Title: Hidden Terror - Hiring
Post by: DragonClaw on March 17, 2004, 03:32:05 pm
Hidden Terror is specifically looking for FREDers at this moment. All other areas are already either covered or completely finished now, although staff to make improvements on every other area are still welcome. Another cutscene developer could be helpful, as well.

After a complete story revamp, Hidden Terror will have at least 17 missions. The campaign is developed from a Shivan point of view, with which you will fly Shivan fighters and bombers. All shivan craft are available to fly. The campaign begins during the First Great War, consists of a transition, and will develop and finish in the Second Great War. HT will not, however, focus on the Shivan viewpoint of the Great Wars. Rather, it focuses on something entirely different. Hence the name.

Hidden Terror will take advantage of the FreeSpace Source Code Project, hopefully consisting of at least 2 cutscenes. The interface will be rehauled, sporting fully animated FreeSpace2-style Ship Selection animations(with color changes), and various other features.

A trailer was previously made, and is viewable from the HT website. The gameplay is outdated however. You may notice some problems in the gameplay portion, which have already been addressed.

-Any questions or comments can be posted here or at the HT forums at sectorgame.
-All FRED applicants must either email me a sample mission, or post their sample mission here. HT will not accept freeloaders, and you will be expected to hold a loose schedule.
-Hidden Terror is completely ready to be FREDed, and will be released upon a gold date, determined after the completion of testing.

I'll have to look into my time schedule. Everyone has me hired. I'll check back and tell you if I'm free or not.

I dont think you'd fit. You have more than enough stuff with your current projects. Having a FS--> FPS full conversion in work kinda makes you useless for other projects (we can be happy if we get to see any TVWP mission at all from you).

Oh, and if you ask why I'm making a comment like that... Well, *whisper voice*I'm on HT's staff*/whisper voice* :)

We're seeking for people with somewhat creative abilities and less other projects to fiddle with. If anyone feels he's got time to contribute missions and / or other stuff to a somewhat 'different' MOD - you'll be more than welcome.

Hey Roy ;)  Long time no see man :eek2:

P.S., Lightspeed helped revamp the whole storyline, so you won't see very many similarities to the old one... ohhh yes, suprise. Going to be oh-so-much better :drevil:

And yeah, Tin, you're obligated to way too many projects already. There's no possible way you'd have time to work on another one.

I never said I would be able to help, I said I would have to look into my schedule to see what I could do. :nod:

You could say same Idea, new story.

It's pretty cool, actually. :)

I think this is the first MOD involving shivans that is actually shivan-approved. ;)

Might warn anyone that the missions will be a lot harder to do than your average shoot'n'kill mission.

:lol: where have you been?

Had restarted it awhile ago, but never got much work done on it other than the SS Animations, due to school. But since I just turned in my research paper, whoo hoo! :drevil:

Unnecessary. None of the missions from the old build will be used, really. And all the graphical stuff had to be redone anyway.

Those screenshots would look much more shivany if the HUD were red...
Title: Hidden Terror - Hiring
Post by: DragonClaw on March 31, 2004, 04:14:15 pm
I'm aware of that. The HUD is LS's job. But I really need to work on these missions. Blasted FREDing skills of mine. :doubt:
Title: Hidden Terror - Hiring
Post by: Antares on March 31, 2004, 07:21:16 pm
You can make the HUD red just by tinkering with the color configuration levels in the options screen, can't you?
Title: Hidden Terror - Hiring
Post by: DragonClaw on March 31, 2004, 07:45:26 pm
Yes, but the whole hud will be changed, not just the color. So I didn't bother. ;)

So... anyone interested in FREDding for a really different campaign? :)

Post by: Arculis on April 02, 2004, 09:42:13 pm
How were they planning to handle the shivan's ability to menuever sideways/backwards, etc...?
Title: Hidden Terror - Hiring
Post by: kasperl on April 03, 2004, 02:26:00 am
there are keys for that already, including some stuff the SCP has done..

Mmmnn, suppose no one wants to FRED. 'tis a shame, really.

And yes, there were keys for that stuff already.
