Greetings,
I would like to present abit of my mod wich I have been working on for the past weeks, hopeing to find some interested people to work on it. Warriors of Hyrule is a HL2 Mod based on the Nintendo 64 game, "The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time". As for the Mod its self, its genre is Fantasy, RPG, Deathmath, Coop. Adapting as much of the original as possible, I hope to bring the ultimate feeling of playing The Legend of Zelda. Tho this is converted to a multiplayer game, some changes and adjustments must be made to make the game fast, fun and suitable for a multiplayer game.
I am not going to discuss to much about the game features. The biggest highlight would be the Deathmatch and Coop features combined with RPG elements. There will be two differnt kind of maps. Deathmatch maps and Coop maps.
On the deathmatch map players can battle eachother, wich is obvious for a DM game.
On Coop maps, players are in the same team. They will stride with there friends through the original dungeons, solving puzzles and fighting monsters.
By participating in either map types. Players will unlock new items, upgrades and other things that you normaly would in the original game. Using a SQL database, player items, money and the sort are stored. Meaning no matter on what server you are on, you will allways have access to thos items you have unlocked before.
What you just read is a short overview about the current gameplay plans. There is more but im not going to go into much detail now.
Im a programmer and so far ive done things like the camera and playermovment. I have also made simple proto animations useing a self rigged model of the original link character for testing my code.
We have a Music composer, 3D Animator, 3D Artist and a Concept Artist atm.
Now if you are interested. Your job is to create a higher quality version of the original models, animations, sounds and music. Meaning that everything must be self made but as close to the original as possible. I can provide images and samples of the original game content. Or you can just get what ever information you need by looking at the game through a n64 emulator.
As for now. The most important things I need for the team is a mapper, the current team is formed out of a Programmer, Music Composer, 3D Artist that does charater models, 3D Animator and a Concept Artist. I am willing to look at any quality modellers/animators that are willing to help out, even tho I already have one this doesnt mean a second wouldnt be more than welcome.
If you would like to see the camera and playermovment work ive done. You can download this short fraps clip i recorded.
