Flint's Bay Mod Recruiting

I'm starting a new mod. It's a horror story, but it is not a story of simple mindless zombies (not that there's a problem with that) and a more character based story (of course, there will be zombies all the same :cool: ). I hope to have a site up soon (I have a host and webmaster, I just need to get it up). I do have a Forum though http://hmmmrecords.com/forum/

Here's a brief plot overview (wrote it in about 10 min., not that good, but you get the general idea):

Flint's Bay. It's a small, quiet town on the coast. Flanked by beautiful green forests, and overlooking the open seas. It is said to by some to be most beautifal town in the whole Northwest. The salty air and ocean mist come in at night, creating an eery beauty, one that must be seen to believe.
The town was originally established by French fur traders, so it's roots are old. It has a long history, going back generations. It is primarily a fishing town and is a very friendly community.

However, ancient legends also say that it is cursed. The elderly often tell of something evil out in that bay. Every year, people will go out to sea and disapear, never to be found again. Something that lures them out, whispers to them, calls to them. Many have been lost to Davy Jone's locker. There are many ghost stories in this place, tales of a crazed old Doctor who lived in the woods, who conducted twisted experiments, to test the boundaries of life and death, and perhaps unlocking the secret of imortality itself. And then there is the Flint mansion. The house of Marcus Flint, son of Thomas Flint, founder of Flint's Bay. Legends tell that Flint and his family was communicating with some sort of great evil, studying the dark arts. One day, the caretaker found all of them dead, aparrently a mass suicide. They were taken from the town and buried back in Boston where the rest of the family lived. At least, the bodies were moved, some say that they remain in the house, continuing their dark plans. But those are just stories...

In recent years, Flint's Bay has become a flocking ground for tourists. Especially on Halloween, when they hold the "Freak Festival", a Halloween carnival on the Pier. It has everything you want, fake blood, maniacal looking clowns, a haunted house, vampires, a ferris wheel, and late at night, plenty of booze and "adult" entertainment for anyone with fake ID or friends in the staff.

While all the partying is going on in town, some like to come down, rent a beach house, or go camping. There's plenty of good fishing, some ok surfing waves, good scuba diving, and a beautiful view.

As we speak, the festivities are starting up. However, there is something else happening on this foggy Halloween night...

Sounds a little generic, and a lot like a teen horror film. It kind of needs more to pique lots of interest.

That's exactly what I thought, it's a plot of 'just another' teen horror movie. (I hate those...omfg...scream sucks c**k)
I am good at writting and making up story lines and gameplay ideas, want my help? I am already in another mod but I'd like to help you out a little...

P.S: My mod is called The Living Dead so take a look at my post, maybe you like it and you'd like to merge!
 
*grins* 'The Living Dead' sounds like a generic zombie movie!

Angry Lawyer...
Always brutally honest to mod makers.
I guess the interweb needs people like you to trim the number of mods created.
 
What's cliche? It's not a teen horror, trust me on this. It's gping to have plenty more than that. It's also not just about zombies, there's way more here then them.
 
Sorry to double post, but I just read the post about the "Living Dead". So mine is a cliched teen flick and that is original? It sounds cool, but I don't see what I did wrong.
 
You didnt do anything wrong, just that story you wrote kinda points out that the main characters will be a few teenagers getting killed one by one, which would make a stupid mod, but if that's not what your planning to do then I take every negative thing I said back!

Generic Zombie movie...yes indeed, I don't know about you, Angry Lawyer, but I love those movies. They are becoming rare these days, almost like just...dead. And no, I don't care about your opinion on this! :p
 
Yeah, not just zombies, ghosts, monsters, traditional evil.
It seems like that has been completely overwritten. All we have is viruses making zombies and corporate conspiracies are always at the root of it. What ever happened to curses and ghosts and revenge?

Anyway, yes, young protagonists to start with, however, this is not meant to be "hip" or cool like. The cast is wide, a lot of characters will come and go, this is not Scream. Don't worry, none of the shitty "teenagers get drunk at a party then have a crazedguy in a mask go after them" stuff here. Besides, the characters will just be a bunch of loser computer nerds. The party mentioned in the overview will come into play later, you start outside of town just going for a fishing trip.

Anyway, main point, anyone who could contribute would be greatly appreciated. I really need somone who can do character and monster models, but anyone else will do also. Just send me a pic and I'll look at it.
 
Kat, agreed, classic Generic Zombie films are on the decrease, but games based upon them are definately on the rise.

Uncle Ho, there's nothing wrong with your idea, but what you've released sounds rather generic. With the number of mods flying about, unless you have something that sets you apart from other mods, you're going to have trouble finding extra team members. Of course, it shouldn't be difficult finding players; everyone likes a single player mod.

Have you actually checked the site though? It has zombies, but it's not about zombies. I also hope that the atmosphere helps set it apart from the pack. I'm doing my best to implament the ocean into it as much as possible, as some sort of presence is eminating from the bay.

I know there are ALOT of zombie mods. This is my first mod though. I figured this would be a good place to start, all my other mods would require full time commitments. However, I have school work to do and I'm communicating with team members online.

Anyway, read the site, It'll have things that set it apart. Hopefully I'll get a site up soon.
