What is Tiberium Cataclysm?
Greetings,
This is Eric, GeneralJist.
I’ve been thinking of this for about a year now, but I wasn’t quite sure how-to do this.
The logo for TC was, made in the Tiberian Eclipse days, (more than a decade ago) and was shelved.
I got busy with Tiberium Secrets, and jump 10 years, ended up making much of the goals of TE into Ts, weather it was a good idea or not. Now my main focus is HG, so never got in the right space to do this.
So,
The original goal was to give C&C and Kane a proper send off.
Somehow through the years we all got wrapped up in the politics of EA and TT, and lost sight of the original goal. RTS is now having a comeback, and I realized we should leave the creation of the full RTS games to the AAA companies, people who are paid full time to figure all this out. Of course we at HG still have plans to make our own RTS inspired and based on Tiberium Secrets, but that is a long term goal. (which I’m slowly chipping away at)
Lou castle once told me that the most important thing you can decide is “what your game is not”. And I want to do something for the C&C community that I can do all by myself (if needed)
So, what is Tiberium Cataclysm?
- A platform for closing the C&C Tiberium universe, allowing us to close the book and finish the series. (A therapist told me once; closure is something we give ourselves.)
- Any form of written content that contributes to what the C&C Tiberium universe looks like post Tiberium Wars/ post Tiberian Twilight. No matter if you consider TT C&C4 or not
What TC could be if proper community support, and If reinforcements arrived?
- A community project made for and by the community
- Radio plays that built the world, and allowed us to explore the richness of the Tiberium universe
- Fan art
- Fan fiction
- Fan made maps/ campaign
What TC is Not:
- There will be no coding what so ever.
- No 3d models made
- No downloadable “mod” to play.
Since the experience we are looking for is a lore closure, Wy not focus a majority of our efforts on that?
So, how do you play this and contribute?
I will be opening up the entire page for community input.
I will periodically write lore and stories.
I want yall to think of and do the same.
But this is not just a writer’s world, it’s a world that looks into our own. So, along with the written component, find real life pictures that enhance and complement your writing. Let’s do some role playing.
Let’s craft a community narrative that gives Kane and C&C the send off that we imagine, and something we’d be proud of.
Lets try this "community project" again.
I'll be posting polls on every major decision.
So, lets get to it!
1st, I want to clarify my role here. I will be a conduit and coordinator., meaning I'll be helping move things along, but my decisions are not binding, and should not be seen as such. my role in a nut shell is to organize things, and be a "facilitator".
regular polls will be made, and major decisions will be decided based on those polls.
Nothing needs to be chronological, and if you have a different perspective on a document, we can post new updates. Nothing is final until votes are tallied.
I'll be rolling over some documentation and art to help get the discussion started.
Make your voice heard.
“From here there and everywhere”
