[Unpaid, for experience] LF game artist collaboration - Beyond the Grave
Project Name: Beyond the Grave
Genre: 3D Shooter
Quick about: Zombie shooter with a twist
Story:
The protagonist of the story is a scientist who has just grown the first human brain for transplant. This new discovery, intended to revolutionise the world of medicine, actually will bring about its downfall. The artificially grown super-brain has unleashed a massive delta wave field and awoken zombies that have been dormant for thousands of years. If only he had spent his time inventing some awesome weapons rather than trying to save lives, then maybe he would be able to save himself from the zombies..
Gameplay:
Primarily a FPS the player will not only need to shoot lots of zombies but to build defenses to protect the research lab containing the super-brain. The player will need to collect resources from the surrounding environment and use these to construct the defenses which will include walls, traps, new weapons, ammo supplies and automated defenses.
What sets the game apart from every other zombie shooter:
When the player is killed by the zombies instead of a game over screen and the empty feeling of dissapointment, the player will come back to life as one of the undead. The player then has the same desire as the rest of the undead horde (eat the super-brain) but if the player makes it to the super-brain before the other zombies they will be returned to life. The only thing standing between zombie-you and resurrection are the defenses you erected to keep zombies out. With this in mind players must design defenses that will keep the zombies out but that they will be able to crack if worse comes to worse and they are zombified.
Development:
There is currently a first alpha release on the development blog of Beyond the Grave - http://beyondthegravegame.wordpress.com This release is meant to demonstrate the game and help in the search for collaboration on the project, it is not a fully working game.
I am currently after someone who is interested in collaborating on the Beyond the Grave project and contributing artwork and models including character models, weapons and environment models. Check out the dev blog and contact me at beyondthegravegame[at]hotmail.com
