The First War Campaign

After much thought, SeruK in I have finally decided to start a campaign, The First War. Obviously, it will talk about the First War. Don't be mistaken, it's not a redo of Warcraft 1. I'm going to try as hard as possible to evoid same missions. The only thing that will be commun in big will be that you'll control Lothar in Human Campaign, you'll control Doomhammer and perhaps other known orcs, and finally they'll be the battle of Stormwind. Everything else is expected to be different.

Since Blizzard didn't exactly work really hard in the story for Warcraft 1, I'll make sure the story that they wrote after WC3 was released (because after WC3 was released they worked more on the story then ever). So you'll be living the First War in first class ;)

The script for levels is currently being made (me). But what I do know is that I'm thinking maybe 6-8 levels for Human and Orc chapters, starting with Humans.

Ok, so, here's the catch.

([x] means that a box is checked, meaning we already have one, so if i say we need 2 terrainers and you see a [x] out of the two [ ] boxed, it means that we have one, so we need 1 now)

TERRAINERS:
2 needed
[x] [ ]

TRIGGERERS
2 needed
[x] [ ]

Modeler/skinner
one needed
[x]

Story/Beta tester/level ideas:
[ ]

For terrain we've got SeruK, but we still need one more person to back him up and/or do other levels at the same time

For trigger's there's me, but we also need another triggerer to back me up and/or do other levels at the same time

For modelers, we're happy to say we've got Camels_Hump (doing Lothar, Blackhand, Doomhammer and other character models (with custom animation hopefully)) So no need for another modeler

For Story/Beta tester/level ideas, there's always SeruK, Camels, me and the futur team, but we could use a guy who's good at the Warcraft Lore to feed us some sweet ideas on what kind of map we should do etc etc... and eventually test them.

We *MAY* have voice actors in the futur but we'll look this through only when project is done. I'll update this and post in Voice Acting section an audition thread.

When there's anything knew, I'll update it here (screenshot, script is done etc etc...)

So if anyone is interrested in joining in the team and/or give ideas, please comment. We'd be glad to recieve any help :)

My e-mail is [email protected] and SeruK's is [email protected], as i said, we'd appriciate any ideas and/or feedback.

Thanks again

Meh. Not my best model but my first orc:P I present, a partially finished Blackhand the Destroyer! I still have to do the cape part hanging over his shoulders, face and axe.

And you need another modeller/skinner cause i am so not doing every single model and skin you wish:P I have enough stuff to do, and i am being very nice in doing these:) =;P

BTW what do you plan to do as a tech tree? And i want to see missions!

EDIT:Oops, forgot to attach:P

Hey, I'm very good at warcraft lore and also played wc1. I can be one of the beta testers.

Have you considered that your project might have more success if you simply replicated the original campaign with some of your own stuff? I for one have not played the first game and so having a warcraft 3 version of it would be awesome. This would ensure a good download count.

Of course there is always room to add some optional quests etc. However, be aware that many who have tried to create events in the warcraft universe using a warcraft story (like the first war) have failed due to not being able to compete with the Blizzard Lore.

Also it might be best to discuss changes in your staff and missions and your team in a private message or chat.

I wish you all the luck and i hope your project turns out to be a success.

There, he's finished. I'll unwrap him later. What do you think?

Thanks Renagade, I won't do exactly the same missions in WC1 but I'll follow the story, so the missions will make sence.

I was thinking, the beta tester list *might* get a lot bigger with time, so the sooner you guys notify me you want to beta test, the better. The models are also expected to have custom animations so it's going to be pretty sick =D

JnM

There's your new axe picky:P

EDIT:All unwrapped, now time to skin=)

It good to hear that you actually listen to what people have to say. That is the mark of a good modder.

The campaign sounds really good at the moment guys and if it is as good as you say it is then it will be v.good. It also looks like you have some good people making your models for you, there is nothing worse than bad custom models; but i don't think you will have that problem here

he, now we still need that terrainer and modeler, the sooner we have them the sooner we can start

Changed his proportions and the axe a tad. JnM can we see the story?:)

Story? uh... you could go on WorldofWarcraft.net and check out First War story. I'm really trying to get a move on the Script but school has to come first...

And besides, not sure if I should release script to public =D II'll try later this weekend to write a story on The First War so it'll be more clear. The basic story-line is the same as WC1, at the same time etc etc... the only difference is that they'll be different missions. I GUESS you could call it a remake of WC1, but a remake BIG time

I meant the missions/story line:P Ahh well, you could always tell me over msn o:)

We've got a thread?
Well you learn something new everyday I guess. Now, I'll help you with storyline as much as I can*.

*You never like my ideas anyway

NEWS UPDATE: Finished the Human Chapter script campaign, and I'm telling you guys, this is looking sweet. I'll talk with SeruK if I should release script in public, anyways, l8r

JnM

PS: Thoes volenteers for Triggering and Terraining would be good now

You could atleast tell em

BTW if you released it public you might get more people interested;)
