Ninja Mod Recruiting Thread

Hey, this is RedG3.

This mod, for Half-Life 2, is still in the conceptual stage, so a real name has not yet been established but we are looking to build up a good team so we have a good bit of work to release when we make our public debut.

The mod will be based on fast-paced action that takes advantage of the advanced physics featured in Half-Life 2 by implementing the ability to run on walls, swing on poles and many other acrobatic stunts you would think a ninja would be capable of.

The current team is thus:
RedG3 - Co-Leader, Lead Programmer
MunkyBallZ - Co-Leader, Lead Concept Artist, Lead Skinner
Ben - Programmer
ninjaR0CKER - Programmer
Anti - Sound Engineer, Mapper
Magejojo - Sound Engineer, Skinning
Mistchiff - Music/Effects, Concept Art, 3D Modeler
Enjoi - 3D Modeler
Cason - Concept artist

I myself have been developing my own 3D FPS game engine for sometime and have a lot of experience programming and making mods. MunkyBallz is an amazing concept artist who has done freelance work for big companies such as Blizzard. This is a very dedicated and talented team and we are looking for more memebers in all areas. If you would like to apply, or simply want to check out the current mod progress, please visit our temporary forums: Timesnewromance.com
You can also reply by applying to this post if you wish.

We look forward to replies and hope to work on a very high quality mod with some of you.

Ummm.. why do you still need members with a team like that? No disrespect intended.

because ninjas are very complex beings, requiring much fine tuning.

O...in that case okay..

Hello there, RedG3! I'm very interested in being a part of your mod. I'm a very a dedicated, organized, and talented documentist who has quite some time on his hands.

I can write a vast storyline that will capture the player with immense, breath-taking action and adventure. I'm also capable of making a very organized design document to keep each team member in sync on what they're to do. I could also even take some extra time every week to send out a newsletter to inform the public of the updates each step of the way.

If you consider me, which I hope very much you do, please simply PM me. The current e-mail in my profile is incorrect.

Lol, Izava, I wish I caught you. My story needs a lot of work. If you aren't too busy with his, then I'd love to have you aboard ^_^

Oops, hijacking the thread. It sounds like a cool mod, RedG3, although I think you don't need any more members if you have a complex team such as that. Stick to a small team, since they're much easier to manage

Well, we are all very busy and so I was looking to spread out the work a bit more. Also, some of the people on that list are currently inactive and will be dismissed if they don't show up soon.

We are still currently looking for modellers, skinners, and animators. Thanks for all the comments Izaza, check your pm and raptrex, check the mod forums.

The team has been brainstorming for awhile and we have some more detailed features that we plan to implement. Hope to hear some feedback so we can release a quality and fun to play mod to the community.

First off, we thought of the name Dawn of Sengoku. Sengoku means "many battles". It is our temporary name for now unless people really like it because I think we can think of better, but let us know what you think about it.

Weapon System:
- Save up gold in order to buy better weapons.
- If you kill, steal and object, or capture a point you get gold
- You can also upgrade armor(raises health by 50)
- Doesnt reduce what your class can do(such as speed)

Class System:
We didn't want to have a restricting class structure(one class has a certain 2 weapons or so), so there will be 4 basic classes on each team(ninja vs. samurai). A class that is really fast would not be able to wield heavy weapons and would have moderate armor/health. The slowest class on a team would have the most health and be able to carry heavy weapons and duel wield as well. The complete class list with particulars such as peasant, assasin, etc. will be posted on our forums once they are finished. They will be finished within a day.

Weapon Layout:
- Default 3rd person view for acrobatic stunts and melee weapons(daggers, swords, polearms, ninchakus, etc...)
- 1st person for ranged weapons(throwing daggers, ninja stars, bows, and crossbows, etc...)
- Everyone has max of 3 weapons
- 1 quick
- 1 melee
- 1 ranged

Duel Wielding:
- Can have both quick and melee weapons held at the same time.
- If you have two weapons equiped (one melee, one quick) then both will show on your character
- If your another class, and have both equipped, you have to switch weapons because your only allowed one.

Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to visit our forums for further discussion:

Hope to get some input from everyone and be sure to check out the forums to make sure your ideas are apart of this mod. More elaborate details will also be posted on the site which we will have soon hopefully.

Red, I've read your PM and have already signed up on the forum. I'm also creating a list of idea's I've come up with for the mod, and I'm sure you'll be quite amused by some of them. However, I won't be able to post them on the forum because my browser is acting up and won't let me paste.

Anyhow, sorry Karuto, but like I said, I'm dedicated.

Awesome, glad to have you aboard . I'll add you to the Mod Dev group on the forums.

you should have someone or some source to accurately depict the art of ninjutsu, then mix it with fantasy. That was you'll get stances and techniques inspired by the actual art form.

i learn ninjitsu well a sub-art called Hebbi Yugasa
