to reveal as little as possible until I get things solid but I need the help of level designers and 3D modellers or this won’t even be possible.

If you’d like the chance to work on such a game with a group or even just help by doing some one-off work, post here or send me an e-mail (graham [dot] a {at} 13cliff [dot] co [dot] uk) and I’ll send you everything you need to know.

I know it’s a very shrewd post but I can’t show any pictures of progress because without help there won’t be any. But if you have any questions and I can answer them, I will. :smiley:

First question I always ask to anyone starting a project: what is your role in all of this? :wink:

You mean what’s my job or what will I actually be doing? I’m managing the whole thing, and doing level design, before you go OMGWTF I can’t do all the level design myself. I need a bit of help. :slight_smile:

Kam would neer say something like that!

I cant do anything on computers but play wolfy and surf teh web. I was wondering what size of a game this gonna be, how good to u expect it to be and is it a purely online fps like ET?

Well, this is the Internet where we cannot remotely grasp one’s intentions without asking…
And though my question could have been asked more politely, I got at least an informative answer that Graham plans to help in the level design dept. (Which is quite important before even starting a map.) :slight_smile:

Neer=never

But ur right, i’ll just have to stick to remotely grasping the intentions of people in real life :smiley:

The game isn’t actually based on ET (I know it’s an ET editing forum, but I know many people here are good level designers) but it IS still quake based, so you’ll be able to use whatever .map editor (GtK-Radiant/Worldcraft/Quark) you like. :smiley:

Any other questions?

U havent answered all of mine yet :wink:

Oops! What do you mean by “Size”? If everybody puts in the effort it will be a good game, if it’s popular or not really depends on that. It won’t be an MP thing, however there will be over-teh-web Co-op play which will be cool. That’s not set in stone, if people want MP then there can be, but you know, it won’t happen if I don’t get any level designers :stuck_out_tongue:

Will there be any evil monkeys?

(Graham) #11

Umm… no…

(eRRoLfLyNN) #12

Boo!! :frowning:

(Graham) #13

There IS however evil other stuff, that you shoot, and stuff. :smiley:

<<<<<<< i like evil monkeys :slight_smile:

(kamikazee) #15

I like tapirs! :stroggtapir:

At least we got to know one detail about the mod: “There IS however evil other stuff, that you shoot, and stuff.”
So, we’ll be able to shoot at evil other things, being it stuff or not.

Evil Monkey fight ! go get him boy.

I can’t help but feel the topic has been… ever so slightly derailed…

(kamikazee) #18

Threads just need to derail here, with all those built-up waiting frustrations.

But have you got any responses for positions yet?
If not, don’t give up!

(Graham) #19

I actually thought getting level designers was the easy part, I’ve got all the programmers I need, some guy to do some basic models for me.

(kamikazee) #20

At least you got the coders, it’s what makes the mod tick.

Once you can show some functiontionality to a mapper, you could have more chance to get one.
