    Stargate: Explorer (Game)

    Not sure if any of you remember me from the old forum, but I posted a thread a while back about a game me and a few others are developing. It is not a modification to any other game. Things have been a bit slow but they are picking up.

    The general idea of the game is to be able to explore Stargate like you never have before. You will start out in the SGC (in first person view) and be able to interact with things--light switches, computers, doors, and several other things (including easter eggs here and there). This game does not involve combat--for now. It is merely an exploration game. Once you've familiarized yourself with the base, you'll be able to dial out, travel to another planet, and explore around it's gate. We are currently working on making the game as realistic as possible, down to measurements, animations, and the like.

    So far I only have two screenshots I can show you. Unfortunately they are quite early shots of our gate model:

    http://www.echoshift.net/albums/sge/gate3.jpg (345 KB)

    For its poly count--just under 10,000--it is quite detailed. Note this is an early version.

    If you think you can help out at all, drop me a private message or contact me on AIM (wakeboarderan) or MSN ([email protected]). Right now, we really need people who have high quality sound effects, ranging from gate sounds to doors opening, etc.

    You can expect the first release of this coming in late June.

          Wow... that's amazing. I look greatly forward to this... one thing I've always wanted is to be able to walk around the gate room! Perhaps you could create an AI of Walter Davis (aka "Chevron Guy" with grey hair and glasses) to dial the gate for the player? That'd be pretty cool, actually.

          Two of my favorite shows are about Jonathan Sheppard, assuming Jack is always short for Jonathan. Weird, huh? (Lost and Atlantis)

              Hey guys, thanks for the responses.

              We only have one programmer (he is also doing textures/leveling and some animations), and only one guy doing models (he will also be doing textures). It may seem like a small team, but we can do a lot. A lot of things are used over and over again (certain textures, chairs, etc., monitors, different types of things).

                Way to go! I'd be interested in joining...

                Dark Helmet: No, it's not what you think. It's much, much worse!

                Col. Sandurz: Prepare for light speed.
                Dark Helmet: No, no, light speed is too slow.
                Col. Sandurz: Light speed too slow?
                Dark Helmet: Yes, we'll have to go right to...Ludicrous speed!
                Col. Sandurz:Ludicrous speed! Sir, we've never gone that fast before. I don't think the ship can take it.
                Dark Helmet: What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz...CHICKEN?!

                    Would love to help. I however know little to nothing about game development. If you need people to play it and report bugs I would happy to help.

                        Now that I'm thinking of it, the basic concept sounds similar to Alone in the Dark. Explorer/mystery games. Sounds fun.

                            We won't know the requirements for now, but we plan to make them atleast playable by most systems.

                            Our biggest worry right now is the entire copyright thing.

                            Can anyone give me any information how I can avoid getting MGM on me without totally removing the Stargate part of it?

                              The link is www.sgcmod.com

                              Yoy could just send a Copy of the game and a formal busness letter to MGM and i'm shure they could let you distribute it.
