Hello.
first off the website, got to have one of those...
www.40ksource.com
Were working on a sequal of sorts to the Half Life 1 mod that is Rival Species ( www.rivalspecies.com ) that is based on the Warhammer 40,000 universe. We plan to create a mod that allows you to play as either the Space Marines, genetically enhanced warrior monks who are the finest fighters humanity has to offer and as the Tyranids, an alien race with unknown origins who consume everything organic they come across in their unending hunger.
We plan the gameplay to work like this:
http://www.40ksource.com/mode.php?mode=tyranid/synapse
to summerise, space marines will have access to a wide variaty of high tech weapons while the Tyranids will have access to "broods" as wargear. Each brood will be a small group of AI tyranids that work in a similar way to the rebels in HL2, you can order them to do things and depending on the type of brood will depend on the fighting style.
We are well into creating all the content needed for an initaly internal alpha and then a release but have recently hit a snag. Our team animator can no longer continue to work for us for various reasons and were having to train up existing staff members to animate the models were producing.
So we could do with assistance in animating, although help in any form is always welcome and anyone can become a dev team member with us if they have the neccicary skills and wish to work on this mod.
So if you like the world of Warhammer 40k and would like to assist us in the process then either vist our forum and let us know ( http://www.40ksource.com/phpBB2/index.php ), join our IRC channel (irc.quakenet.eu.org #rspecies2) or leave a message here with contact details.
We do require some proof if you wish to help us that you are either willing to learn a skill (at least one member of our team has been trainied up in modeling during the course of the mod) or that you can model/animate/code/map.
And now some eye candy:
