Hey, I'm Wilhelm_III, leader of the Solstice mod here hoping for some help with it, we've got some members already, and a site
http://solstice-mod**** <- site http://mods.moddb.com/4311/ <- moddb profile
But not every thing is covered.
Ok, so we need some help but first I will post a shortened version of the story, for those of you who don't have time to check the full one out on the site (which is actually not up yet anyway).

You are Sorrel von Schrover, crown price of Teutonburg, your father has been killed, your government torn down and you and your mother have been put to work in factories. Originally the people welcomed the Nabouhrists, but then they showed their true colours and the country has been turned into a living hell. 10 years after the revolution and new revolutionary group called the Kaiser Reborn that wishes to restore the monarchy contacts you, and after some time you decide to go with them. After a year of training with the best, what remains of your fathers Imperial Guard, who now call themselves Stosstrupen, everything is in place, the civil war is ready, and you begin your journey to reclaim the throne of Teutonburg.


In single player you will be in charge of a four man special forces unit including yourself. Among your team mates is a Lyren (Lee-ren) who is yet to be named (I have named him but you know hat I mean). The Lyrens are magic users, and are very much a different race, though at a glance they look just like Humans, the live twice as long as the average human and age half as much. In addition their eyes are different, some say they have seen them glow at times.

The missions will range any where from placing explosives to sabotage factories, to capturing enemies for questioning, to leading a break through in the front lines. You will fight a large array of enemies ranging from the feared Suppression squads to front line soldiers to factory guards to interrogators to conscripts and a lot more.
There will be a lot of weapons, so far we have decided on these:

Kaiser Reborn: Bolt action Rifle, Sub machine gun, Assault rifle, Hybrid rifle, Automatic carbine, Sniper rifle, Shotgun, Semi Automatic grenade launcher, and an array of close combat weapons (see site for more)

Naboughrists: Semi-Auto rifle, Sub machine gun, Assault rifle, Shock baton&riot shield, Flame thrower, Semi automatic grenade launcher, Machine pistol, and an array of other weapons (see site for more)

As for multi player, You will be able to choose from an array of classes on either team, including (for Kaiser reborn) Stosstrupen, standard troopers, and officers, in addition there are (for the Nabouhrists) Suppression squads Regular troopers officers and conscripts.

There will be limits on weapons, each team may only have one half as many sub-machine guns as rifles, one quarter as many Assault rifles, and one fifth as many specialized weapons (e.g.. shock baton&riot shield, sniper rifle) and so on and so forth.


What we need:

One coder,
One-Two player modelers,
Sound Technicion,
2d artist,
and another weapons modeler,

now that's all we need atm, if you can do something not listed and want to help out, then contact me and I'l tell you if the spot is filled or if we can use you later on.

If you like the idea of the mod but don't want to join feel free to sign up on the forums, most of the updates will either be there or on moddb.

To apply, either post here, or send an email to [email protected] Thanks in advance,
-Wilhelm_III
 
Looks great!
But do me one teeny weeny favour?
PLEASE delete the "Under construction" sign. It makes your site look like some random amateur fan Tripod site :p
 
hahaha i see the only media you have is badly drawn concept pictures. good luck though. also edit your post for the spelling mistakes.
 
Don't be so rude. But yes, you should watch out for spelling mistakes. Makes the team look a bit incompetent.

Hope you get those positions filled!
 
i was beeing rude if you follow the link to moddb yo will see that they are infact badly drawn. i am entitled to my opinion am i not?
 
Yes you are entitled to your opinion, but not entitled to mock someone.
 
Sorry, forgot to run it through spell check (though I do not know what all the fuss is about, there were a grand total of four mistakes, all just typos). As for the concept art, yeah I know it is in need of updating, I drew it months ago. But it is being made better, here is an example of the revamped stuff http://www.solstice.lunarpages.net/Kaiser Reborn Sturmtroopen.JPG
It'll be put in the moddb profile in the next update along with the first render (and hopefully the second) so keep your pants on! It's the finished result that matters, not the earliest concept art bub.
 
not a bad picture. the deal with typos is that people wont take you seriously if you dont correct your spelling before posting.

It's the finished result that matters, not the earliest concept art bub.

i have alot more experience than you do you even do anything in the mod or do you just draw pictures.
 
Ok, I'll answer this and then I would like it if you took your comments and criticism to either the mod's forums, the mod's moddb profile, or to the pm system, I don't want to have to wade through a bunch of not really related posts to find any one who might want to join our team.

Now, I do understand that about the spelling, and I fixed it and harbor no ill will.
To answer your question, no I am not just the concept artist. I do weapon modeling as well, in addition to the pr work, and if we can't get a coder by the time we have all the renders I'll have to learn C++ (My god do I not want to, I have done a little and I really do not like doing it)

Now, I thank you for lending some of your infinite wisdom with me but I would really like to keep this thread clear for people who might be interested in the team. You are, of coarse, welcome to join the forums and ask as many questions and post as many critiques as you please, and to do the same in our mod database profile.
 
Oh right, we need a skinner now too, I thought our texture artist could do it but it turns out he can't :P
