Well I have this idea and its based off the hit Sci-Fi movie called "The Thing" I think this would be awesome if i could completely create this campaign. I got my idea after looking over the original "Whos the Vamp" games which i know everyone loved, so as i looked through it i noticed it was based off the movie but it seemed like it could use some work so i decided to finalize it into a better game. As I began to think of how this game could work I knew something was wrong such as the vamp unit in it, it needed to be changed so i gave it a makeover and is looking much better. The story makes sence my idea is made up and i think the map is almost done but i think i need some help from some professional map makers. Ill need some triggor makers and some visual artists and concepters for my game. Can anyone help me??:(

Well, for one thing, your post should be in the Campaign Discussion and Team Gathering forum. I'll move it for you.

Secondly, it sounds like a pretty reasonable idea that you have, but in order to attract interest, you're going to have to show people what you've got. Do you have concept art? Screenshots of terrain, units, abilities? Have you made any lists of the kinds of heros you're going to have? Post these in your thread to show people that you have a serious map-making desire and to inspire people to your idea.

All things considered, though, it's relatively rare to find good team members (or any at all, sometimes). You might want to scale the map or campaign back to a point where you can do everything yourself.

And if you can't do everything yourself, yet, there are ample tutorials and helpful forums to bring you to the point where you can.

Ok, ok here is my plot:

In the icy continent of Antartica your crew and you are finally beginning to understand your studys when the power generator suddenely go's out one night when you are working at your desk. What would be strong enough to put out such a powerful generator? Will you unravel this happening or will the happening unravel you?

Trust only those who have been loyal, even the best of friends could change...
Choose wrong and you may end up becoming one with this mystery...

Good? I think it needs some work but its still just my idea of the plot.
Well your a corporal who in the beginning are reading your work when all of a sudden a great BANG occurs when you notice the lights flicker off. You decide to go and see what the problem is in the power house which is far into the barrens. What happened you asked?

Well SourGummiWorm whats your name and I'll talk to you in b.net about deciding stuff for triggoring okay? I still need help though guys!

Try to expand a little on how the game will be played. I think I basically understand but you will attract more people with an indepth explanation... and I know it's still a developing idea :)
