the_dead Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Okay, I decided that by sheer anger of not being able to play UFO anymore that I'd just damn well make my own version. I can handle programming but my main downfall is graphics, I'm absolutely rubbish at drawing. What I need at the moment is base icons for the base construction screen. If anyone fancies the task I need 50x50 bitmap overhead views of the main access left, radars, living quarters, stores etc etc etc and 100x100 for hangars, any ufo base objects will be greatfully accepted. If anyone can help me and draw any of these they can send me the pics at dead_angel_falling@hotmail.com. Also if you want to be involved in the project at any other capacity, eg. playtesting or writing music then let me know at the same address. This is probably the wrong area of the forums to put this in but I wasn't sure where to post it, so sorry if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Have a look at the Modder's forums on this site - there's a number of XCOM-related projects on the go - for instance UFO2000 uses the data files from the game but not the executable. Don't write your own just yet - even some of the regulars on this board are looking for programmers and artists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_dead Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 It's a bit too late for that, I've already started, though I've not got far, I have a very crap geoscape map, a crap ufo and a crap version of the interceptor to shoot it. All presented in technicolour crtap graphics. My base screens are working nicely though, I can now buy and restock the interceptor on it and I've got my time buttons perfected to a similar speed to X-Com, now if only my eyes didn't hurt from staring at the screen for hours doing all that I could get some more done.

The Veteran Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 WE NEED YOU! It sounds like the stuff you've been working on is the aspect of the game we haven't really started with yet. We can't offer any free artists right now but if you fancy joining forces then we'll have a working game a lot sooner than we will if we carry on working seperately.Whadaya say?

Neorapsta Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I might be able to help with artwork. I've done a couple of concepts for XCGS in the Visual Artist thread. Have a look to see if you want me, shouldn't be a problem drawing 2 sets of pics as they don't take long to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 We certainly are desperate for 2D artists! And that's a nice hybrid If you fancy a list of things that need conceptual artwork doing for them then just let me know and I'll PM it to you!

Neorapsta Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Sure. If you have any thoughts about how you would like them done, you can put those down as well. I'll give it my best shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
