Project Reminiscence - FoT 6 Announcement
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 6:53 pm
Why do we always come back? Why can’t we let go?
Many people have been asking this question over time, for various reasons. And all it needed was a small push into the right direction. The idea of Project Reminiscence was born and many were eager to help. To most it felt like homecoming after years of absence from the Unreal Editor.
Even if you didn’t work with it for a long time, jumping into the editor has that special feeling to it, while still preserving a challenge, working with limited resources, assets and poly counts. We are confident that you will curse yourself at some point after starting with it again, but then you will also like it – possibly a lot.
While already being an impressive team, the Timewarp Crew has never been a closed society of veteran level-designers. We were always including newcomers to our team, and we are doing so now. So if anyone is feeling up to the challenge, we are inviting you to send us your ideas, pictures or maps, so we get an impression of your skills concerning the editor.
What is Project Reminiscence all about?
As with every release before, the Timewarp Crew is aiming for standards far above average.
We want to create a UT map pack that is pretty much only limited by imagination. There are no limits to what kind of map you will be allowed to create, other than it must fit the standard game types of UT. Deathmatch and Capture the Flag maps are encouraged, though, as these are the easiest to do, and usually require less planning than an Assault-type-map, for example.
Many of our maps are remarkable, be it the small maze-like layout of Atlantis, the grandeur of Simplex or the magnificence of Chronoshift. These maps are standing out, and it is this quality level we are aiming at again.
This all nice but when…?
Time has ironically been an issue every time we were doing a map pack. We are offering a loose guideline for every participant, but for those joining in later on, we cannot guarantee you can get an extension. Projects like these have to be engineered carefully and not everyone is having time afterwards.
Project Reminiscence will officially begin on January 15th, and end with its release scheduled to May.
How do I do?
To enter, you can simply show your interest here at UT99.org. We do need a convenient idea and possibly some screenshots / files of your work to decide if we can include you in Project Reminiscence.
Below, you can find some Artwork of ours that we have been producing over the years. Just click the pictures to enlarge. Also, all our works are linked so you can get an even better impression ingame.
