Title: I have succumbed to the inevitable...
Post by: Killfrenzy on February 10, 2003, 07:38:20 am: HELP WANTED!!

The Swarm War needs help, otherwise it will be 2335 before it gets released.....:(

So, people are required for the following positions (so far)

Modelling: I could do all the models myself, but it's taking forever just to do the Karran Imperium, let alone the four other groups of ships that need doing!

**INTERFACE**: Oh boy can I not stress the importance of this! Either a completely new interface is needed, or something similar to what the Babylon BoysTM have done. Also, loadout/tech stuff needed. Again, I can do this but it would take forever.

Tables: Okay, not really needed but some people to cook up weapons for the three other factions as well as the Swarm themselves are always needed.

Sounds/MUSIC/Effects: Again, VERY necessary (especially sounds and music) to speed up the project.

Later, I will require some FREDders and probably some testers. Also, anybody willing to do a website would be appreciated!

*Prepares to beg*

Believe me, you'll be doing a lot of begging if you want an entirely new interface - load sparky - look at the number next to interface. Then load sparky_hi. Look at the number again. Then go in and count the number of animations. This is a mammoth job, even cutting out Multiplayer and stuff - Take my advice, and live with the FS2 interface - It's not like it doesn't look fairly damned nice as is.

Post by: Sesquipedalian on February 10, 2003, 01:20:15 pm: You would need an entire crew of people like Black Wolf and I with nothing else to do but work on your interface artwork. Obviously we are both already involved with other projects, so you won't get either of us. Your only hope is to go and find some friends with an interest in graphics design and scads of free time, and get them to do it for you.

I think your sales pitch could use some work. :)

1) What's so special about Swarm War?

2) How much of it have you done so far? You seems to be asking for a lot of staff but you don`t tell us what you`ve done.

3) Your also asking for a lot of bells and whistles staff. Do you really need a new interface and music?

Karajorma:

1) The Swarm War is a completely new franchise, with no relevance to anything thus existing. It's planned to be an engrossing story, with characters, politics, a bit of love, and a whole pile of fighting. It's currently planned to be about 3/4 times BIGGER than FS2's length (2 - 3 sides to play from, campaigns about as long as FS2's main campaign).

2) I would have done more, but it's currently a one-man job.....some ships are done but could do with some decent textures. I may be putting a couple of them back through from scratch, to make them better models.

Some weapons are done. Story is being fleshed out. There's a lot of fiddling with things going on at the moment.

3) Something like TBP, yes. And YES!! New music is 100% required. It's basically a new game, so new music is needed.

deep_eyes: Since when was I admin?
