I am currently Head Level Designer for an upcoming mod, "The Post Zombie Apocalypse Simulator". (This name is a work in progress.) This single-player mod will consist of a free-roam world where your game is molded based on your decisions throughout the mod itself. We have a team of three currently, 2 mappers, and a fresh slate available to learn a new skill. We have posted several ads and reached out to several of our known friends for assistance on this mod. The only media we have at the current moment is a background image, but this is only because the team was started today, you may see this background image here:

We don't ask that you are an extreme professional in C++, but it will be desired that you know what you're doing. If you can teach, I know our team leader, Duton, is willing to learn and help with the coding.
Examples of what we request from this coder will be given to via email or steam. We plan to have group meetings each time our members are all online while our team remains small, but we do request that dialogue is made each day between members of this team.
If you're interested, send me a private message or contact our team leader, Duton1, on Steam. You can also reach Duton at [email]lightryan@hotmail.com[/email] any time of day.
Can I be an ideas guy?
If it's just an image, why does it have to be in a Youtube video?

The dust motes and coffee steam move, if you look closely. It's easier to tell in-game.
I too would like to be an ideas guy
If you're willing to explain the Source engine I'd like to help, but last time I tried messing with Source I nearly blew my brains out against the back of my desk chair.

You mean Lead Game Director.

What exactly do you not understand? We'll see if we can help you.

And story writer.
We're looking for C++ coders, Lua coders, modelers, and maybe a mapper.
We are not in need of conceptual or story people.

I could be available for mapping, unless you're looking for someone with more experience.

Do you have any pictures of your work for us to look at?

I haven't done much, just a few unfinished TF2 maps.

You probably want someone with more experience though, since I have no artistic direction or high knowledge of triggers.
I don't think somebody learning C++ for the first time will be able to code for this project.

That looks like a decent start. We are considering adding you to the team, but we would like you to make a new map that uses the Ep2 configuration. It should have displacements, gritty details, foliage, and good lighting. Once we look at that we will see if you are fit for the team or not.
Details regarding triggers and NPC's will be explained to you if you do join.

Probably not, but That doesn't mean I can't learn and watch and later on assist, not coxe the entire thing, but assist.

Do you want a finished commercial AAA game with that?

I'm pretty sure they're looking to make a mod...

Pff, why go for a mod when you can make a full game :v:
We don't appreciate the derailing of our thread with meaningless comments, thanks.
EDIT: I do appreciate you trying to make a joke and lighten the enviornment, but it's business time, not joke time :P
Laughing time is over.

Business? How much do you pay? If 0, it's not a business anymore.
[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;28468744]Can I be an ideas guy?[/QUOTE]
No, that's his job.
I must commend OP though for being the first ideas guy to actually use proper English, with spelling and grammar that isn't pure abortion in sentence form.
The reason you make a mod and not a standalone game is that if you do decide to make a game with Source, you must either do so illegally or pay Valve (Like Zeno CLash, for example).
And you are forgetting I am a level designer. Making a map like what I described is a challenge, but not impossible.

And by the way, there is such thing as non profit ;)

We have one coder space taken, we might possibly be looking for a second, Salmon, Capsup should be steam friending you when you get home. If nobody else replies with coding experience within a day, lock the thread.
I have coding experience.
I'm not helping you.
Hey, great to hear, how about you take your jackass attitude to 4Chan where it belongs?

You just committed *slams table* THE FALLACY OF AD HOMINEM!
The question of whether I care about your opinion regarding your will to help or this project still stands. Troll Harder. Exit the thread and let me and salmon get back to why we're here in the first place.
Why are you here? To recruit for a mod that will not even get to alpha stage?
Sorry, you need to Log In to post a reply to this thread.
