Gangstas - Need Talent

[CockyWriter]

Hey everyone..

First, a little disclaimer:

- There is no profit made in this
- There will be no publishing, unless there is one insane enough to think this would sell
- Everything you submit will be property of the mod.

Without further ado, I represent Gangstas, a mod that mocks our generation.

The basic concept is simple: Two gangs going at it; the blue West Coast, and red East Coast. Its bascailly TDM with some very huge twists. I won't give all the details, but this how the game works.

Each team will start out with pistol, molotiv cocktail, and a knife. In order to get new weapons and equipment, the gang votes on which item to 'buy' from the blackmarket. The more money your gang has, the faster you purchase these weapons and equipment.

Equipping your character is as easy as FA or Raven Shield. You simply pick whats available to you and move out. You have slots which represent how much you can carry and how fast you move. The more you carry, the slower you are.

There is also bouncers and hunnies that can make life easier for your gang. They are able to provide special benefits for the entire team such as speed and extra damage. That is all, for now.

Like every other mod team, I will need the following:

- Modelers
- Animators
- Texture artists
- Sound Engineers
- Skinners
- Coders
- Possibly, a web designer.

I don't have a website up, and my talents involving writing, PR, voice acting, web admin, and sounds (limited).

You can't sell unless you licence the engine IIRC.

Fenric is right.

The topic title is amusing, kudos for that :thumbs:

Oh, and it's 'molotov'

 

[CockyWriter]

Ack, I keep forgetting that.

As for the second part, I was being sarcastic

So anyone here willing to help a mod that involves suburb white kids thinking they are born from the streets? Come on, it will be fun.

 

[ComradeBadger]

CS clone-a-like, but not so much as other mods I've seen.

We need a bit more information on it apart from 'It's gangsta CS!!!'

 

[CockyWriter]

Alright..

The money you get isn't what you used to purchase weapons like in CS. Instead, the money is put into your gang's account so they can 'buy' (read: research) new weapons from the blackmarket. Once the item is researched, the entire team can use it and arm themselves via 'Firearms' way before they spawn.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Hmmmm, still serverly lacking in orginanality, but a bit better.

Be warned, some of us here are a tough crowd to please

 

[CockyWriter]

I would love to know where the whole CS thing comes into this. There is no counter terrorists, no VIP, or disarming the bomb. Money isn't used to purchase weapons for an individual person, but used to get new weapons in stock for the entire team for the rest of the game. You take money from dead enemies and you can steal money from the enemy. Simply put, 'buying' is 'researching'

Then there is the bouncers and hunnies that gives your team extra power.

And I don't think CS had bouncers.

 

[CockyWriter]

Alright, ..

There is two hunnies and two bouncers. Each side has two of them. They provide extra health, armor, damage, and speed. Get all four, you get all four benefits for your entire team. Each hunnie/bouncer represents a different bonus.

The two sides also have a safe with their money put in. To get money, you kill an opposing gang member and bring back the bills to your safe. You can carry more, and you can drop more. You can steal from the opposing team's safe.

Then there the whole weapon research ordeal. Your gang votes on getting the next weapon/equipment in their stock. The more money you have in the safe, the faster you get the weapons. Later on, especially the more powerful weapons/items, you will need a lot of money to get decent research speed.

 

[ComradeBadger]

You haven't shown us any "very huge twists," and not giving us all the details can only hurt your case. We'd be much more receptive if the gameplay was something other than "basically TDM," a feature that's been around forever. Bring something truly new to the scene and we'll be very praise-ful (yes, I know that's not a word).

Indeed.

It's just so few modifications are departing any from the standard Team DM model, and yours seems to um, only take a few timid steps into the limelight.

You should have to buy rediculous gang scarves and paraphenalia to ..... uh... improve your aim? Also add outlandish terms for ingame messages:

For example:
The red team has the safe!
becomes:
Da bloood bruthas gots yo' bling! Bust out 'an cap dose mofos!

Dont' make it serious, tongue-in-cheek would be so much better.

Of course. I was thinking of having a pimp cane as an updated melee weapon, along with gold teeth/platium chains to give extra armor.

Yes, I knowt here is a spelling mistake. Bite me.

ur mods sounds more interesting then these non-cs clone mods

fantasy, anime, rpg, etc.... stuff that some people play.


(Edited by Chris_D - Beware of how you phrase things please. Some of that could have been offensive)

 

[CockyWriter]

Yeah, well I got some people alread. I've introduced the idea to a very small mod team and seem very interested to see it work. Its for Unreal Tournament 2004 though.

Might as well give you my opinion on the matter. I just don't think it will work. I was talking with Cockywriter for quiet a bit. It doesn't seem to have a good and intresting idea to back it. I can see it been disbalanced and kinda tedious after a bit. Also the fact that I can't stand all these pimp gangsta mods, even if they are taking the piss out of ofter gangsta mods who try to be serious or what ever your trying to achieve. It just all seems a bit imature. Not my thing really. GL! with your mod though and I hope you get some good team members.

I'd like to see a mod called "Overated" which goes out of its way to take the piss out of all the other mods, really laying into the CS clones, the WWII mods, the Neowhatevers, the RPG's.. Like a National Lampoons movie, only funnier.

cs common people its more of a rip off from science and industry
