Dover Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I wouldn't mind joining CTD either, actually. I do speak fluent Bulgarian (Serriously, I do), although I doubt that'll be an asset at all.

You might not find too many "untaken" CTs, but feel free to take one of the list which hasn't been worked on recently (like in the last year or so). Maybe try the "CTD - X-corps Funding" or the "CTD - Cloak Autopsy". Try to use the previous drafts as rough guideline, and make sure to read the CTD docs. Once you are pleased with your writing, please PM Azrael with your draft. Please feel free to PM any active member of the CTD (such as Azrael, kafros or me) if you should have further questions.

Zombie Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi everyone. Most of you probably already know me from the lower part of the website. It's about time I become involved up here too. May I join? :wink1: Don't think I need to list my credentials, as they are apparent:Strong background in most areas of science, mathematics and logic. Dabbled with programming (Basic, Pascal and some assembler) and even took a games and simulations programming course at the local university. Committed to quality in anything I do.Excellent knowledge of X-COM. And if I do not know the answer, I know where to find it.Above everything else, I am dedicated to the X-COM community and this site. So you will know that I'm not going to fade off into the distance after this post. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullAuto Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) I probably wouldn't be that useful at writing X-NET entries, but if you lot ever need any short stories for background or anything feel free to slap me. You can find my stuff in the fanfic section if you wish to check out my credentials. I also have a bit of skill proofreading, editing, and generally messing around with text to get it to flow better.

Guest Guest_NoPoet406_* Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 A few ideas I had a couple of years ago for new aircraft based on existing technology: EUROFIGHTER TYPHOONINTERCEPTORCapacity : 2 crewArmour : 120Speed : 1750mphHull : 99Weapon Systems : 2Fuel : 1000On-board radar range: 50kmThe Typhoon has been substantially upgraded by Britain’s RAF, incorporating the latest liquid nitrogen cooling as well as more efficient turbo engines to enable it to stay in the air longer. Flight stability at high speed has been uprated which allows a higher cruising velocity. In addition, top speed has been improved. NATO’s latest tracking and targeting systems enable the Typhoon to accurately track most types of UFO. HELLHAWKINTERCEPTORCapacity : Automated, or 2 crewArmour : 225Speed : 3000mphHull : 170Weapon Systems : 2Fuel : 1550On-board detection range: 300kmThe Hellhawk is a significant development of traditional military aircraft, based on reverse-engineered alien technology. The engines are supremely efficient and high-speed stability has improved by a quantum leap over previous designs. The aerodynamics are so efficient that very high speeds can be attained with minimal wind friction. On-board radar has been replaced with vastly more potent alien sensor arrays. While still not as manouevrable as many types of alien aircraft, the Hellhawk (often simply called the "Hawk") gives X-Com a fighting chance to resist alien incursion. FIRESTORMINTERCEPTORCapacity : Automated, or 1 crewArmour : 200Speed : 4200mphHull : 320Weapon Systems : 2Fuel : 1500On-board detection range: 300kmAn extremely potent air-to-air interceptor capable of heavy combat duties. Extremely high speeds can be reliably attained and a low-level structural integrity field holds the hull together upon weapon impacts. The trade-off is increased energy consumption, limiting the Firestorm to relatively short-ranged interception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 My idea was to slowly build up the technology of X-Com (or in the case of my game system, the Global Defence Network) so that progression feels natural. you don't suddenly jump from using crap weapons to being able to lay waste to everything that stands before you. I'd like to suggest that in Xenocide, technological advancement is better paced. For example, in Terror From the Deep I often find myself researching technology that outdates stuff I haven't even developed yet: what's the point in bothering to research gauss weaponry when I've just captured ten sonic rifles? Or, worse, researching all three types of armour straight after the other, making standard Ion armour and Plastic suits completely worthless. Or getting the Leviathan before I can even finish building a single Manta. Or... See what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nopoet406 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I made the post under the name of "guest". I forgot to give myself a temporary name. I will indeed apply for this project, which happens to be the most impressive fan-made project since 5 Year Mission. I can't program or draw, but I am a fairly good writer. I'd like to write UFOPaedia entries if possible, and/or help to build the storyline. Thanks for the welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Mega Mat X Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I just read about this project via the OCR forums and would be interested in either the Creative Text Writer or Sound Designer positions. I graduted from the Savannah College of Art Design with a BFA in Game Design & Interactivity. My art skills are very poor, but I can write text, compose music, do video/audio editing, and project manage. Sample text? Hmm... Haven't played X-Com in a while, but here comes some improvised writing off the top of my head. *** POSSIBLE CUT-SCENE CONCEPT*** EXT. FIELD -- DUSK A OLD FARMER tends his field at dusk, preparing the last of the crops. We see his farm off in the distance, with the porch light illuminating a bit of the scene. His 8 year old DAUGHTER runs out onto the porch, calling for her father. DAUGHTER: You gonna come in any time soon, Daddy? The OLD FARMER raises his Scythe as he chops down some more wheat from the field. OLD FARMER: In a minute, dear... OLD FARMER pauses to catch his breath. Out of nowhere, a LASER rips through the field, hitting the OLD FARMER right in the chest. The LASER burns off layers of flesh and muscle, exposing a burned rib cage with a still-beating heart inside. OLD FARMER collapses to the ground, impaling himself on his own Scythe. He is quite clearly dead. We see something rustling through the fields towards the Farm. DAUGHTER runs out in the field. DAUGHTER: That you, Daddy? Another LASER rips through the field and blasts DAUGHTER in the head, splattering brain and bone onto the ground. She slams down, dead. The figure reveals itself as the CLASSIC X-COM ALIEN-- big head, black eyes, frail body. It aims its LASER GUN at the camera and delivers a full blast. The XENOCIDE logo materializes onto the screen as we hear rocking title screen music. -- Any thoughts on the sample? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mad] Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 (edited) Hi DJ Mega Mat X! Again, welcome to Project Xenocide! Unfortunately we are not writing scripts for cutscenes at the moment. But if you are interested in writing UFOpaedia (we call it XNet) entrys, please feel free to PM me with a fictional sample entry for the XNet.

Guest Shinryuu Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) I've been lurking on these forums for a while now, and I just discovered you have a staff slot for a writer. !?!.A talent I possess could contribute to this project! I am a verbose and literarily dextrous english native speaker from Australia, and the idea of being able to help out Project Xenocide in any way, shape or form makes me all tingly inside.I am also very familiar with the Xcom series, and a huge fan of the original (TFTD was good, but apocalypse wasn't that great).If you have a list of tooltips, descriptions or dialogue that needs writing, simply set me up with a copy and I'll get started right away. You can contact me at Shinryuu (at) iinet (dot) net (dot) au.
