[Mod] Deranged

[DxPlayer]

Story:
In the summer of 2056 earth was assaulted by a highly evolved species of extra-terrestials. Huge fleets of advanced technology hung ominous above the continents of our world. Enormous blasts erupted from their warships incinerating all that was consumed by it's brilliant light. While the human race was still puzzling with the identity and goals of their attacker whole cities were laid to ashes. Amidst the chaos and devastation the troops of the aliens appeared on earth like hungry vultures casting themselves on a nearly dead beast. They had come to do the ground work, killing everyone in their path. They probably expected to finish the job quickly but the human race fought back. Some countries managed to take out a few of the alien vessels with nuclear cruise missiles and stealth-fighters, and the aliens withdrew their spaceships from earth's atmosphere. From there, in the cold darkness of space, the extra-terrestials launched a series of ruthless attacks using their teleportation technology. Two months later over 5 billion people had died in this war, and the aliens still hadn't made a single demand, or offered anything that could be regarded as an explanation for this bloodshed.



Demo: http://www.moddb.com/mods/deranged/downloads

In that demo there is just a map and conversation files, but for Part 1 we are programming a custom executable and several changes at the gameplay.

Recruiting:
We are in need for a guy who can make 3d meshes for Deus Ex;
We are needing a guy who can make nice Deus Ex skins;

Team: Machina (mapper and project leader), Eugene (programmer) and Hanflings (ex-programmer, he has left the team)

Hi Eugene,

I like the storyline. I loved Independence day and District 9. I hope we get to give those aliens some payback!

Good luck finding the people you need.

I'm still waiting for a serious rendetion of Independance Day, I still remember the big commotion when it came out, it was something a little bit special.

Love the mod, will get around to checking this out, I like the red skies which give the constant impression of being vulnerable. It's funny that even with most of the worlds population turned to toast that the US just seems to be okay, or at least that's the impression I get, a classic hollywood script no less.

Hi, I'm the guy making the maps for Deranged and leading the project. Thanks for the positive feedback! I just wanted to let people here know that the demo is just some street fighting action. It hardly has any text and there is no real mission. You can explore the map though, there's some "hidden" stuff like a law to take care of that militarybot blocking the subway.

The enemy soldiers are just normal MJ12 troops atm, they will be slightly reskinned to look more like alien troops (they're clone troops btw: cloned humans) The demo was released to find people who are willing to help work on deranged. A fuller "demo" is being worked on atm which will also be the first part of Deranged. The mod will be released in parts because there's only two people working on it atm and its too much work to try to finish everything in one go. A lot of other older mods were also released in parts (Zodiac, Hotel Carone) so we hope you'll forgive us for that.

We would love to have alien laser weapons (alien assaultguns, rifles and pistols that shoot lasers or plasma) in the mod so we are looking for a modeler or maybe someone who already has made some weapons and we can use them. Basically all we want is laser rifles but if you can make other cool weapons we might consider using those too. The most important thing is that the damage should pretty much be the same as normal DX weapons (so no superpowerful weapons) because a lot of missions are already set up. The protagonist of Deranged is a soldier so human military type weapons (especially futuristic) would also be great.

If you happen to have talent for making textures and skins you can also contact us. My email is machina_deranged@yahoo.com
