I need help developing a Si-Fi third person shooter!? (We will build a universe!)

[Sonicnerd18]

Hello my name is Daniel.

I've been developing an extensive comic book universe (called Abstract) for a little over a year now. It took me a while, but its slowly leaving the concept phase into something real. However that's somewhat of another story. My true reason for coming here is that I have now come up with an idea for a game that loosely ties into my universe, called Inhuman. I have the whole comic book series planned out, and this game fills in the gap between a few hundred years (if you want to know more details about Abstract series, then just let me know). Inhuman is a third person shooter set in the year 2096, and several decades before on this alternate Earth superhuman's/superhero's where once a thing (there is much more to it, but this is what takes form in Abstract before events in Inhuman), and the worlds government develops the Bioplex (a biologically engineered soldier) and Mecha (a cybernetic enhanced soldier) super soldier to combat such things when they are to happen again. If you want more I'll be glad to spill more details, but that is a quick jest of the plot. I am a pretty decent writer, I have already written several scripts for Abstract, but Inhuman is an extremely early concept phase, and I've began some character, story, and gameplay written concepts for Inhumane. I plan on learning some C++ or python programming pretty soon, and gather some other people who could help move the project along. I already have some experience in HTML, CSS, and Java, so it shouldn't be that hard. I am a gamer at heart, and from that personal passion I know what a true gamer really wants. We want a unique experience that no other game, or form of media could tell or portray. We want something that is fun,and will last for years, and I know I have it. My vast knowledge of technology, and how it can bring si-fi and reality together as one will make Inhuman all the more immersive and believable, and I can't wait to see what individuals show interest in my project!


<Updated>
As the weeks have passed I'm starting to gain a couple more people to help, but to really get any kind of prototypes started I will need people with one of these three skills: programming, animating, or level designing.

So... What do you need help with? Anything specific?

[Sonicnerd18]

Well, I have to start some where. The central idea is underway, and I could use any valuable skill someone could offer. Whether that be a programmer, character designer, level designer.

[Sonicnerd18]

Also, just to clear up any confusion, Abstract I is what I started on a year ago. With Inhumane I literally started putting down stuff a couple weeks ago. So, it will be a couple days before I finish those documents, but I can show you bits and pieces of what I have.

[puregarlic]

Alright. I can't do much but write, format documents, and set up software, but if you need any help with writing, gameplay design, experience design, etc, I'd love to help. Your universe idea sounds pretty cool and I'd like to learn more and contribute anything I can. Just tell me the basics of what you want the game to be and I can try to write out a balanced and unique experience to your liking.

[Sonicnerd18]

Yeah, I would like that. I can somehow link you to the stuff I have now, like upload it to Google drive or something. Also, I'll put together a synopsis of the entire Abstract universe since it would be good to know the bigger picture. I've been wanting to do that, but never actually got to it.

[Sonicnerd18]

Anything you could offer up Parapup is all that I could ask for. So, if you could create some level concepts or design some mockups that would be nice!

[puregarlic]

Upload it to Drive, send me a friend request on Steam, and I'll give you my email so you can share the files with me.

[Sonicnerd18]

Ok, I'm close to finishing the one I have, so I'll show it to you sometime tomorrow, or wedensday.

If you need any help with music or sound on your project, let me know! It sounds like your still early on in the development stages, but the concept sounds awesome.

[Sonicnerd18]

Yeah, we are in early development, but that's exactly what we could use. We had one other guy that was going to help us, but he didn't understand that. Although, yeah what ever you can do is appreciated.
