Plan for Djaggernaut
by Ben "Djaggernaut" Chavigner · 09/03/2002 (3:28 am) · 10 comments
Tons of people told me that before: "Try to work on ONLY one project". Easier to say than to do... When you love creating.
Ok, so I've started a new Battlefield 1942 mod.
It takes places lot of times before JC when cave men and dinosaurs lived together (I know it's false but this mod is surrealist).
There will something like 2,3 games modes.
You can ride dinosaur and use weapon like bow or other dinosaur + some gifts (agility, strengh).
All the mod is really crazy and sometimes really stupid :-)
Website: www.gravelpit.ht.st
Here is the first model I've made:
My others works are for DoP, I've worked a bit on the prehistorical map which give me the idea of the mod and I will work on others map objects now.
I follow my work on Realm Wars too, making some stones and tree that are really missing. Well, that's not the better job but we need it ;-)
ARTOXIA: my beloved mod, the first one. As I finally can't make it under Quake 3, I will make it under Doom 3.
Oh, and a little mod I've worked on for BF1942, Forgotten Hope.
I've made only one model:
Ok, sorry for the low connections, this was my first plan ;-)

If you recruit a couple coders and put effort into BF1942, you may be having fun, but your are not really furthering your game career as much as you could.

Hey! I love the cavemen dudes. Please put those in a Torque game or Realm Wars mod instead of Battlefield 1942. Make a game you can SELL.If you recruit a couple coders and put effort into BF1942, you may be having fun, but your are not really furthering your game career as much as you could.

I'm not sure to be ready to sell a game for the moment, I've got my studies to finish (2 more years). But if I could, and if the mod takes a positive way, why not... ;-)
@Will: Thanks man! :-)
@Gema: Artoxia is my favorite! it takes place in the future. A planet (Artoxia) is attracting human spaceship, so humans tried to remove this magnetism, as they do for a classic magnetic planet. But this time, it doesn't work. They found what was the cause of this. The "Aliens" living on this planet are attracting people with an animal gift (a kind of laser used to trap his prey) to eat the corpse and survive on a planet which is hostile for them.
The game is the fight between those 2 races.
www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=project&page=view.project&qid=1295 see that for some infos.
I've planned to make this one on torque, but our coders couldn't afford the 100$ :-/ so we simply going to make it on Doom3.
If you're interested I could show you the old site. www.artoxia.com is just saying to keep waiting for the Doom3 version.

@Jeff: I firstly thought about BF1942 for this mod, because it has good exteriors and vehicle code, but if it isn't possible to mod on it, be sure I will use Torque!I'm not sure to be ready to sell a game for the moment, I've got my studies to finish (2 more years).

I have found the old site already ;) About the Artoxia, I like the art and the idea, but I don't like FPS ascpect of it. With the story you already got and the Artoxia world you could make much more exciting and fun game then a team based FPS. Looking at the art you got on this page I got impression it would be something else then FPS, maybe a platform game with some classical fun gameplay and some cool art ;) IF you rethink the gameplay idea you may have cool game there, I might be interested then :)

I can't change that now, and the game is fully oriented to FPS, I've got a the team and they like this concept, I can't change that. Even if the idea of platform is ain't bad.
We've thought of a single player mode, but had put priority on MP.
Perhaps a stand alone platform game could be funny...
That's an idea, don't know if it could be realised...

Hehe, in fact the mod has something like 10 pages of design doc :-)I can't change that now, and the game is fully oriented to FPS, I've got a the team and they like this concept, I can't change that. Even if the idea of platform is ain't bad.

Yes stand alone would be what I had in mind when I saw those pics up there. It could be realized I would belive :)

Even looking at Gravelpit model I am thinking about single player experience. That model is like made for a platformer ;) Think about it!

But for the moment I'll keep making some models and then I'll see what is the best to do...

Yeah, sure it has a platform style.But for the moment I'll keep making some models and then I'll see what is the best to do...
