XRUCIFIX: Help us develop your Nightmares

MackXX

We're a group of people with a common goal, to make a fun game. We've secured a next generation engine (Reality Engine) and have been developing our title for the last several months. We're looking for volunteers, like ourselves, that are looking to develop a fun game. Either it be for a mesh or for the long run, any help is welcome help.


Eternal War: Nightmares:
'Nightmares' is primarily a first person action/adventure that brings together the universal concept of good versus evil in an expanding story arc.

Are you providing the team members with a build of the game engine so they can test their models?

[/ QUOTE ]

+) Yes. They'll get the model/level editor (which does it in real time) and also the launch executable (for play testing).

What are you working on right now?

Right now we're focused on the multiplayer aspect of the game. DM, TDM, CTF, Co-op and a few others.

thefatladysings

any weapon/character concepts still free? It looks like a really awesome project and I would love to contribute some models

MackXX

Thanks for your kind comments. Most of the people that we're going to take care of the concepts we're bitten by the real life bug. I'm not much one for harassing people to get things done (other than a few emails now and then), I did a check and never heard back (thus my assumption). So you can have your pick of whatever you find interesting:

Weapons:
Rattler
Sword 1
Harvester arm
Spore Grenades
Spin Blade
Sword 2
WyrmBane
CTF Flag

Characters:
Rideable Eagle
Heavy Armour Angel
Demon Heavy
Harvest Demon
Necro
Passive Dweller
Jumpy Dweller

Items:
Armour Shard

Environmental:
Any piece from the environment concepts

Drop me an email (mack@xrucifix.com) if you have any questions or the like.

EarthQuake

dibs on the retribution, yeah i actually plan on doing it to!

MackXX

Sure thing EQ, took it off the list

aesir

I've seen this thread floating around for quite a while but never touched any of the links. Gotta say theres some impressive stuff in there. When I have time in a few months I'll try and get on one of em for ya.

thefatladysings

dibs on the armour shard, that can't be too hard
does your engine support glow maps?

MackXX

Thanks for the compliment Aesir, whenever you're available just drop me an email.

Added your dibs for the Armour Shard fatlady, I look forward to seeing your handiwork on it.

Glow maps is a feature we'd like to add into the engine, currently it doesn't support it.

Jarrod1937

dibs on the spinblade, if thats even free, i am not sure what your dibs system is (do the *'s mean they're taken or free or nothing at all?). i'll be busy for a week or so but should find time to do it after that. is it ok if we show the models in our portfolios? i can't see why not but just asking.
and since it seems the spin blade is a goldlike material, and gold is a tricky metal to reproduce, does your engine support selecting a diffuse color for the diffuse and then a different color for the specular? and does it support reflection/envrionment maps?
since these are standard i am sure it does, again, just making sure.

MackXX

Anything that I posted here is free for grabs; which includes the SpinBlade.

I have no problem with showcasing your work on your protfolio.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes. It also supports *.fx shaders so if you had a specific one in mind we could import it into the game to use.

EarthQuake

IIRC realityengine supports full colored specular, or simply a greyscale specular with an RGB value to tint your spec, but these might have been custom shaders we had.

MackXX

Forgot to add this:

Outside Demon Base

nurow

praetus

Sent you an e-mail. I'm interested in the Necro character and also the spore grenades.

MackXX

Thanks for sending that my way. I replied.

MackXX

I haven't updated in a bit, figured I'd post some more stuff to stir the pot up again. We're still looking for some talented 3d artists willing to take on characters, weapons and enviromental props. Enviromental props I have divided up very simiply and easily, so if you want to work on something small and quick I can arrange that very easily.

Now, onto some more character concepts:

Mike
Willpower
Donovan

Chai

Hey nice concept art, I'd love to help with the small stuff from time to time as I have extra time between projects.

I'll send you an email with my skype/msn address.

MackXX

Thanks for email, I replied.

MackXX

I'm posting up some of the great 3d art done by various artists that hasn't been shown on polycount (at least not in a dedicated thread).

We still have a need for any interested 3d artists for enviromental work, weapons, characters and the like. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

MackXX

The Mace

Cannon

We're still looking for next gen. artists interested in joining our group to flesh out these concepts into 3d. If your interested then drop me an email: mack@xrucifix.com
