Startup HL2 Mod project 'Paradoxology' seeking team

[zratchet]

Zeolite Studios, an indie game development studio is seeking
team members for a Halflife 2 mod.

This mod will be a sci-fi/anime-inspired mod, with the following
unique features planned:

* phase changes
* RPG-style levelups
* NPC 'army'
* on-foot and mech-based combat
* singleplayer, coop, and multiplayer modes

Our game style goal is somewhere between KOTOR and Halflife 2
with an anime look and feel, and we've had a story in development
for 3 years.

The project would currently be a volunteer project with the aim of
getting it into IGF 2007 or 2008 (depending on dev time) and/or
other visibility.

All positions are open - Art, Audio, Coding, and Level/object/NPC design.
Please have some previous experience with Halflife 2 modding and/or:
Art: preferred (3D)SoftimageXSI/3DS/Maya/Blender/Fragmotion/Zbrush
and/or (2D)Photoshop/Paint Shop
Audio: good knowledge of free SFX libraries or how to make good SFX, good
composition skills
Coding: Please have previous C++/DirectX/HL2 experience
Design: Experience with HL2 modding/Hammer and a good design sense and be
able to work with artists and coders.

We will be updating our website soon to reflect the addition of this project.

Currently, for more information or if you have comments, reply to this post.

but is it finished yet?

 

[Humidor]

sounds promising, but what exactly are phase changes?

 

[Yorick]

Wayyyy too ambitious. Try again.

Seconded.

 

[Beerdude26]

Seconded.

Thirded, lol

This mod will take at least 3 years, unless you have 80 modders.

 

[Ennui]

it's more realistic to think you're going to get elected president

now either you can play the 'uncrushable dreams guy who will prove everyone wrong' part or you can realize that you've bitten off more than you can chew - more than you can digest in your entire life, in fact - and scale it down some

It's even worse than I thought. =\

This went from impossible to laughable.

"A group of highly talented genetically engineered psychic children are kidnapped from their space station home by strange insectoid aliens. Their leaders, Skia and Thuros, must rescue the rest of the children (who can then help with puzzles and battles), defeat the alien queen (who lives in a pit of lava), and discover and activate the ancient mechs which lie at the bottom of the alien hive in order to escape."

Is this a joke?

Okay, to avoid another Infraction, I'll stay on topic.


If that isn't a joke, please PLEASE make a better storyline. It sounds like that Baby Geniuses movie. (No offence) (I guess that's my type of constructive Criticisim)

EDIT#1: So it's going to be RPG + First Person shooter that totally isn't even close to being an RPG?

Are you even listening to anyone zratchet? If not, well, everyone stop posting here and let's all ignore zratchet and let this dumb mod idea die. You don't ignore comments.

This thread needs more Yorick.

Two Yorick's wasn't enough? Hopefully this will help.

zratchet makes me want to legally change my first name. I feel stupid by affiliation.
