When Night Falls - Vampires vs. Lycans - Talent needed

[nki]

“When night falls, the battle begins. Unbeknownst to the human world, a centuries-old feud between warring Vampire and Lycan (werewolf) clans is escalating to a bloody and brutal climax. Armed with an arsenal of deadly weapons both ancient and modern, these mortal enemies are unrelenting in their quest to wipe each other from the face of the earth. You must choose on which side you will fight. Will you align yourself with the lithe and elegant Vampires, or the brutally powerful Lycans?” - Underworld Bloodlines

FPS project about the battle between Vampires and Lycans.
Inspired by the movies Blade and Underworld.


Features:

-Skill system: Combining RPG elements into a FPS Game, skills make up for a new intense combat experience and more tactical possibilities.
-Class system: Choose between 4 different classes per team, from fast melee warriors to deadly snipers or mysterious shamans, who rely on magic to support their team - it’s your choice.
-Crowd system: Levels are populated by citizens, who react to your actions; Scare them away or use them as cover to escape from your enemies.
-Weapons: A mixed arsenal of modern and ancient weapons to destroy your enemies.
-Game mode: Round-based Team Deathmatch with objectives
-Mana: Each of your skills and special moves, e.g. high-jump, drains some amount of your mana; refills quickly after time.


Skills:

Easy to use yet effective, the skill system will bring the action to a new level.
Each skill costs a certain amount of your mana and has some cooldown time, restricting skill spamming.

This looks interesting. I may be able to offer my talents in the 3D Artist/mapper categories possibly. Not really a weapon modeler but environmental models/lighting and perhaps some character modeling ar a go. I have over three years professional experience. I have a very outdated demoreel from 2006 which can be seen here http://www.cyborgguineapig.com/DemoReel.htm but plan to have more recent work to show soon. Just showing interest in your mod for now, I'm in the process of finding another industry job so I can support myself so that ultimately determined if I can help out.

[Fusedgore]

I am interested in this as well .If you PM me I can send you some samples of work and portfolio.

[nki]

PMed both of you.

[blakojako]

Hey there,

I can send you some links of my work. I have been working as a broadcast 3d artist working on concept art, storyboarding, modeling, lighting, animation, and compositing. Before broadcast, I had experience as a texture artist for games. Before that, I worked in architecture, so I think I have a knack for environment design.

I'm looking to get my feet wet with UDK and move back into the games industry. I would be interested in modeling, texturing, lighting and concept art. I love your concept and I already wanna sketch up some character sheets. Let me know via PM. Thanks!

[Emila]

I have some knowledge of modeling in Maya and XSI. I am currently taking a course where I'm learning to use UDK. I am very interested in your project and would love to have something to work on. Email me at princess_emila@hotmail.com and let me know what you've done so far.

[nki]

Still recruiting skilled people, especially looking for 3d artists and a 2d artist.

[Dudeman95]

I'm a 3d artist. I can give you a link to my portfolio if you want it.

[mytey]

sent you a PM

[MuninHugin]

Not sure if you still need anyone. I have skills in 3ds max, maya, mudbox, and photoshop. Can do some coding as well but currently learning uscript. Would be interested in helping with whatever I can with the time I can spare.

[nki]

Yes we are still interested in expanding our team, I will send you a PM for further details.

[shadowscrawl]

i may be interested

i am a 3d artists and i specialize in static geometry/prop modelling

i am very new to modelling but i am picking it up extremely quickly

here is a quick render of a futuristic prison cell i made for my own pet project to show a small example of my abilities

http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/5728/cellrender.jpg (http://img694.imageshack.us/i/cellrender.jpg/)

some may recognize that this is an updated version of the prison cell from the vortex rikers in the origional unreal and you would be absolutley right haha

[Quillisia]

I sent a pm nki.

[Hytek]

Hi, Undergraduate level programmer hear with intensive personal study in 3D Game/Graphics programming, Im just beginning to move to unreal script and am looking for a team to work with. The description of your game was very nice and straightforward. So if you still need programmers then contact me.

[nki]

Thanks for all of your applications. Still got some positions open, but the team is already working hard towards our first media release.

We are especially looking for talented 2d artists (logo design, hud, game menus, textures) and 3d artists (character and weapon modeling).

Our first map Metro is nearing completion, weapon models are currently in the process of being animated and set ready for ingame use. Our first character model, the Lycan Rebel, is in work. Code already features our class system, skill system and about half of the skills are already done.
Still looking for talented people who like to work with a team which gets things done.

[Snufkin]

[Francorider]

This looks awesome!

Yours Faithfully
Francorider

P.S. My email is 'thebadboyfranco@gmail.com'

[janpec]

Where have you been hiding this project? Very good work so far and afcourse excellent idea.

[Francorider]

You said that this project is non-commercial, but it has the potential to be so much more!

[Muhd Anwar]

so,how this game progress?? ^_^ what happen to this game now???~

[Schuey]

Love the idea! Im a longtime underworld fan both of the movies and the novels based off of the scripts, good luck to your project! Hope you will be able to finish it the way you intend to :)

[alvarofer0021]

You really had to bump a tread from a YEAR ago?

[tigerija]

I had this idea in my head for a while. Would like to see something like that. But you need melee combat for werewolfs. Ripping other people would be great.
Tho, I think this is way to hard to make something like that. Well at least not for some indie developers. Look what happened with Rebelion on AvP that has similar features.

Good luck tho.
