It's been a long time coming, but development of SourceForts 2 is finally underway.
In case you've never heard of SourceForts, you can see the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SourceForts]Wikipedia's article[/url], and trailers for the previous versions [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZXebEVAsR0]here[/url] and [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDKobETGN-U]here[/url]. It was originally released as a free mod and enjoyed a fair bit of success (150k downloads, couple Game of the Year awards, first (or second) mod to be featured on Steam, featured in PC Zone and on GigaTV), and now we're working on SourceForts 2 as an indie game.
SourceForts 2 is being created from the ground up and will bring classic SF1.9.X gameplay as well as new game modes, characters, weapons and more (including an official league and stats tracking). SF2 is set in the slightly-distant future, on an Earth inhabited only by large killing machines once designed to aid humans. Oh and weapons - lots and lots of weapons. There is no strict setting for the game, but instead a general theme of "nature reclaiming society" - we hope this will give our level designers the freedom to experiment with varying styles of environments and architecture.
Our team is currently comprised of:
-2 Programmers
-1 Concept Artist/Character Modeler & Animator
-2 Prop & Texture Artists
-2 Level Designers working on brand new maps
-1 Level Designer working on redesigns of SF1.9.x maps
-1 Sound Engineer
-1 Producer/Web Developer/Programmer

Thanks for reading.
I played this in 2007 :D Finally is coming back!!
I've never really played SF, but I might apply for that Level Design position.
Where do I sign up?
So finally it gets confirmed? good. I liked the first.
can i be ideas guy
Im a rather new mapper, but maybe when i can i could help out with level design?
I'm not the most experienced level designer, but I have learned a few things during the years and I do have a lot of free time on my hands. Here are some highlights of the best levels created so far.

[QUOTE=Mech Bgum;36660581]Kinda not fair to show hl2 beta maps i guess.[/QUOTE]
It's not the original, it's a remake.
I used to love the shit out of sourceforts.
It's such a unique and fun CTF game. Glad SF2 might finally see the light of day.
That remake of Traptown makes you deserve apply for the vacant. I loved that map (especially the skybox). I wish i can reach that level someday.

send me a PM or via Steam (azgag).
We're still gathering a few screenshots, once we select a few I'll post them here. It might take a day or two.
fuck yes I loved SourceForts.
This game really died when all the xenon servers died.
It's hard to believe it's been 6 years since I played SourceForts.
Such a great mod.
[QUOTE=The mouse;36665396]This game really died when all the xenon servers died.[/QUOTE]
Xenon was one of the reason SF died, due to his UberForts servers and fail admins (also the fact that you had to pay irl money to get unbanned). another reason was the developpers (none of those aren't on the team anymore) not releasing any updates as well as a forum without any modorators.
It's like Fortwars in TF2?
[QUOTE=Neox;36666348]It's like Fortwars in TF2?[/QUOTE]
SourceForts came first, so Fortwars is like SF ;)
i played the shit out of sourceforts in like 04-06, one of my favorite HL2 mods most definitely, i hope this remake is more popular
Also used to enjoy this mod, look forward to what you guys come up with.
I hope the old menu music will be the same. I heard that it was changed at some point?

Kushkan (the guy that made that music Pulsar) is gonna make the sounds + music, not sure what he plans on doing but an updated version of Pulsar would be awesome.

That alone would have me play this mod again. I'm glad Kushkan is on board with the project!
Have you accepted a new level designer yet?
I loved building shit in this mod, but the gun play was below average(expected from a HL2 mod). Looking forward to the sequel, good luck!
[QUOTE=kaine123;36682743]Have you accepted a new level designer yet?[/QUOTE]
only 2 people contacted us, one of them is a really strong candidate (hai radu_iceman). We're probably gonna wait a few more days in case more people are interested in joining us.

You should really get this position. I really want that Traptown remake, that had me fooled for a minute.

I think he's got a pretty good shot ;)
Oh and for all you old SF fans, [shamelessplug]you should all go like our [URL="http://www.facebook.com/SourceForts"]Facebook page[/URL] to stay up-to-date with SF2's development![/shamelessplug]
Damn, I remember wasting weeks after weeks playing SF. So many fond memories, that is until I got votebanned off my favourite server by griefers.
Hope this turns out well.
Give that fucking position to at least iceman
I played SF1 at midnight on new years eve, three years in a row

We can't really control what people do with their servers, if they have a voteban/votekick plugin. I mean we could have a back door like they did with Insurgency but it's not moral.
But we are trying our best to make the game the least griefable possible.
