New mod - Project Mercury

(heliotic) #1

Well, I was trying to announce this with as little fanfare as possible, since we all know how many mods come and go on a daily basis, however nullskillz suggested I create my own thread to announce it.

So here is the information about the project:

The working name is: Project Mercury, and it is a co-op/competitive mod based in a cyberpunk style universe, and since the source code has only been available for a few days now we are still in the design stage.

We have a full team of coders atm, however we are short on artists. So if you’re an artist or can do a bit of sketching and have some spare time [or if you just have a lot of ideas for this sort of thing], feel free to jump in and say hi :slight_smile:

Hmm, sounds good actually. I may have a few ideas… not much of an artist though.

This is funny, usually mod communities have too many artists and few coders, now it seems we have an overflow of coders. As a coder, I hope this situation will change ASAP. :smiley:

This is good news for us I guess… Artists - mail me! [or pop into the forum]

Our community is ‘coder heavy’ due to quite a few of the members being professional programmers. [Some of them even worked for sony on that eyetoy thing - I figure this is a good chance for them to redeem themselves in the eyes of the gaming community] :slight_smile:

Ironically enough, a few months ago we started a cyberpunk modification. http://verisimilar.net/cp-et The public forums are not much to speak of, the devel forums is where the real information is. The reason I bring this up, is because we are an ‘artist heavy’ crew, as before the source code release we could only hope for graphical and model modifications. Of which we have 7 of 10 player models complete, all new weapons, and new 2D graphics. We also have 3 of hopefully 10 maps for the final release.

Considering we are artist heavy, and you are coder heavy, perhaps we could discuss joining forces to create a better mod overall for the community.
