[B]I will sum up the entire thread in this line:[/B]
I am working on a mod for Halflife-2 episode 2 called Alice, I've been working for 3 years on this mod I have experience in mapping and texturing and I am looking for a modeler that would like to help me.

Some pictures to grab your attention.
I do realize that the amount of info I'm going to give you is excessive. But in this way I can use it as future reference aswell with possible other threads.
[B]The Idea (Yep I'm an Ideas guy surprising eh?)[/B]
The mod is based around the Alice in wonderland story, but only the basics. (You do play as Alice though hence the name). So originally the big plan was to combine both Lewis Carroll's and Edgar Allen Poe's work. This still is mostly the case but I threw in some K-pax And some conspiracy theories to finish the job now. In Alice I want the player to gradually tie the loose ends together.
[B]The Gameplay[/B]
With the game I want to make a First Person Puzzler. Basically you should think along the lines of Myst (In short terms: I want the puzzles to be somewhat challenging). But there is one big difference between Myst and Alice: you are not alone so npc interaction will be a big thing as well.
So not only will you be the one to complete the puzzles but you will sometimes need to interact with npc's. Also I will use some of the First Person aspects of course.
[B]The Aesthetics [/B]
The game will take place about 7 years after the release of Alice through the looking glass. Because of the fact the time goes faster in wonderland ( there is actual logic behind that which I might explain later on) the technology that they had access to is steam engines. Basically the game looks at what would happen if steam power is the only energy source and what would happen if you would keep innovating in that direction?
Basically this will be a steam punk game with a lot of attention to megalomanic projects (this is actually an inside about the mod inside the game). The main idea here is that wonderland is a land with lots and lots of possibilities and above all no economic break that keeps a tight leash on ideas.
Everything that is made in Wonderland is BIG in one way or another.
[B]The Storyline[/B]
You (that means the player) will play as Alice Liddell daughter of Henry Liddell. As the game starts you will see a burning house as a sort of flashback (this is a reference to the story black cat by Poe not as some might argue a rip-off of American Mcgee's Alice). Then the game will flicker over to somebody running through the woods in First Person perspective. The female narrator will say that this is the only place she can go to now. And then she will fall through the hole. Once in wonderland you will notice however that wonderland is somewhat different from the wonderland that you remember with the only similarity being that all the doors are still locked.
Thus you will have to start with finding an exit. ( the first level will serve as a demo of the later levels in the sence that you will visit a lot of different locations that will be seen from another perspective later on).
I will not spoil anything more of the story. (Mainly because it still needs some work great plot twists and such).
So what do I need of you the modeler?
I would like some help with making models for important puzzles.
I have little experience with making models although I have followed some tutorials.
Will I be able to pay you?
No unfortunately not. It is a zero budget mod.
