Have a Mod Idea...

[NeoTiger122]

well im a pretty good writer so...another idea popped into my head..


its going to be called GigaSaint(pending title unless you guys like it)

my idea was humanity had to move to Mars in year 2082,70 years after the rise of the partnership between North Korea and the NeoNazis.(its a fiction okay?)

but due to over population the people of mars in 2100 had to be forced to move to different planets...heres the run down.

*the eyeless-a race of sub-humans that migrated to Jupiter looking for a challenge. they managed to survive however they came to the brink insanity due to the fact of there lack of line of sight.they wanted vision.they wanted a god. ZueZ and ProMegatis were created. Fear and Life.Worship and War.Post Human Gods with Highly Advanced A.I that created mechanical Beasts based off Mythical creatures such as the minotaur and the Hydra(havent thought of a name)

*the Holy Federation of Aberham.
the evolution of the 3 aberhamic religions, specializing in the art of the Mecha.The borgz.
tanks with human aspects(some look like Mechs,others look like Gundams)
still inhabiting Mars, they feel they are gifted by their god.


*the disregarded.
pirates.unholy.forgotten.

their battle cry:

HUMANITY IS DEATH
HUMANITY IS A CURSE
HUMANITY IS CANCER
WE ARE THE REBORN
WE ARE THE EXORTIST
WE ARE THE IMPOSSIBLE CURE
DOWN WITH YOUR FALSE CHRIST
DOWN WITH YOUR FLESH
DOWN WITH YOUR SOUL
DOWN WITH YOUR FAITH
they use Infected GigaSaints kinda like the beast in HW:C(only heard of them though)
They are proof that a black hole doesnt kill you.

Think the Necrons+Chaos Marines.
Other things include (if possible)
-the Mothership can be upgraded to become a very powerful unit
-meele combat
-Space combat(HW2)
-Ground Combat(DoW)
I'll have concepts by the end of july(or eariler,they just have to look good)




Im thinking the HW2 engine.(even though im going to take a designer/writer stance)


ideas?
a helping hand?

[Retroboy]

Neo, no offense, but I think you'll have a hard time getting people to "buy into" your mod, for a bunch of reasons.

First, it's extremely derivative. "Borgz" is so close to Borg that it's not funny.

Second, the races aren't really very realistic. The eyeless are blind because...? If so, how can they work. What's the rationale?

Third, you haven't really done any work other than jot down random thoughts. There's no concept art, no models, and no indication that you've made a personal commitment to this mod.

Finally, your post is full of smilies and spends too much time on inconsequential stuff like warcries. This shows a lack of focus on the true components of a mod, such as gameplay and assets.

I would also be careful about making claims to be a pretty good writer given how terrible the grammar and spelling is in your post.

This is not meant to be a flame - it's purely an explanation of why you may not get any solid support for this mod idea of yours. Hopefully, you'll accept it as constructive criticism and not an attempt to insult you, because it's not.

I second Retro and in addition urge you to read the rules. Idea threads are strictly forbidden unless you intend to do it yourself.

[NeoTiger122]

i know what you are saying but in my post i said i was the writer,but yea maybe I should change the name hehehehheh


EDIT:sorry I didnt see that part in the rules,I'll attempt some concept art and name(thanks for not flaming ^_^)


and I did pretty bad on the periods,etc sorry >_<"

[Eric072691]

I agree with DatonKallandor and Retroboy. Please keep to try to support your ideas.

And not to flame or insult you but that's really bad spelling.

[ArcTrooper1773]

Okay, this isn't a flame - it's just coming out as I type.

It's a good idea, but you seem to have put no thought into it at all. You saying that you're going to develop a whole new race or two, rather than building upon the hiigaran and vaygr already here? Come on! Get real! Even beghins with his fabled complex has only created a couple of small ships from scratch - and even that's too complex for one person to do, let alone a whole new set of ships per person.

Here's how your post should look:

Well, I'm a pretty good writer so...another idea popped into my head..


It's going to be called B.O.R.G.Z (title pending unless you guys like it)

My idea goes like this:

In 2012, the North Koreans and neonazis of today's world join forces, and eventually cause humanity to stray out to Mars. However, by 2100, there is a population crisis, and many people were forced to move to different planets...

