Hey guys, I'm making a new game and I'm going to need a team.

Atlas is a disease being developed by a Terrorist group. The disease only triggers after death.
When you die, you will be ressurected and become a zombie, like the rest. Of course, it would be
game over instead of just becoming a zombie.. The disease was released due to one of the scientists
going mad, and injecting the disease into his bloodstream. Since this cannot do anything until death,
he killed hi'mself.

The game is going to be a FPS, Realistic, Single Player Survival game, where you must not be killed by the zombies.
Here is the reason for First-Person, (quote Jacob):
["your running backwards shooting the zombie, and BOOM you run directly into another one, it turns around, and RIPS YOUR FREAKING HEAD OFF!!!!!!!!!!"]
I mean, who can look behind themselves? You never know what could be behind you, it could be a zombie,
or it could be a wall. Either way its going to scare the crap out of you.

There will be 5 engines we will be using.
Rendering - IrrLicht
Physics - Newton
Audio - FMOD
AI - Atlas Engine
Main - Atlas Engine

The Atlas Engine is the main engine, its what makes the game work.

There is something cool about the zombies.
When they dont see you, they are inactive and walk around slowly.
When they SEE you, they run at very high speeds chasing you.
Around every 6 seconds they leap about 10 feet.
The only way to kill a zombie, is to shoot them directly in the head.

As we come up with more ideas, the game will become better.

At least we have a concept this ti'me 
Many thanks to Ji'm for helping me with the concept.
I will be needing a team.
The people I will be needing:
1 Concept Artist (to help us with ideas and such)
2-3 C++ Programmers
2 Quake 3 Mappers
1-2 Model Designers
1 Audio Manager (collects audio, composes, etc)

I copied that from my post in another forum.
Someone has got do to at least one of those jobs  :dontgetit:
A cool feature about this game is, you can blast the zombies with your friends..  3 on 1 woot
by the way, no. I'm not selling.

If its realistic it can't be about zombies, can it? :blink:

[Jakezilla]

yeah ive been working on my project a bit..

We will disbecauses this over msn vegeto

Response to Shivi:

lol, the zombies arent part of the realistic stuff.
Anyways, in the second release there will be a Health Engine, where if you like have 50 health, you will keep losing it until you get a medpack or something..

well...considering your previous history with projects easier than this razor... (you always drop them after a while saying its too hard) I wouldnt know if I would want codex programmers to help out on this...

also, not after that neo thing (which I'm still pretty pissed off about)...I just dont want people wasting their ti'me, as razor is known to drop his projects though he has good ideas...he just doesnt know enough programming yet...

you can be something great when you grow up razor...just stay in school, literally....

[Hidden.Elf]

razor, please do not try and waste our resources with your projects that you later find too hard to work out. Sorry to be so blunt but I had to spit out the facts

[Jakezilla]

hey hey, I'm not dropping this one..
I'm not the programmer, I'm only the director!
I only tell people what to do. obviously nobody would want to help..
MIght as well close this.

[Frosty]

hey that sounds UBER cool, only if its like Ti'me-Crisis, that game ROCKS!!

[Jaf]

Have anyone heard of : RESIDENT EVIL

Well... If you are making something like that I will cheer for you in court

Razor, instead of ani'mating the zombies' faces in 3d, we could run a looping video of you chanting incoherently and talking in ungrammatical, 1 syllable sentences. It'll scare the bloody crap out of me, it could work, I tell ya! just kidding.

[XenoCyde]

cool a game

[Typhoon]

If you do go through with it I can be :beta: tester.

[XenoCyde]

same here

[Jakezilla]

sure guys, change of plans though..
We are going to be making this a modification to doom 3..
It will be released in july, so we have about 2 weeks..

So pretty much we will not be needing ai engines, rendering, etc..
We need to make the models, maps, and all the crazy-go-nuts stuff.
Can anyone help?

[Stephen]

Sure, ill try
