Where I think we are with the mod-

[Jub Jub]

All right, here's where I think we are:

-The OC mod is going to be based off the UT:2003 engine, and then moved to UT:2004.

-The OC mod is almost certainly going to be 3rd person. Doing this allows us to concentrate on animations for Cutter instead of animations for guns. Also, if we implement Karate moves into it, it would be impossible in 1st person.

-It will probably take place after Outcast 1, with a story created by us, although we could make a prequel. We just need a good story.

-Cutter will definetly be the main character.

-Guns from OC 1 will be present except with more realistic looks and performances.

-Conventional weapons may be in the game. (example: M16, UZI)

-Here's the members that want to create the mod: (If I forgot your name, just remind me) Jub-Jub, Toshiro, Mdkilla, Yod Xerxes, and Gravitone. Most of us are noobs, but that's okay. [loll] We're all learning.

-Vehicles are a definte possibility with the new coding and models from UT:2004

That's about it. If anyone else has different opinions or ideas, please post them! [cheer] We need all our brains to work on this. [fou]

i think we first should make a remake of the oucast 1
since we dont have a story writer and some of use are noobs i think its better to first make a outcast 1 remake after that we could go ahead .. use the models from the remake and add some more stuff... and make part two

we would have less work in mapping (cause we have references at first)
less work on stroy writing
and less work in charakter modeling

just my two cents

nice summary JubJub.

mdkilla has a good point too.
nevertheless, a complate remake might be a tedious task.
if we mange to make ranzaar and shamazaar(the beginning of oc), for example,with most of the cool features of the original game, it will be just enough to get ppl interested :)

I dont think we should make a remake because if whe'do that you can just as well play OC1, creating our own new OC game also give us the abillity to do new thinks. I think we could use the worlds Appeal had in mind for OC2 and about the wapens wouldn't it be a idee if you could also use Talan wapons??

Actually I think it's a good idea to remake the first one. [moder] There's no chance in hell that Elsewhere or Atari is going to tell us the OC II story. That doesn't mean we can't all be happy. After we get alot of work done with the original maps, we could then add the places like Kizarr or whatever the women Talan island is.
We could also implement new ideas.
About the Talan weapons: They didn't implement it into the first OC because you need to focus your Fae Essen to fire Talan weapons. Cutter doesn't know how to do this. Maybe shooting Red Helidum could act like dynamite.
Either way we choose to go, when people see us working on this mod, it will get them interested and hopefully bring some more people to the team.
Keep those ideas flowing. [cheer]
