New FPS project, need help

[Vic]

Hi everyone,

some of you might remember me from the good old days of quakesrc.org, tochris, qfusion and formerly, Warsow.

I have recently stepped down from my role as Warsow developer/maintainer and been thinking of forking the project. Not necessarily having to follow the old formula would then provide the freedom to modernize and brush up the core gameplay and visuals with the possibility of later going commercial. All produced materials will remain licensed under Creative Commons and GPL (for code).

However, such an undertaking isn't something a couple of guys can really do on their own in their little spare time so we're looking for some help from talented and motivated people, including mappers, artists, coders and sound designers. We already have a few members on board but we definitely need more! If things don't progress far enough, I'm afraid I'll have to fold the project as there's no way I can realistically handle such amounts of work on my own.

I can post more details on the project if there's enough interest. You can also watch the code progress on github: https://github.com/Picmip

Cheers!

Warsow is one of the few open-source FPS projects with a cohesive visual theme for modeling, maps, and graphics. Is there an art direction in mind for the new project? The Quake scene is typically into low-poly stuff. A very few active and talented modelers and artists exist, mostly on quakeone and popping up on twitter and func_msg.

And... I'm required to say this... the project might benefit from exposure at the Quake Expo.

As long you make clear your project is based on Quake technology, I see no problem. Now hurry up! I want to see this catching butterflies while playing soccer game in action

Unfortunately, there isn't much new to showcase at the moment, otherwise we'd have had a Qexpo booth for sure.

On a side note, I have put up on github stuff which has been written by me and others over the years of work on Warsow. You can find it here ->

Post some more details or there will not be more interest...

You definitely have the track-record to be taken seriously, but right now all I see is a seemingly unfriendly fork of Warsow's qfusion (still a fork even if you are the main developer :p) and nothing else.

Thus I am looking forward to hear more about your plans. Let's just hope it isn't another arena FPS :p

P.S.: When you say assets licensed under a creative commons license, which one do you mean? AFAIK only CC-by and CC-by-SA 4.0 are fully one way compatible with the GPL.

Too much slacking was going on, too many empty promises given. I couldn't stand that kind of environment anymore.
