In 2049, due to overpopulation and the decline of natural resources on their home planet, mankind took on the formidable task of terraforming the planets of Venus and Mars. With plans to begin their initial work on Mars, a research group was sent to Mars on an investigative mission. But they found something they did not expect.
Upon their return to Earth, the researchers discovered something frozen in a fragment of Martian ice. Recovering and analyzing the Martian DNA was a tedious task that spanned two decades, discovering that the Martian gene code was less vulnerable to harsh weather conditions, as well as the ability to develop the strength of an adult by their early teens. But with the analysis of the DNA came a controversial decision. The Global Expansion Committee approved a plan to combine the Martian DNA with that of humans. The GEC planned to use the bioengineered men, genetically altered to be extremely strong, but have a low capacity for creativeness in and of themselves, to develop and assist in the physical labor required to terraform the new homeworlds of mankind.
But the engineers could not remove the will for a man, or Martian, to be free. The better minds among the new race of men, calling themselves the Ginomi, the arisen, demanded compensation for their race, saying that anything otherwise would be utter enslavement. The Homeworlds granted the Ginomi occupation of the planet Mars as their home planet, so long as they agreed not to raise arms against the other Homeworld governments.
In 2113, with the terraforming of the Homeworlds nearly complete, the Ginomi revolted, having secretly armed the planet of Mars against the other Homeworld planets. Caught off their guards, the Homeworld forces were pushed from their homes, beyond the Asteroid Belt, while the Ginomi took abode in their homes and slaughtered their families. Taking refuge on moons of the outer planets, the Original Men, naming themselves the Remnant, slowly prepare for an assault to retake their homes.
In 2132, the Remnant found themselves ready to take on the Ginomi to retake their homes and lives.
2132 is an RPG-style planned complete conversion of Mount&Blade.
Planned features:
Mirathei's battlefield tactics kitdstemmer's command cursor mini modJedediah Q's companions overviewAll new weapons, armors, scenes, UI, etc. That come with a complete conversion.
Elimination of merchants. All new equipment will be gained through missions, quests and advancement within the army.
Basic elimination of troop trees and "tavern" recruitment. You will be in charge of a small group of soldiers and will gain companions through quests and assignment. Both factions will have about a dozen possible companions.
There will be a linear storyline for both factions, rather than just roaming around attacking random people.
green=doneblue=patially donered=not done at allPhysical Progress:
mapweapons (started on; many modelled, not textured yet)
armors (I did a few, but they'll only be place holders. Very unsatisfied with them. DaBlade is working on some)
helmets (done a few models. Still uncertain the shape looks right.)
scene propsUI replacementmusic (have 3 people working on music.)
Coding progress:
dialogsfactionsracesitemsgame menus(started on them, mostly just got the starting menus started)
map icons (planets/moons done. no ships to travel around in yet.)
mission templatesparties (towns done, but not any "travelling" parties)
party templatesquests (many planned, but no coding accomplished yet)
scene propsscenestroopsCredits:Me - map, coding, modelling, textures, etc.
cj31388 - some weapon models (about a dozen or so)
Deyshawn, vadermath, waraelm, vorudain - general story and gameplay ideas
Dablade - Remnant armor textures (in the works)
HokieBT - for the OSP clothing (though they're being retextured) I know someone else made them, I'll look it up and fix it later.
WHAT I NEED:
Mainly, I need a good conceptual designer. I can model myself, I just need someone to come up with some original ideas, for everything from ships and interiors to weapons and armors. I have a general idea of what I want, just not some of the better details of design.
I am also looking for a texture artist to texture ships, interiors and possibly armors.
Idea person. seriously. The Sci-Fi thing has become so cliche I need some people to give me some ideas that aren't the norm.
also:
Name for the human alliance. the Remnant
Name for the "new man" race. Ginomi (greek for arisen, born, created)
Names for towns on Mars. (I can come up with these, but I'd like to see if there's any astronomical experts out there)
Names for Towns on Venus. (See above)Which cities to use on Earth.Name for the "insurgent" alliance. the Exiles
Names for NPCs, in all races. For this, I want anyone who has had or has friends/family who are or have been in the military to give me some names. Kind of an "In honor of" kind of thing. This applies to the Human alliance only.
Anyone interested in helping out, post here or PM me.
