Pineapple Softworks - Looking to begin development of project Enigma. Team name: Pineapple Softworks Project name: Codenamed project Enigma. Brief description: Project Enigma is a new type of sci-fi shooter that puts a twist on the shooter genre. The game has a new style of gameplay that revolves around strategy instead of twitch (or reflexive) gameplay. In the plot, humans have discovered the secret of the fourth dimension. It allows them to manipulate space-time. The player is given weapons that perform specific tasks that help him/her defeat enemies, or to solve puzzles. These weapons work a lot like the gravity gun from half-life. Target aim: Project Enigma will be available for retail. Compensation: Compensation is simple. The extra money gained from retail will be evenly divided between the full-time team members. Technology: This is to-be-announced. Developers will be working with most of the markets mainstream tools. Talent needed: The project is just coming out of the concept stages. These are some of the positions that need to be filled: • Assistant Producer (AP)- The Assistant Producer will keep track of the things that go on during a day-to-day basis. They will also handle finances. • Level Designer • Writer- Story is already in place. • Tech Lead • Programmers • Art Lead • Concept artists • Character Modelers • Animators • World and Background Modeling • Texture Artists Team structure: Thomas Klotz (me)- Lead Producer/Game Designer George Clarke- Lead Story/plot writor. Also Game Designer Audi Abas- Concept Artist Website: TBA Contacts: tklotz@msn.com AIM- negativezero48 Additional Info: Story: The year is 2177. Two years after the death of the Baratan Republic at the hands of warlord Aetayn, a second Interstellar War has erupted. The second Baratan Empire, led by Aetayn himself, has declared war on the Commonwealth for the perceived threat of temporal weaponry, a fact that later turned out to be a lie. The Commonwealth has fought valiantly, but High General Lukath has steadily driven the human forces closer and closer to Earth. In desperation, the Commonwealth researchers have developed the Enigma program within the Commonwealth Marine Corps. Enigma has selected seven elite Reconnaissance Marines for cybernetic and genetic reconstruction. One of the seven chosen is Captain Scott Hathaway. Having served near the end of the First Interstellar War with the original Baratan Empire, Hathaway is on his last day of official active duty when he is selected, tranquilized, and sent to the Chiron testing facility. Here, he is transformed into, in his own words, a ‘mindless killing machine’. Though he is enraged with these changes, he puts his anger aside and continues his war against the alien scourge. Eventually, whether he likes it or not, he will have a hand in carving the path of history – both human and alien. Captain Hathaway will have a futuristic, yet realistic, arsenal at his disposal. From the M44 gauss rifle (comparable to the M1 Garand of World War II) to the MMG31 machine gun (derived from today’s G36C rifle, among others), you will never feel too far away from the real world. Also, the enemies are not as dumb as they are ugly, and wish to stay alive and fighting as much as you do. This is the world of tomorrow.
