Hi guys and gals, ^Ben here from Operation Shadow Phoenix(OSP)

First let me give you an overview of the mod and some previous media.

This is wireframes and highpoly version of our "bug"

http://www.shadow-phoenix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=140

And this is our newest concept piece the alien mothership!

If you wish to get an overview of the story line of the mod then go here We have a couple of draft story lines to supplement this but they are not on the site yet.

Now what does the MOD need.

We are keeping this pretty open and if you think you can contribute to the MOD leave a message here or PM me.

We do not require programmers at this time.

nice talent in the team. but...
ANOTHER alien vs. human game though??
please...

tell me.

what seperates your mod from all the other alien vs. human games?

 

[dassbaba]

the alien mothership is cool, but i agree with #2

Another one?
do something new!!! i only will play 1 aliens vs humans mod

NS, that one big alien mod, and this?? and there must be more...

suggestion = do something new in your mod the other mods havent come up with yet...

perhaps you should do Aliens vs Aliens =D

 

[^Ben]

Well the only alien vs human game i see MOD wise is natural selection. (I haven't really kept up to date with all the HL2 mods)

Well our single player seperates us from the other alien vs human MOD's (More details coming later)

We are working on some fun game type ideas that we feel are pretty unique.

But i think the issue is not about seperation. Sure it's "another" Alien VS Human(AVH) MOD, we will try to bring something new to the table in terms of gameplay. And hopefully a good solid single player and multi player experience. But we can't throw to many features and WE CAN DO THIS AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THEESE MANY WEAPONS AND THEY WILL DO THIS THIS AND THIS! Otherwise we will never get the MOD done or it will be substandard quality.

I think that's a major stumbling block that most MOD's have, they aim to high and you never hear from them again because the task they set themselves is just impossible. We belive we can bring something new to the AVH type of gameplay with a certain level of polish and some fun and intuitive gametypes. And a good solid singleplayer. Once we get the basics of the multiplayer out we can begin tweaking and adding new gametypes, new skills, and maps etc etc.

So just keep a look out for us

(Oh i completly just went off on a tangent, none of this was aimed at you Synthos)

Like giving magic to Vikings and making them fight Eqyptian gods?

 

[Synthos]

no i realize it's not aimed at me...
You mention a lot of mods die because they aim too high. Just make sure yours doesn't suck because it aims too low

I think aiming high is a good. But when it comes time to implement, you have to face reality and skim/slice/cut elements.

I'd just really hate to see another game w/o a fricking story behind it.
Half Life had a story.. and a good one too.

I know you have an introduction (i read most of it). But its what happens in-game that seperates you from the rest. Remember that.

(I haven't really kept up to date with all the HL2 mods)

and there you have it, please change it to aliens vs aliens because i will play it then, otherwise i won't and i'll listen to other people who will tell me if it is good or bad

aren't i honest

 

[^Ben]

Synthos: We are not aiming too low. I think we have found a nice middle ground between what we can realisticly achieve and what will still kick ass in our opinions

We have a rough draft of the single player story line with map concepts. And it's shaping up very nicely.

dassbaba: But then what you say could be turned around. We are not going to change our MOD around because 2 people say so, without giving good reasons except for it's been done before. Every concept has been done before basically everything you see is a rehash of old ideas. It just depends if the old ideas are served up with polish and some spin on the idea to make it stand out and make it hopefully a fun game to play.

Like i said once we get the initial gametypes out for multiplayer we could add alien vs alien

 

[^Ben]

Just going to bump this and add if you don't have a forum account email me here
