So folks, given that Alex is gone (which is still hard for me to assume as a fact) I will tell what I would do the next few months in case of his retreat: The plan is patch #2 (KF version 2.2). That is something I already work on and what I would do anyways, even without the help of other people. Anything further, we need a team for. So, everyone who wants to participate in the development of this mod, should say so, in this thread. What we directly need: Coders Mappers Modellers Concept artists Here's what I thought of to keep this project running: We need at least 2 different divisions. MP/Core and SP (Singleplayer. If we want to inplement a proper singleplayer we need a seperate division for it, since we lost a determined Artist with Alex who could work on this all by himslef) We would need leaders for those divisions, being responsible to hold their shit together. And by that, I mean this will be a tough job, determination from people in this community is one thing, holding up the motivation for months is something completely different. So, I would like to take care of the MP and the Core gameplay part of this while I would like to see Uwasa (HAHA, you said if I needed you brother, be careful with what you propose  ) having the lead over singlePlayer division. He can make up a great story for it and make the team having a consistent flow of maps which have to do with that story. If there is Single Player, I want it to make sense. So that's it, for now. If you think you have something to contribute, even if you don't have knoweldge right now but are determined to learn during the proces (But beware, that will be especially difficult) may write now. |

Hit me baby, I can make maps, MP or SP. It's all good. I intend to get a job in the future as a concept artist, and that's something which comes extremely easily to me, so I'm open to doing some of that to. I can model in maya, but I've not done a huge amount so I don't know any advanced stuff. I can knock out models fine though (as to whether they are any good is open for debate). I'm leaning as I go along to make textures in photoshop (With a very advanced version of it too, so I can do all the right things) and I'm getting closer and closer to nailing the 'KF' style. I can't skin models though, and setting up advanced textures such as shaders is something I've not done correctly yet. I intend to find out how to do this (the shaders) via online tutorials later. So, there you go. I'd really like to help.  EDIT: I also found out I'm getting broadband in 3.5 weeks. Woo! so hopefully I can participate more on that side of things. One of the most usefull forms of feedback for mapping is seeing how other people react to the situations in your maps.  |

SP team lead huh? Certainly didn't expect something that immense... but I'll do it... hell, it was always my dream job to help design games from a writer's standpoint. If you need concept art as well, sign me up for that for the moment. Not sure how well I can do, I'm not bad, but i'm not exceptional... my girl can coach me a bit though.
As I said, whatever you need me for.

Zynth, I would most definately be honored (and I'm sure the rest would too) to have you score the project.
Already I have some ideas... can you do creepy? Like, not necessarily pulse pounding metal (which will have its place) but like those creepy string sounds you hear in horror movies, or are you mostly adept with a techno/rock sort of thing?
Not sure about what we'd do for single player at the moment... I assume that would follow MP, which means the best of us will be working on that, and those with free-time on the SP portion.
Hmm, of course, MP won't need maps right away, so maybe Kyben and Doyora could stick with me for a bit?

If I could pick up back on modeling, I'm sure I could do some models, static messes, weapons, shit like that...but players or anything don't count on it. Of course this is IF I can pick back up on it, if my dad is willing to help me learn how to model(which might be unlikely).
I'm usually free practically all day untill 6:30pm US Eastern time, so if I got into it I'm sure I could do it. And if need be, I'm sure my dad could teach me how to UV map, as he does that kind of stuff all the time...

Well, I´m sure I´ll regret this later on ... but anyway, here I am. I´m not too sure where I can be put to use, but if you find something, someone to look after the forums or need moral support or whatever - I´m here. Dunno how long I`ll be able to keep up, but right now I`m a jobless bum with a lot of spare time every now and then |

Having more music from Zynthetic would be 1337. Especialy if it were in the vein of Sin, soma and the masquerade. |

I'm up for concept art and MP and SP Maps, any storyline writing I won't mind pitching that in as well.

Well Hayato, I'm impressed. Anyone who wants to try concept art, I'll have a project for you soon to sort of test the water, that way I can get a feel for what you can do. No hurry, but it'll give you an idea of what I'm going to be asking for.
And anyone who is willing to help is a godsend, don't feel bad if you don't have any skills. I've already been outlining the basic single player map. When I get a team assembled we can start discussing it... I've spoken to Pix about getting Faust and I moderator privileges and a private board for the development team.
