News about the former "True Sequel" project:<blockquote>We're still here, and with a brand new working title for the project as there was some confusion about the previous one. The project is going strong, with a new forum, updated website, and a much improved wiki.

We made some huge steps with the game plot, as well. BlackRain will be set in post-apocalyptic Europe, ravaged by the nukes and internal strife, and highly influenced by the Chinese. We wrote our own history of Europe, down to almost every country! Location of the game is now known and we are currently working on the first towns, characters, and dialog! Check out our wiki for more info.

Additionally, we started to build a map-editor and have some very interesting plans for the techdemo. Great ambient music is currently on the way as well!

With the last news update we gained several new members who have been very important for the project and filled in many gaps, particularly in the game plot and isometric tiles section. We also gained our music expert and a new programmer.

However, given our recent progress, we are in need of more help. BlackRain requires concept artists to put what our writer has accomplished so far into pictures and some more writers to assist in the herculean task of creating dialog. We also are in need of people who can create isometric graphics, which will be particularly important for our techdemo.

Think you can help us with concept or isometric art, or with dialog writing? Visit our forum at www.blackrain.fifengine.de/smf/ and introduce yourself with a couple of sentences. For more information, check out our website at www.blackrain.fifengine.de (our wiki is located at www.blackrain.fifengine.de/wiki).

Europe huh? Well, I hope they chose that because they are Europeans, and I hope those who wrote the stories of each country know what they did... I mean, I hope they know the country they wrote about...
 
Nice :)

But, you know - Germany is our playground :-D

Seriously, your wiki looks well organized and what I've read so far concerning your story sounds promising :)

Greetz,

You will be hardly able to recognize where you are in the actual game, due to what happened to the countryside.

The country issues are more important for the story *before* the game, to explain things.
 
So you want to hire some folks ehhh?

I've told you before and I'll propose it again - you should really consider going full out on this one. You are enthusiastic, you are commitet. What you've done so far is probably what the big game companies refer to as "pre-devlopment-phase".

Take what you have, show it to some game companies that might want to back you up, get the money, hire the people (do NOT forget a really good marketing person), make a kick @ss game, ship it, watch the money roll in (hopefully), make a sequel if you like. Easy as a groin shot with 10 perception and 100+ in small arms.

You really have nothing to loose - you won't be gambling with your own money, the company that invests in you takes the financial risk and then gets to share the sales money.

Europe - Cool, I like it!

BlackRain - Great title also (make sure the films guys don't get upset though)

Not exactly hire, but we are searching for interested people who are similar enthusiastic as we are ;)
This is really some huge step you are describing. So we should only do the "pre-dev-phase" and give it away? Actually I do not like this idea at this moment ;)
Id like to see such a RPG with superb 3D graphics and stuff too, but there is no market for that. Thus we are making it, though without shiny bloom graphics ;)

Nice to hear that ;)
This is also only a working title, there is actually a movie, a music album, two music tracks and one book with the name Black Rain.
But there are simple variations possible, so in the end it may become Blackrain: ... in example.
 
Hmm, perhaps I should consider applying for the dialog-writing position. Is it still open?

Gotta read a bit more about the project though :), but it looks very promising!
 
We are going full steam ahead, jump on the train SGTCane :D

We still need some artists, so when you like to make concept art or when you are an isometric expert, then you are the one we are searching =)
 
@ Bunkermensch

Sure - it's a big step, but not impossible in any way. But ok then, at least you've considered it for now.

I wish you luck!
