Ivan's Secrets. Members needed.

Postby JLea on Tue Apr 29, 2008 2:03 pm

Hey guys,
I'm from the "Ivan's Secrets" mod and I'm looking for a few members.

Ivan's Secrets is a single player total conversion for the source engine. We plan to create a small yet fullfilling FPS game set in Russia.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Scenario

Isolated from the world, the Caucasus Mountains are the home to many mysteries...

Shot down while on an airborne drop during WW3, the player finds himself scattered and confused. Set in the Caucasus Mountains over Russia, the player must find his way back; all while discovering the secrets behind this country and the war.


Features

- An open and fully explorable outdoor environment.
- All new NPC's.
- A deep back-story, with mysteries to solve.
- A brand new drivable vehicle.
- An upgraded companion NPC
- An assortment of new weapons.

____________________________________________________________________________________________


All which will be organized by a highly experienced team. We’ve been in the modding scene for a few years, so we can actually get things done. Now, at the moment we haven't got any maps produced, we're still in the design phase. However, if you're wondering as to our skill, I'm on the Insurgency team as a level designer and my modeller's portfolio is here.

In case you're wondering, I'm trying to keep this mod team small. I don't want 6 mappers and 8 modellers, because things just don't work out that way. That's why I'm only looking for a few highly dedicated members.

I'm still looking for another modeller, a skinner and a mapper.

My contact is "James.C.Lea@gmail.com", so drop me a line if you're interested.

Thanks, I look forward to talking to you.

Is there a website?

I am not able to apply for level design, but if you need any help with Russian just contact me. ;)

PS- Please have more russian weapons instead of western weapons :(

"open and fully explorable outdoor environment"

I don't think source is the best game to handle something like this - i'll be intrested to see if you can pull it off well.

A bunch of text and two grey unskinned models isn't much to show. Do you have anything else that shows your further along? or are you just trying to get a team together to start it off?

It's just me and the modeller at the moment. I haven't finished any of the custom textures and SpeedTree decided not to work on Vista so I'm still yet to produce some map screenshots.

No web designer at the moment.

It not so much a massive outdoor area like Crysis, more like there's lots of stuff to find and do. For instance, a small shack could house some information on what's going on after rummaging through it.

Ahem.


I know, I've been mapping for 3 years. I know what the source engine is capable of, and how to use it.

I'd love to work for this mod, but I'm unfortunately way too unskilled:(

Good luck though, this both looks and sounds promising.
