Greetings.

A cancelled game was retrieved by Leo(T.C.K.) and myself very recently. Due to Leo being tied with Unreal PSX and due to my own plan to use exclusively 227 platform which Leo is against as a principle, I have no other choice, but to seek help elsewhere.

Namely, here.

We've retrieved two early, but pretty advanced beta builds, sources, plethora of resources including models, textures and design docs... the earlier beta build includes so many maps that there just might be all of the planned ones accounted for, or most.

The process of development will compose of five major steps:

1. Conversion of the codebase, textures, sounds and music to 227-compatible packages in such a manner that will prevent breaking anything in the maps (other than what is already broken).
2. Extensive testing of the content as compared to the original beta and its compliance with the design docs, and establishing what needs to be added.
3. Creating the missing content.
4. Extensive beta tests.
5. RELEASE.

As the current, first step requires mostly operating within UnrealScript and native C++ code (I'd rather have it rely totally on UScript to ensure complete moddability of the Total Conversion), models and textures, my first positions will be:

1. UnrealScript/C++ coder
2. Modeller
3. Texture artist.

To contact me, you can either reply in this here topic, or (preferrable) via MSN (bruno.glening@windowslive.com), XFire (lordvictordelacroix) or Steam (swordofheavens). If you are decided that you 100% WANT to work under my leadership, one of these becomes a must. I need to have direct contact to all my team members.

Thank you in advance.

looks pretty awesome, i actually anticipated this game back then, being familiar with the xcom franchise (before it turned poop with enforcer and the recently announced "reboot") remembering some magazine coverage back in '98.

I unfortunately won't be able to help since unfortunately i got my hands tied Uni/work etc and FS, but i hope some dedicated people will come out and turn this into a nice unreal/227 mod

Before you proceed you must check this out legally, unless you are going to use your international "immunity" aka lack of laws. Copyright/trademarks are srs business, and for whatever reason they're making a new XCom game, although I'm sure it's going to complete dogshit, but the IP still lives. 2k games may not like your shenanigans.

I believe I checked this out enough. We proceed, although there's no "we" to speak of yet.

Sorry for sounding so skeptical, but is there some assurance that the project could get anywhere? What I mean is, what are you contributing to this project? Is there anything you can do while waiting for recruits? No offense, it's just that none of your projects from the past several years have been completed.

If you need any help with sounds shoot me a pm. I'm learning sound engineering and have plenty of tools to enhance/convert 'em and add effects to them and hopefully whatever ya need.

EDIT: Nevermind I only saw that you need them converted, didn't read the positions untill now :/ but if you ever need anything dealing with sounds let me know.

Actually I am ALMOST 100% sure I'll need your services because of alien speech lines which'll need to be done for missions. This however is at a bit of a later course. May I optimistically count that your enthusiasm lasts?

I'd also like either your Steam, XFire or MSN in order to maintain contact with you. Thanks.

X-Com? Who and why is talking about that, since it wasn't mentioned in the first post at all?

That pic of an ethereal gave it away.
