How about.....

Captain Chuckles and the Rump Rangers?
The plotline could involve a bunch of guys running around the lobby of Valve trying to figure out when the Source SDK will be released so they can build a game in a reasonably current engine.

Desent to Madness... it's from Max Payne, I'm sure you know Couldn't that be a problem? Its not copyrighted or something... but...

 

[Danimal]

what about the unreal engine? UT2004 is kinda swamped with mods, but if it's just for the experience who cares?

I'm thinking of doing a similar thing myself (mainly to get some games experience on my CV), but can't model for shit, good programmer and pretty good mapper, but arty I most definitely am not.

Buzz3D have some great vid tutorials on modding unreal if your interested. They also have vids on other stuff too. Great site.

Where can I get the Unreal engine

 

[j1mmmy]

I'm pretty sure Unreal hasn't had it's source released. For the quake games see my post on the previous page.

It's gonna be hard to make a game that people should take serious when it's made with the Quake1 engine! Just make it one ****ed up game with a lot of a satanic hints and gore all over the place! Make it ****ED!

Where can I get the Unreal engine

With unreal tournament 2004. They have a dedicated development website setup too.

Cost me £17.99. Best games (I say games because of all the awesome mods) I've ever bought for under 20 quid.

 

[Danimal]

Hey Frank, our game will be filled with gore that was one of our important things to add...

It's not like people improve old engines when they become open source by adding bump mapping, high res textures, shaders or anything like that.

Much... People have made Quake 1 look quite good compared to modern games and people don't have to own it for them to be able to play your game because the engine is free.

 

[Prince of China]

The storyline should consist of 2 paragraphs of gibberish and the game should be extremely violent. When you shoot some up close, the screen should be covered in blood, therefore, the player will be unable to see and the monsters will kill him.

Holy man-pussies, what is that? I must know, it looks amazing!
Tell me more, please.

Elvenor - An old sc map that I oringally made.
I recommend having a deep storyline, yet combined with heavy action. Yet don't make it all heavy action. Add some parts, where its light and the storyline gets beefed up alot and change to a spooky mood. Later, lead up to a huge battle.

I kinda have a storyline...
Its far into the future, you have discovered most of the milky way. Your nation spreads across many planets, and neutral with other races. You are part of an explorer team, going out to chart the unexplored areas of the galaxy and marking where planets are etc... Though you crash, and when you do it's starts off mostly trying to get to a place so you can get a rescue squad, you soon find hostiles. Though, instead of a rescue squad coming the army takes the matter into its own hands. All out war has begun.
You can add in the rest of the details if you like the crappy storyline. Have some in depth infilitration areas, yet have some huge ass battles .

All I got.
Do HL1 on the modified Quake 1 engine ^_^. I'd love to see what you do to HL1(which was on a modified quake 1 engine), and pimp it out on this newer modified quake 1 engine.

 

[Mujuro]

You don't have pure adrenalin pumping action with a very deep story, that makes for the sublime choice. (In other words, half-Life 2.)

 

[Prince of China]

You made that map?
Wow, you are good.

 

[j1mmmy]

The screenshot is from Tenebrae, it's a engine modification for Quake 1 making it more up to date with current game technology.

Here's another of the cool looking shots from the project:

Have a look in the gallery for more screens:
http://www.tenebrae2.com/tb2_screenshots.html

The Quake 2 engine based game, UFO: Alien Invasion http://www.ufoai.net/ is a good example of how major your changes can be with the full engine source. Doesn't look much like quake 2 and sure as hell doesn't play like it.

Or alternatively wait for Quake 3 to be open source and to make single player. The code developed by Ace Team would be a help to you there.

First news item there.

The guy behind the maps I've posted is Willi Hammes.

You can download some of his work for Tenebrae here.

I hope this is helpful.

 

[Prince of China]

So, basically, you took the Quake goodness and re-amped the engine?


...

Where can I get this?

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Hell, just keep the original Quake 1 graphics and have a few hundred guys on the screen simultaneously. That would be truly awesome.

In the meantime, that Q1 revamp is better than D3. It'd be a shame to waste that graphical power on some standard nonsense, so I say go with a good plot.

Plot is the #1 thing keeping games from being as good as they can be. It's also the least technologically difficult thing to invent.

 

[Danimal]

I like to thank everyone very very very much for the poll results and ideas

I came up with an idea for a storyline and please give me your opinion on it

Storyline

In the year 2178, the Earth's resources have been depleted and pollution has created an immense hole in the atmosphere. The United Nations, now with every country at peace have decided to make a colony of the military troops and the smartest people around can be taken to a different planet.

I was thinking we can have an introduction (training, to tell you how to play the game) set in the year 2178 in a boot camp like place since you will be a pvt in the military force. After the training you might be taken to a deep freeze chamber and then the actual game starts maybe a few centurys or decades later you are awoken on a forigen planet and surpise surprise it is suitable to maintain life. Maybe after learning advanced controls and getting used to the different gravity (I might make it so you can jump maybe 2 as much higher) You are assigned to patrol the area with a small squad. Maybe your captian or seargent might see a small tribal like camp and your platoon go down to check it out. A small fight with many people on your side (You will like that Mechagodzilla ) and you are the only one left in the platoon and you must make your way back to base (it will be a short trek) then the aliens might follow you to the base and you have a huge war...

It is all I can think of so far

 

[Alec_85]

you must have voted for; the duke nukem 1 engine with an epic storyline that is about as intense long and has lots of books for you to find and spend hours reading of the computer screen like in that game "batman:angelica returns to school to find spot"

Why yes lol. You practically nailed it there sir! :E

 

[joule]

Where's the option for A FPS that has very deep storyline and 100% adrenalin pumping action?

 

[Danimal]

So many people have said that Username I have to this again and again

This is our first game we have ever made and having the best of both will be VERY VERY HARD!

[Edit]

Some weapons you might see

-Assaoult rifle
-Grenade launcher
-bazooka
-pistol (Something will happen to it that I have told no one, not even Kouler or Sam)

This is gonna be our storyline (It will be improved trust me). I can pitcure it now I can pitcure awakening and then stepping out of the chamber as you hear Microsoft Sam saying "Welcome to the future soldier #002902"

 

[Danimal]

If anyone is still alive we are gonna use 3D Studio Max as our engine

 

[Danimal]

Mods can you please delete the post above mine...

I was a dumbass for thinking the 3DSM was an engine...

Could the mods also edit my first post and put everything (Except for useless stuff) Into one post before this thread becomes an excuse for spam and bumping






on a side note can I please say that we will have cinamatic sequences in our game