Here's the run down:

An eyeless race of sub-humans strayed to Jupiter as a challenge to their survival ability. The managed to survive for a time, but came to the brink insanity due to their lack of line of sight.

They wanted vision.

They wanted a god.

ZueZ and ProMegatis were created.
Fear and Life.
Worship and War.
Post Human Gods with Highly Advanced A.I that created mechanical Beasts based upon Mythical creatures such as the Minotaur and the Hydra (Haven't thought of a name yet)

Think the necrons + Chaos Marines from Warhammer

They own demonic dragon machines of Pluto

I havent really thought of a good story for them... any ideas?

I'm thinking the HW2 engine(even though im going to take a designer/writer stance)

However...is it possible to have like a "special edition" that requires DoW AND Hw2?


ideas?
a helping hand?

Right. Now. You haven't thought of a story, but you have thought of a warcry?

And you haven't thought of some names, but you have thought of others?

And you have no team of people to share the uber-huge workload of something like this.

A little more thought before you come back with more ideas, eh?

[NeoTiger122]

i get the point but no one has answered my question...is it possible to make it where you need DoW and HW2?

[DatonKallandor]

No.


Daton

[Unicron]

Honestly, your background story sucks.

[Kou Uraki]

cmon, i think his story has potential, unicron. no need to start flaming it.

[Jaen-ni-rin]

It has potential, but right now nothing else.

@DoW and HW2
You canalways make 2 mods.

[NeoTiger122]

thanks jaen-ni-rin and Uraki thats really all I wanted to hear ^_^ im working on some stuff now so yea....

[Unicron]

cmon, i think his story has potential...

...when he gets rid of that North Korean and Neo Nazi thing.

[Natopo]

To echo what Retroboy said, you're focusing more on the storyline of the mod rather than what it will be like in-game. And I don't know of a single released mod for Homeworld 2 that actually has a storyline in the game (Enlighten me if there is a mod that actually has a new campaign. I'd be interested to play it). So your focus is in the completely wrong place. Your idea would have been better placed in a science fiction writers' forum or something like that.
But it's a good start, if you're actually going to do something about it.

[Zatch]

ArcTrooper1773: You're wrong, it's easy to stick ships in the game (with the right tools, of course.)

NeoTiger122: Don't ever use white text. Also, please go through your first post and fix the punctuation, I'm not going to do it for you (I did change the text color to black, though.)

Unicron: I see nothing wrong with the North Korean / Neo Nazi connection. This is fiction, after all...

Everybody else: Don't turn this into a flame fest. There aren't too many suggestion threads floating around like this one (most of the others have more substance to back them up) so I'm going to let this one slide. If the discussion continues and I see no real content added, or anybody signing up to help with the mod, I'm going to lock the thread. Any more flames will result in warnings, don't test me.

[Eric072691]

Sorry... didn't really mean to be that bad to him...

[NeoTiger122]

ERIC:its fine,I didnt takie it as being mean
ZATCH: sorry I didnt realize how bad the Text was 0_o

I would put this into a writer's fourm but I always thought seeing and interacting was always better than reading.

UNICRON: umm...I dont think thats a very constructive way to express your opinion on my backstory...care to elaborate on why you think it sucks?

[DatonKallandor]

It defies all logic, sense or ANY form of intelligence.


Daton

[Zatch]

Daton, if you're not going to provide something constructive (read: pushing him in the right direction, not tearing down his existing ideas) please don't bother to post in this thread. The point is: if he wants to do something completely off the wall, that's fine, we don't have rules against that. If you don't want to play the mod, don't play it; if you want to have a say in the development of the mod, don't imply that NeoTiger is an idiot.

I don't care if NeoTiger wants to borrow elements of other pieces of fiction, so long as he doesn't steal others' work and call his mod "Attack of the Borg Space Marines from Hiigara."

The Golden Rule Of Modding: If you want it done, do it yourself. Cause no-one else is going to do it for you.

[NeoTiger122]

fine,lock this topic and ban me.

[Sastrei]

Heh, they will with that attitude. All I see in this thread is, ultimately, help.

It's a big scary world out there in the internet. Don't post in a public forum unless you're prepared to defend your idea against others and recieve their input.

Just out of curiosity, are you viperslayer under a different alias?
