Versus is looking for a webdesigner/coder

[Mitosis]

We (current 2 man team ) are looking to start expanding for the upcoming release of hl2 and to start, we are looking for professional or not professional web designer to create a website which will allow for easy updating of news, images and set up some forums. We are also looking for a coder (best look now rather then leaving it till the last moment right ) who would be interested in a simple hack and slash sword fighting mod with detailed sword fighting techniques and combos.

I'm also pretty sure that Majestic XII will read this and offer me hosting that he promised me :cheese:

If your interested in either or both of the positions available at the moment please contact me via email ( [email protected]) and I can fill you in with more detailed information.

People... This is the only mod im looking forward to, i love it! I will support this mod as much as i can, because i think its a really cool mod. Ive been talking about this mod from times to times

I cant wait to play it... so you better join now.

Anyways, Can we host you here on .Dev/Halfife2.net? I need to talk with Munro about it but im pretty sure it will be okay.

Mitosis helped me some on my mod (Malin) too Thanks m8.

Not an awful lot of info though. If one of you could perhaps expand a little so people know what this mod is about beyond hack and slash that would probably get a better response.

Maj, I’m still gunna be helping when ya need it =P

@Fenric

Basically the mod focuses on creating depth to hack and slash, I’m sure you’ve seen JK2, now put bluntly that is the worst application of sword fighting I have ever seen, I want to make a sword fighting mod that actually allows control, if anyone has seen the film versus you can understand the other part of this mod that I want to make, I want people who spend time into honing their skills to look... well amazing cool.
In terms of storyline, like in the film versus, there’s not much really there, single player is you, a single swordsman Vs hordes and hordes of zombies, its the simple enjoyment of cutting them into chunks which I hope people can enjoy (I’m sadistic I know ) then have another swordsman as a boss character at the end of it all. Multiplayer is where the most fun will be with simple one-on-one battles like in JK2 on a similar rotor system of taking turns to fight and the winner staying on for another battle until they die and someone takes their place.
Sword fighting is going to be done using a system I thought up using 4 main commands "Attack, Block, Dodge and Jump", linking these together you’re able to get past your opponents defences and defeat them. (Personal note, dodge is going to look amazing I swear to god , think neo’s bullet time dodging except without the bullet time).

What else can I say if there’s a subject you want to know further on post it here and I’ll fill you in on it.

Well prefering swords to guns, it sounds interesting. But I don't think there's enough there to sustain anything more than a gimmick mod. If you added a storyline to it, even something simple like dawn of the dead. You could probably have a good mod on your hands. The plus side is its not a CS clone and not WWII based. So thats two things your mod got right already :E

This versus film.. Majestic is a fan of the mod... So that must have been anime right? *grins at Maj*

 

[Mitosis]

I think the film was based on a manga because there is a lot of anime theme in the film but its an actually done in real life, oh and I forgot to actually mention some places that it could be set, but really when both me and Neo_god where building on the idea, Neo_god wanted a sword fighting mod based in the past, where as i would prefer something closer to the future, so we compromised and decided to have 3 versions of each character we make, one set in the past one in the present and one in the future, so we have a lot of variety to suit lots of different tastes.

Maybe I should also hire someone to take the ideas we have and form a story from them *anyone?*.

[edit] pendragon posted while i was there, unfortunately I’m not a coder :|, maybe your story writing skills can be helpful though. I’m currently a mapper for quake 3 and since quake 3 is going out of date rapidly I’m going to move my experience forward into HL2, it’ll probably take a couple of weeks to get used to the new editor but after that I’ll be pumping out my material at a nice pace [/edit]

$50 for the site

 

[Mitosis]

*looks in wallet T_T* someone contacted me earlier, I’ll just hope he will create one for a fee which I can afford, or free is always a good price ^^;;. though looking at neoshockmod.net in your sig i would certainly be paying for a good quality site, very nice work on it.
Neo_god showed me a model in progress before.... but I wont show it here *cause he's naked * I’ll show you all once he's fully clothed though.

 

[ray_MAN]

Coders are very rare here. I suggest going to the coding laguage forum you want and asking there.

 

[Mitosis]

yep, i just posted for coder incase there just so happened to be one floating around with a passon for swords . i wonder if theres anyone else with any other talents that might want to join up, ohh and Neo_god is nearly very nearly done with that model, mabey screenshots tonight.
