I, however, plan to anticipate the release of the Halo Editing Kit(HEK) by planning, designing, and building everything required to make a quality Campaign, and I have chosen the missions from the books(embellished for action and fun's sake
) as the source storyline for this Campaign. I plan on remaining as true to the book(s) as possible which means that I have a massive task set before me.I would very much want the assistance of anyone, and specifically the members of this site, who have contributed amazing work to the Halo mod community. Here is a brief list of some help I need(from my website).
- Modeller -BIG requirement levels are the main thing in this Mod, as most of the enemies, textures, sounds and AI will be pulled from existing sources
Skinner - another BIG job; I can model fairly well, but skinning those models is not my cup 'o tea
Animator - there will be massive amounts of cutscenes, so if you would like to contribute to this section as well, we'll need you. Also, we will need a biped animator for the development of Brutes. We may have to cut them from the final product if we can't get them polished enough
2D artist - we have several new enviroments and characters to deal with, so that means TEXTURES!!! wheee!!
Voice talent - if you think you've got what it takes to record the voiceovers for the cutscenes, ambiant noises for new characters or other challenges, we need you too!
Programming experience- Another subject I breifly comprehend, but don't excel at... and this will probably(unless we can tweak banshee physics) be required for the ship2ship combat. Either way, we'll need AI coders.
Conceptual Designers- I'm not the most creative person, so I'll need all the help I can get to design original levels. I am going to start this phase as soon as possible, so this is the primary goal: get some levels designed. If you want to help out, create some concept sketchs/ideas and send 'em to me. It would be great bragging rights to your girlfriend. "This this high quality Halo mod? I helped design this level"
My webpage also contains further project details, such as mission data and will be updated frequently with progress reports and other opportunities. Again, my webpage is at http://firststrike.web1000.com
Thank you for your attention and I hope that many of you join my quest to create a high-quality Campaign mod.
