DistantHope is looking for artists Thread

In Short
Distant Hope is a new ambitious Source engine mod based around late World War III or an immediate post-nuclear-apocalyptic situation, the plans are to include large scale urban and country-side maps.

Introduction
Death came swiftly on wings of night. The crisis and conflict that sent the first ICBM roaring into the sky is now lost to science, but one was all it took. Defense networks were triggered, automated systems kicked in, and before the first night of World War III was over, most of mankind’s population centers, army bases and supplies vanished in a thousand flashes of light, silent and surgical.

There was no deployment, no strategy, no engagements. Missiles of chemical, fusion and fission technologies wiped most of mankind clean off the map. The survivors woke to a world in ruins, with most infrastructures gone, no governments, no standing armies, no direction. World War III was both the shortest and longest war in the history of warfare: it was over in hours, and yet ten years later, we are still fighting in its throes, lost and broken, our very days a struggle for survival, a human race where the victors get to live to fight on another day. Our one, distant hope, is to fight hard enough and long enough that a bite is taken out of the chaos that our world has become, so that we can sit and rest for a day... one single day without bloodshed and violence.
