LE Requesting Assistance for a Large Project Involving Gameplay/Questline

[delfofthebla]

Updated 05-03-2012

 

I am a member of the development team, "Creative Onslaught", and we are currently recruiting new members. While we have several mod ideas piled up, we're currently devoting all of our time and effort towards a single project.

 

That project is called True Lichdom, and I have written up several WIP posts discussing the mod since the CK was released.

Nexus Forum [WIP] Thread #1 (Current Nexus Thread)

Bethesda Forum [WIP] Thread #2 (Current Bethesda Thread)

Bethesda Forum [WIP] Thread #1

Bethesda Forum [Pre-Wip]Thread

 

The goal of the mod is to essentially just integrate a few playable Lich forms into the game. We are doing this by creating a full length questline, a custom player model, and several entirely new gameplay concepts.

 

The rough list of required tasks needing completed are as follows:

1) A full questline with voiced dialogue.

2) Several dungeons and interior cells.

2) A new custom player model, possibly with its own unique animations.

3) New Gameplay mechanics, possibly requiring custom spell effects and animations.

 

Since the initial thread was posted, the mod concept has been well received. The team is working on the mod as often as we can, and several areas are making great progress. However, some areas have made little to no progress at all. Quite frankly, the scope of the project is just so much larger than I had originally thought it would be, and progress is too slow. For that reason, I am requesting assistance with the mod.

 

I have some teaser screenshots of a few interior cells that we've created. I do want to point however, that these only show a mere fraction of the work that has been completed on the mod.

We've recruited a few members since I originally made this post, but we still very much need people with the following positions: Quest Designers, Dungeon/Interior Designers, Modelers, Texture Artists, and even Voice Actors--we need it all. Voice actors are not something we are too worried about presently, as the mod has not reached the stage at which we are ready to add them, but they will indeed be needed at some point.

 

If you are willing to help complete the following, please post here or PM me. I should also be able to give any additional info desired, so please let me know.

Modeler/Texture Artist

The modeling situation is rather complicated. Currently, all models are being modeled and textured by one person. We have a few assets already designed, created, and textured, but many are still being completed. Due to our situation, we are even deciding to cut a few corners for the initial release of the mod. If we had an extra modeler or two, I dare say the scope of the mod would change rather drastically. Due to this, we could really use anyone who proficiently do any of the following:

1) Design, create, and alter custom armor meshes.

2) Create UV maps and color textures for various meshes.

3) Design and Create custom spell effects that can be used either as standard projectiles, or as static animated meshes within the game.

Animator

The Lich model will currently be using default player animations. However, if we were able to recruit an animator, we would like to create a new unique set of animations for the mode. We could use someone who can do any of the following:

1) Design, create, and implement new character animations

 

Dungeon/Interior Design

The mod is going to have several custom dungeons and interiors included within the mod. We need someone who can do any of the following:

1) Design and build several custom dungeons that match the theme of traditional Bethesda built Skyrim dungeons.

2) Design and build several custom interior cells that would be used as pieces of the questline.

3) Connect any designed dungeons to the Tamriel worldspace.

 

Quest Design

The current team is already hard at work writing up a questline. What we need is someone who can do any of the following:

1) Take a written questline and implement all quest objectives, quest chains, and quest rewards within the Creation Kit.

2) Take written dialogue and assign it to the appropriate actors during the appropriate situations.

3) Take a written scene and implement it into the quest as a scripted Story Event.

 

I have a progress tracker within my WIP threads if you are curious about the full progress regarding the mod. Though it is a little bit outdated and undescriptive in some areas.

 

If you are interested in helping with the mod, or would like more information either post here, or send me a PM. Thanks.

Yes I would be interested and can do everything listed except the lich model and stuff for that but I can do:

 

Editing and creating interior cells

Editing Exterior cells

Creating NPCs (friendly and none friendly)

Creating quests

Creating dialogue

However I am not a voice actor but I know a few people who might be interested.

 

PM me or post here if you want me on the team.

 

Thanks,

Great! We'd love to have you on the team. I'll send you a PM in a bit so we can get started sorting things out.

Ok

I appologise if I read this wrong, but do you need any writers?

 

If so, I would be very happy to help with this project, and it would help me build up a portfolio of work as well.

 

As far as experience goes, I'm new to modding, but I am an avid short-story writer in my spare time, so I may have applicable skills.

 

If you require a sample, send me some parameters pertaining to your mod, and I'll think up something.

A couple of us have already gone over the story a bit, and have a general theme/outline in place. However, if you'd be able to work with that and improve upon it (if you felt it needed it), then we would appreciate the help. I'll PM you the full situation in a bit, and if you still desire to join, we'd love to have you.

I've updated the main post a bit with some more info. We are still very much looking for assistance with the project, so if you are willing to help, please post here.
