I, on my behalf, am totally sure that the last chapter of the game must have gone missing somewhere along the production process... They just put in an ending that can be blended over all current game content by just calling HalfLife2_Ending(); And it would look right no matter where Gordon...
I agree on that big team problem.
Theoretically you can bring any mod to alpha state with a dedicated coder and a no less dedicated modeler/artist.
If you have a big team you'll spend a lot of time organising the work and synchronising design (a cartoonish texture on a goo dripping zombie...
From the overall look of it I suppose it could work... And the workload you are facing is only modest (map, gametype, ability system...) so you coud pull this on your own up to an alpha state I suppose, IF you have the coding skills...
What I would think through more intensely is how the...
Recommendation: Inform yourself about the workload you are going to face perhaps just by having a quick peek into the different departments (mapping, modeling, coding, texturing etc.), just download some programs appripropriate for the job (maya learning edition, worldcraft, a paint program)...
FENRIC IS ON A KILLING SPREE
Even though the critic is harsh and probably a dormant design talent has just been bombed into oblivion... They are right...
Uhmmm...
Yahooo... Desert Combat 27!
Though thats really nice artwork, what'll be the "KEWL NEW STUFF" in your mod?
(please do not kill me, I do not want to flame you, I just want to know why your idea is cooler than everybody else's, convince little sceptic ol' me)
there are three levels of the "dark side" of humor:
irony - sarkasm - cynism
the last one is the thing germans call "Galgenhumor"... It's a bit like when you tell someone strapped to a guillotine he should lok at it at as one big free haircut.
edit: dunno if I wrote cynism right, but...
So your story would end at that point? You'd get shot as a deserteur and somebody else will do it? Now that is great realism! Good idea!
(I hope you mark the cynism)
If you'd be up to do a real horrors of war game then create an engine which can simulate the stench of burned flesh, screams of people which lay with their intestines dripping out of their bellies screaming for help, choking on their own blood... the sight of people blown to shreds by mines...
Uhmmm... spose neither my real name or my nick make a very good addition... Fuzzy Ork's Folly [Tavern]? The Spire of Konfuzzyus [Temple]? The Deep of the Fuzzy [Dungeon]? Fuzzywuzzyweebits [Gift Shop]? Konfuzzyus the Brewing Monk [Pandaren Brewmaster]? The Diciples of the Fuzz [Monk Order]? :(...
For some time now i've been writing on the concept document for this mod and I somehow would like some more comments & criticism about it.
Read it @ the Warcane Homepage
Perhaps this could start a discussion on how to write a concept document, what to concentrate on, level of detail, how...
