Shredded Turf is a lawn mower racing mod for HL2. It is just in its beginning stages and needs staff of all kinds. The website isn’t finished yet, but we have a moddb profile at http://mods.moddb.com/4761/ Right now we have a mapper, a webmaster, and I am a novice modeler. Right now we are really looking for a concept artist to get the ideas down to help show the concept of the mod and to use for modeling. Here is a description of the mod and the requirements for the concept artist.

The wind in your face, the sound of the blade, the smell of freshly cut grass...blood splattering on your face, the sound of bones crunching, and the smell of carnage. Shredded Turf brings you carnage and racing on a lawnmower. Hop aboard a superpowered mower and try not to fall off on your way to victory. Aboard your mower you have many tools of carnage to assist you on your way to winning. Someone to close behind? Unleash your grass clippings in a blinding cloud. Another rider is pulling away? Shoot him with your mowers rocket launcher. Running side by side with the enemy? Knock him off his mower and run him over and watch the carnage. Use these and many more weapons on your way to victory.

Mowers
The mowers will be able to be upgraded performance and arsenal wise. The performance upgrades will include engine upgrades to improve top speed and acceleration. Suspension and tire upgrades will improve handing and the tires will also improve speed and acceleration. Mower performance is not the only thing that will help you win. Instead of beating the enemy just by being faster, you can also use a wide array of weapons at your disposal. There will be long range and short range weapons to help achieve victory. It will also be possible to knock the enemy off their mower. Besides upgrades that will help achieve victory there will be fun upgrades that do nothing, like a horn, different paint jobs, or rims. Make your mower yours and use it to win.

Maps
The maps (atleast planned for version 1, more types later maybe) will be circuit style race. The maps can be in many locations, but a good portion of each map should be on grass. The length and size of the map will be left up to the mapper. Maps may have obsticles, multiple paths, and other suprises will be set in places like a farm, golf course or even a park.

Shredded Turf hopes to bring you fun, speed, and carnage all while racing a lawn mower. THis is only the beginning of what to expect.



Concept Artist

The concept artist will be responsible for supplying drawings for use in media, modeling, level design, and concept. The art can be done by hand or computer. It must look worthy of showing publicly and look respect worthy. The art does not need to be colored. The content of the art will include the following: drawings of new ideas for lawn mowers, weapons for the mowers, landscapes, and orther misc objects.

Things expected of the artist:
Professional and mature
dedicated
works in a timely manner
previous work is good but not required

If you are interested in this position please contact me at [email protected] with any previous work you might have. For more info on the mod read our profile here on moddb.

Thanks

The idea's tantalising, but murdering other riders is kind of against the spirit of racing lawnmowers.

I mean, you wouldn't shoot a fellow extreme ironer in the middle of climbing/ironing, would you?

i know what you mean, but its the type of gameplay we are going for. the other cofounder wanted lots of blood and this type of gameplay.
 
Sounds kinda like a more mature version of mario kart. Maybe I'll shoot ya an email.
