Introducing EVARENA

Gilbert

Greetings,

After two years of developement in secret, we are now ready to start talking publicly about our project.

We are developing a Mod for Unreal Tournament 2004, that is based on the popular manga Neon Genesis Evangelion and is called EVARENA!

http://www.planetunreal.com/evarena/

We want to thank PlanetUnreal for hosting our site, we are very proud about that.

In Evarena you become the pilot of a giant robot called EVA and you get to battle other Evas in the traditionnal Deathmatch gameplay. The Evas possess some special powers which give a new twist to the game and make it unique from Unreal Tournament.

We are all studying in the same University and we are doing this game as our bachelor’s degree synthesis project. We must have a demo ready for the end of April 2005. We'll do our best to make a Beta available during the first week of May. We then intend to complete the game early this summer and have a worldwide release on the Internet early August 2005 with support, fixes and updates to the project until 2006.

This project is not a "big" project, we intend to do a small, fun, high-quality mod, not a Counter-Strike killer

For the present time we are not looking to include new members to our team. Well, not untill our degree is over.

A forum should be available soon on the website and we hope that a small community of Evarena enthusiasts will grow.

We'll work hard to make it known as the funniest mod ever!

So please hit the website link above and we hope you will like our project concept.

Unauthorized by Ginax

I only noticed that after closer inspection, on first glance at the huge ginax logo it looks like they are cool with this mod... seeing how the logo is in your "sponsors" area!! oh lol lol lol nice one.

looks like a cracking mod, I'd love to run around rural and urban japan in a giant mecha blasting the hell out of stuff!

Would have been probably better to go with a 'copy' of Neongenesis, instead of using it unauthorized, exspecially with the upcoming movie (and the games that are probably released with it).

But I like what I see so far, just make sure you get that 'big and heavy' feel, otherwise it will play like normal sized players in liliput city

Is this what became of Jupiter Effect?

Thanks guys,

Many people beleive that ADV will shut us down, some other say they are cool about it. We'll ask them what they think about it and hope they will grand us the authorization.

So that's why I wrote "unauthorized by" on our sponsor page, in hope to some day change it to "authorized". We could add the other companies involved with the franchise too like ADV(US) and Glenat(Fr).

A teacher told me not to worry about lawsuits though, the proceedings will have to go through our bureaucracy aswell.

So what exactly should I write instead of "unauthorized"? "Copied on" doesn't sound good to me.

maybe use "influenced by and based on the anime by..."
