Rurouni Kenshin: Goshou Hen [TEAM NEEDED]

Hey, I'm Kappa and I'm here to talk about my dream project:

Rurouni Kenshin: Goushou Hen (which means The Afterlife)

A little about myself:
Well i did post here ages ago, but i left for a while, came back.. my account gone, and someone else has the name :S? dont ask me ^^
I used to be an active mapper when reign of chaos was first out, I never really did any work until 3 corridors came out and I made noob mods for it : )
Good with graphics, ideas, etc, not so good with the trigger sides of mapping needed for custom spells.

Alot about the project:
If you've watched Rurouni Kenshin (and you can't say you have unless you've actually seen the whole series, the oav/ova's tsukio hen and seisou hen, but the movie is shit so it doesnt count) then you wont need a description for this :)
As for people who have, kenshin (samurai-x in the english vers) is an old but famous anime about a samurai, procunt, but decides not to kill .. you get the drift.
Anyway the project story is based 50 years or so after the Seisou Hen (reflections) OVA, in the afterlife (its the only way i could think up a matching storyline that lets me use ALL the characters^^), so everyone is dead in heaven/hell.
There is a revolution in the afterlife, good vs evil, typical stuff.

Ideas so far:
*teams:
Good- kenshin, aoshi, sanosuke, saito (yeah i know), hiko, and thinking up more.. yahiko is sort of weak. but ill put him in
Evil- shi-shi-o, soujiro, shougu, anji?, and thinking up more..
*map: the map will be similar to DOTA's i suppose.. but alot more forest and hiding places.
*theme: buildings will be all jap, like hunters hall and stuff :s, the units will all be samurai's and archers and ninjas and stuff.
*spells and icons:
ive got a few icons already that look very nice (photoshopped heavily, kenshin hiko and sanosuke) spell icons will be too much though, too big a map..
CUSTOM SPELLS ARE NEEDED, but im shit at scripting, i have ideas but i cant pull them off :)

THE TEAM:
I require the following crew:
*Spell/Trigger guy, must be very skilled because I have the most bullshit ideas.
*Terrain mapper
*Maybe a graphics guy, i can't do it all
*Skinner/modeler.. because of course we need custom models :)
ETC ETC, you know :p
MEMBERS MUST HAVE AT LEAST READ/WATCHED A DECENT AMOUNT OF THE ANIME/MANGA

Conclusion
This will be a heavy map, alot of required effort needed..

So if your interested in helping, have some free time, good at mapping and love kenshin.. feel free to reply, or catch me on msn at [email protected]
i only hope this takes over bnet as much as DOTA :p



Thanks for reading,

Project Lead - Rurouni Kenshin: Goushou Hen

and ive attached a possible concept of the minimap preview, hope you like.

First off good luck to you!
But I'm sorry to say with that much information you are not likely to get any real help. Not to mention good triggers joining a project with this little of info is pretty rare not to mention a modeller is about 6x as rare (your best bet is to ask for models in forge and hope they get done ^^). I love ruroni kenshin but...if your making it like DOTA and you have a story line you might as well stop and give up now..a game similar to DOTA is not meant to have a story line (yes it can have a theme) and considering the fact people have to know anything at all about the actual show/comic means your basing it on a story. Another small problem is you are asking for just about every job available...witch will probably make people feel uneasy and find you lacking in skill..if your not willing to try it yourself don't try and get others to do it for you (one of my fav sayings)

But for the most part...Good luck with it! but keep in mind if its like dota you better have something good up your sleeve because no one has ever been able to pull of a decent dota wanna be map that I have ever seen or met!!
