[MOD] Shattered Oasis Announcement

[legacy-Toothless]

We recently have opened our site on PlanetUnreal and We invite you to take a peek around and check out our stuff.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated

http://www.planetunreal.com/shatteredoasis/


Shattered Oasis is a first person shooter genre being developed using Epic’s Unreal Tournament 2003. There are two basic foundations that the storyline is based off of, the first being a post-apocalyptic world, where anarchy rules and resources are limited; the second being an alternate reality, where the universe has evolved into the likes of something none of us have seen. Using these two premises, the developers are capable of expounding on different worlds, weapons, characters, and plot that the gaming community has yet to see.


We were featured in the planetunreal news on Dec 7th/2002 on our site launch date with planetunreal if you wish to read what they had to say.

It looks a little early in development, but I'm sure you will put lots of work into it.

There is a lot of potential for the mod. :)

[legacy-Toothless]

Yes the look is early but with much of the code completed we are waiting for a Model Skinner to come along and give some love to our models, as well as a mapper or two to come along and put out a fresh look rather then UT2003's look to everything.


We are just inserting HUD's and splash screens now so over the course of the next month it should drastically change.

We are also searching for a final gametype to add that is a bit different then most. We were hoping maybe the community could tell us what they like to play and maybe we could work something out for a final gametype.

We had a 3 way team gametype planned but it looks as though it'll have to wait till another release of our game.

Die Tooth!!!

Just make sure ther is spawning of some kind :D

A Assault gametype with destructables like in UT seems to be requested alot.

[legacy-Valle]

Yes! Assault! I nearly cried when I first played UT2K3 and saw that there was no assault mode :cry:

[legacy-Toothless]

Well we have a gametype almost finished that will be a combination of CTF and Assault. ooops i said too much......

A few updates to tell about

We have recently received our first character skin. It has been done by Ian "Threaders" Threadgold. He has finished this skin and has another one in progress. He is doing these couple of skins as a favor to us while he has some spare time so we still have a need for a fulltime skinner yet. We also have a need for a sound artist for music composition and gameplay sounds. Anyone interested can email me toothless@planetunreal.com .
Everything else is right on track with our internal goals. Our code is coming along nicely and we saw our first gametypes IR over the holidays. Wraith has finished our opening screen as well. It's quite an incredible work of art i must say.

[legacy-acc]

Wow... :eek: ... that's a sweet skin...

[legacy-HumanMagneto]

Can I ask if there is ANYTHING in this mod thats original and that I havnt seen before?:sour:

[legacy-HumanMagneto]

One question, why the feck have all the men got havy duty cloths and armour to protect them from the elements when all teh women are hardly wearing anything.

FFS are you guys 12 or something?

[legacy-Toothless]

Hmm

Well What have you seen before?

Everyone has seen or played something different.

I can say honestly yes this mod will have something different then others, in the gametype area.

As for the women we are portraying in the mod, they each have a purpose. Notice the armour on the one model, the medic bag and whatnot on the other model.

As for your hardly clothed women comment. No we aren't 12 years old. each character will serve a purpose and the first time you play our mod after it's released, it'll be quite clear.

So please before you make some remark about our mentality be patient, all will be clear before long. While your being patient how about a "That's a wicked skin you got there " or "Wow that Threaders guy is so talented is he a professional? "

Because I certainly didn't come in here and write hey you come look at our half naked women, cause I don't see them that way.

The Sketches, the model , and soon the skins are incredible works of art, that a talent individual like cptoonz drew or swoma modelled or Threaders skinned.

[legacy-HumanMagneto]

Ok heres a different comment.

That skin that was posted in this thread looks just like the Model for Paul in the Dune adventure game :)

[legacy-Toothless]

Well how about a link so I can see what you mean

I know for a fact that skin and model were fabricated from scratch.

The last thing I want to be doing is copying someone else.

[legacy-Toothless]

I do hope your not comparing our model to this
thing that looks totally different
