Yeah yeah I'm back. And yeah yeah, I know I know I've been a big huge jerk. Its been almost a year since I've done anything here BUT I must stress that I am NOT dead

Stormbound (the mod I have on here) has been through so many rewrites and changes that the initial idea isn't even the same as it was the last time I posted it

Yeah, I posted some goofy third person tests in the source engine, but I have to admit... the engine itself is getting a bit dated.

Third Person is a hassle, coding is a pain in the ass, animating isn't easy, and working with textures and shaders is a hassle

I've rewritten the game once more, but now its a space puzzle/thriller. I can't say that it is Stormbound, because its not. Its a new game that was created from elements of Stormbound.

I got no messages what so ever about people helping with animations. That is going to be the hardest part I think. I'm looking into some sort of home remedy to motion capture. Worst case scenario, I'll just record myself doing all of the actions and "trace" each frame with a 3d biped...

I have a full time job, I go to school full time, and I'm working on moving with my girlfriend. You can imagine how much free time I get to work on these games. Little to none.

Everything I listed is very important to me, so instead of me working on a game for a weekend and posting videos and screenshots, I'm going to wait until I get far into development.

I graduate soon, so I'll have more time to do it

You heard it here first

The Oracle project is coming along swimmingly. For everyone who doesn't know, it's a Single player Half Life 2 mod, much inspired by the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series. The story is still being worked on but is coming together pretty well.

If anybody out there feels like helping me out on the mod, I could really use a third person camera code and I could use somebody to generate the phonemes in Face Poser since it doesn't work on my computer. Even so, the mod is coming together greatly and I hope I can get it out sometime in the near future :)

I thought I would sign up and see what the fuss is about! Let us all introduce ourselves :) Feel free to add your info in the comments!

I'm Ian, 21, and I am currently working on an unnamed Mod for Half Life 2 which I hope will end up being a fun third person survival horror.

I am looking for maybe a 3d modeler and a coder to help me with a few things (3rd person camera, enemy models)

Thanks for visiting my page :)
