Hmmm, after helping some people understand in my opinion what makes a good mod and how manys games have flaws, I kinda got a idea in my head. Well infact I have about 1 million ideas in my head. I am thinking about starting my own mod. The only way I can see me even starting it is to get about 2+ people (hopfully programmers) and descuss it with them and get it all sorted around there capabilitys (3d work is easy) tbh I am gunna be very realistic on the teams capabilitys and no point clouding my self with stupid ideas that will never work and also way to complex for the programmers skill.
My Idea: Well I got my idea kinda from hellsing. Well infact it has nothing to do with hellsing at all but kinda gave me insperation http://shine.enacre.net/ I am not going to go on about a background story line because anyone who knows anything about MP games will know that none of them need to make sense at all. A game can be made good by giving players a perpose. Most games are based on killing. If your are not good at killing and the game your are playing is based on killing then you get prity bored very fast. I am not saying get rid of killing because tbh that makes a first person shooter what it is. But if you can create a mod where people can be usful even if they don't have the best score then it will be a lot more open to peoples chooses. I want the mod to use a class system. This means that people can specialise in certain things. Giving all the classes a perpose would be very important because if people think they are been usful and also doing somthing they engoy then obviasly thats classed as "fun". The game its self will have not much sense to it. I have not actually fort about what would work best as a way to make points as a team but I am looking along the lines of rtcw/dod. As everyone knows dod is the most well made mod for half-life to this day. Mainly because u actually feel like you are there in the enviroment (its very atmospheric, mostly because of sounds etc...) the only thing thats lets it down is person preferance. I am looking to create a very atmospheric gothic/anti christ feel to the game, I know my self that I can do this. Mainly because the atmospheric style is created through maps and guess what.... I am a mapper. I also model but would not be modelling for the mod because I can't see my modelling been up to standard. Thats just made me think of another idea. The mod will not have vehicles. I am sick of everyone wanting vehilces in there mod and trying to use very large areas when hl2 isn;t perfect compared to other engines for large areas. Its capabile of doing it but it just gets so anoying. Same with all the racing mods. Its kinda makes u think why don;t they just use a racing engine? Anyway I havn;t explained all my idea because most people find reading tedious. But I am here for the long run and not gunna expect to get a team together fast. It would be nice but mostly people have to trust me into knowing what I am talking about.
Nearly forgot, these are pictures of my work. Been a modeller for about 1 month and been mapping for hl for about 2/3 years.
My 3d modelling work, not that its relivant
If you are interested in any way contact me at [email protected] or any of the 4 IRC networks I idle on (gamesnet, quakenet, aniverse and mirc-x) name IchI^ (unless i am playing games at work etc...)
Also just give me some feedback about things u don;t understand etc... there isn't much info here most of it is still be though out in my head. But ask away.
Ty for your time.
