12" Proudly presents: What if Meteors Prevail Thread

“What if Meteors Prevail?” is a sci-fi based first person shooter that combines elements of a horror survival game and a team based multiplayer experience.

While it has some similarities to other games in the FPS category it is aimed to be an innovative take on the genre. 12” productions hopes to bring players into the world of W-I-M-P and create an exciting and memorable experience through refined gameplay in great contrast to today’s one dimensional twitch fests.

While most first person shooters cater to the trigger happy crowd with 2 minute rounds of mindless run and gun style gameplay, we hope to introduce half hour periods of cinematic immersion.

Features:

Two radically unique sides - Experience the game as either the team oriented Aggression Ranger or one of the lone-wolf Monsters, each providing drastically unique gameplay.

You know them and you love them! – The monster team is composed of some of the most recognizable 50’s sci-fi creatures including but not limited to:

• The Zombie – Might be stiff, might be dumb, but he wants your CHOPS, and he wants them now!
• The ROBOT – not your everyday kitchen appliance, this one is armed with two supercharged plasma cannons and hes tired of taking out your trash.
• The Insect – Daddy-Longlegs? Lest just say that you're going to need a bit more than just a broom!
• And many more to come…

Life after death – Who said its all has to end when you pass on? In W-I-M-P dead players can be just as important as those left alive.

Single player – A full seperate experience that will act as a prequel to the multiplayer component.

how do you expect to do all this? It seems too ambitious just for a group of about 15 (if your lucky to get that many poeple) while game companies take years to make anything like your game and they have a staff of 100 working on it 24/7.

I mean I know we are planning on doing a lot. We set out to stand out and be innovative. But how exactly is this all that much more than any other of the higher end mods? It's obviously going to be more work than most, since we want to incorporate a lot of different gameplay aspects and making them flow together will definitely be a challenge, but without trying one cannot succeed. I agree, things may get too daunting and the team may fall apart, but I'd rather have that happen and be the wiser because of it, than just settle for another WW2 or 3 realism mod.

So is it an ambitious project? Hell yeah!

Can we get it done? I sure as hell am willing to find out.

Game companies aren't willing to make anything ambitious as this because they are afraid they will lose money.

llama u bring a smile to my face.

To answer Operatrivex’s question, I don’t think that the project is exceptionally ambitious except maybe in its concept. The actual work (models, maps, skins, textures and animations) that needs to be done doesn’t really exceed today’s standards.

Not to mention that far cry is designed to be very mod friendly.

Settle ppls settle.. Nice teh_fonx middle one is cool

I agree Skitzay, I think fonx did a great job with that one. It looks great and gives a great feel for where the game is going. Just wait till Far Cry comes out or the SDK does, and I think you'll hear a lot more from us.

thnx skitz , but if you think that that the fly drawing is cool, just wait till you see what Dan is cooking up in 3d max.
