Default Cooperative Project

Hi All!

This is something SG Development has been kicking around for a while, and since we are now looking at what comes after All American, it is probably time to get some feedback on this.

The Project we have in mind is a coop strategy game, design, art, programming, all with input from some of Shrapnel Games' fans.

How we came up with this idea, was seeing the kind of mods that you guys (and gals) have put out for our games over the last 5 1/2 years! Alot of these are quite impressive, and we thought, hey, lets harness some of that creativity and game development desire.

So, what do you think? A good idea or not?

And before you ask a bunch of questions about what the game is about and other things, well, that will be decided by those that participate on the project.

Best regards,

Sounds like a very good idea. If you can transpose some of the great ideas from the various Modders and their mods you might be able to come up with several really great games. I hope the modders show an interest... I'm in for whatever you need.

Yes, if you are interested this is a good place to start. We'll put a form up when we have an idea of those interested. Until then, just let us know here.

sounds cool. Modding is what makes a game enjoyable after the first month. Hence the shelf life of se 4.

If you would like me to join in please invite me.

take care.

I look forward to working with the old snake

Wow, very cool idea! Heh, if I had any artistic talent whatsoever I'd offer it willingly. That is a very awesome idea though.

Wombat, I overlooked your question, but yes this will be a game that we will sell. And that means that those who help with the project will make something off of it. We haven't worked out all the details yet, but will soon.

If I had any actual graphics, coding, or art skills I'd offer to help, but alas.
