I'm looking for a team that is developing a HL2 mod (other engines are debateable) that needs an orignal story, as well as giving me some experience in mapping and coding. Genres that I prefer would be Sci-fi/Fantasy crossbreed, Sci-fi, Mythology, or occult.

Barring that I can't find a team, or I get enough of a responce, I'm looking to recruit members of a mod team.

I have a story and mod idea for the Darkover universe by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I think the CRPG lends itself greatly to this medium.

I also have an orignal universe that I've been writing for the past few years that is a sci-fi/occult cross.

In any case I've noticed that there seems to be an abundance of proposed mods and few that seem will be followed through with. So I'd prefer the first option with a well established mod.

i have a half-life 1 mod in the pipeline, a very narrow pipe though.
i could use someone to write the story so i can have something to go on for the maps. plus i have no code know-how and would need some one else to help make maps. in all a very small mod and team.
about three people min and four max.

well i've got no name yet, but it won't be a cs clone or any of that sh@t. it'll be a short single player game and a bit of deathmatch throw in. with a bit of viriety of course.

Just to clarify. Yes I am a writer looking to create a story for a mod. I would hope that you'd have a rough idea of at least a premise for me to go on though.

Have any ideas as to what you're looking for deathmedic? PM me with them so I can take a look. And if anyone else has any ideas let me know.

Does the term Darkover even ring a bell with anyone? :) Cause that in and of itself would be an awesome mod.

The OutCast project has a wide variety of concepts and ideas that are all cross-connected with a basic simpler idea. We have the game divided several obvious sections, and in each of the sections we tell a story. We've a heck of a lot of information regarding a great deal of how the game pans out gameplay wise at Blastkowitcz.tk but as for how the stories run in each section - that's up to the writer! We like to have some form of dramatic story written out for some of the sections - but we also end up twisting the same said plot to fit our needs.
You'll get the opportunity to be fairly creative throughout your own sections, however there will be obvious constrictions related to the plot. We're hoping to include some serious cut-scenes that can also be used, rather than the 'talking heads' style that have so often been seen, so you can abuse that too! We have both an occult section and a couple of sci-fi sections as well as a heavy sci-fi element - but be warned, this isn't a heavily serious mod, we're working towards something that can both be seen as a masterpiece and an amusing title.

Check our site out, and feel free to ask as many questions as you like, if you find you're interested in some project work, then it won't be any trouble to hook you up at all ;)!

There's a lot to be said that I shan't type out here, but a heavy core of concept has already been introduced into each section which will limit your total creativity, but as to how everything will truly work, well that's upt o you.

Thanks!
