The team behind Syndicate, a mod-in-development but not yet revealed to the community, is in need of a few talented individuals willing to lend their abilites to a truly unique multiplayer mod.
Syndicate is a multiplayer mod, stressing teamwork and strategy, that alters the multiplayer aspects of Deus Ex, throwing the world into chaos as the Mafia, Yakuza, and Luminous Arrow Triad battle it out for control. Each syndicate faction has been training its own paramilitary forces, and as they overthrew the governments of their respective countries and began to expand the borders of their influence, their armies met and conflict broke out. This mod blends the military-style tailorings of Front Line Force or Firearms, with the flavor of Action Half-Life, while keeping true to the intricacies that made Deus Ex so enjoyable. The mod features different player classes, several different game types (including Jailbreak and Corporate Courtesy), and many locales to battle in. We already have a sizeable team together, but we're looking for a few more people to round out the team. Here's what we're looking for:
Coder(s) -- someone with experience in UnrealScript, who can do more than just change the projectile class or ammo settings of a weapon. We need someone willing to get down and dirty with the VGUI and HUD displays, altering them and adding more functionality. There will be some weapons coding involved as well as altering and creation of new multiplayer gametypes.
Mapper(s) -- this mod gives mappers absolute freedom, as this world wide crime war takes place all across the planet. Locations include the US, Japan, China, Asia, Europe, Italy, just about anywhere. If you're itching to make a map just about anywhere in the world, this is your kind of gig. We are shooting for a gang shootout kind of feeling, and mappers should have a good feeling for z-axis warfare (sniper vs. sniper) as well as Close Quarter Combat mapping.
Texture Artist -- If you're an artist and you'd like to lend your services, we need someone willing to create new textures for weapons, vehicles, and player models. This position could be filled by a skinner with access to many textures, or be filled by someone with an artist's eye willing to draw new textures.
Sound Effect Technician -- We need someone to create new sound effects for the mod, from new weapons firing and reloading, to jail alarms and gang conversations. This is a very creative field of our mod, and we're interested to see what kinds of sound effects we can create.
Musician -- We'd like to have a musician create some gang music for us, something with a Pulp Fiction feel or with a tinge of gangster in it (not rap, though). We're looking for a musician who would like to create some compelling music to accent a mid-city midnight shootout, a jailbreak, an assassination, or a cop raid, while still letting the player know he's in the midst of a world-wide syndicate war.
Others -- If you feel you have a major talent to add to our team, don't hesitate to email and offer your services.
Work is underway, but we're always happy to consider new members and we'd love to have available people skilled in the above fields contact us. Our policy is always to create excellence, so we ask that you submit a piece of your work (could be screenshots, an actual map, a new weapon, piece of music, etc.) when you e-mail us so that we can see your skills. This is not to doubt your abilites, only to ensure we create the best mod possible.
