Days of Glory: A TC for Nova
As some of you may well know, I am currently developing (to be more precise: finalizing pre-development design documents) a TC plug-in for Nova. The plug-in will be set in the beginning of the 27th century, and feature a certain element of realism, and of course, feature dynamic storylines.
Here is a basic description: Essentially the Milky Way Galaxy is essentially dominated by humans who, after 500 years of peace, have regressed to the petty bickering and politics of the 20th century and decided to divide themselves along racial lines. These people have just come from the peak of humanity two decades ago to their current state of chaos and theyve engaged in a sort of escapism and attempt to use the traditions of their empires to delude themselves into thinking of the grandeur and power their respective ethnicities had in the days of old. Hence, thats why the plugin is titled Days of Glory; Humanity desperately seeks to be immersed in glory once again. It is my intention to make it a theme throughout the plugin. Of course, to make it interesting, we have an enemy from a galaxy not our own. They carry their own surprises.
The reason Im not posting specific information on the background and governments is because its all available at this site: (url="http://"http://www.zhouj.net/days")http://www.zhouj.net/days(/url)
Feel free to contact me if you have questions or youre interested in joining. I currently need developers of any type, but especially a sound artist and/or graphics artists.
And I really dont think this is the thread for people to complain that this TC will be become vaporware, or that TCs really suck. Start your own thread for that.

Sounds interesting. An intellectual's plugin...this could be very promising. Good luck!
(That reminds me. Better get back to work on Retribution...Azdara's working at a frightingly fast rate.)

Yeah. Primarily through references through naming, and desc's throughout.

Uh... yeah. Yes I am. In fact I took this week off working on the plug.
I'll get back to it this week. I got stuck on the NSE fighter, had to remake it, it looked ****. Tomorrow eh?

I'd love to do some work on this, sounds like you have a great backstory (love the timeline bit), and some really awesome ideas.
Anyways, I can do a bit of 3d gfx work, whether ships, planets, or landing pics. However, I'm not sure exactly how much time I have, but I should be able to doa significant amount. Yes, that's right I just took every possible position.
The jist of it is that I'd love to help out, however I can, whether it's a lot or just a little.
e-mail me iamwallflower@yahoo.com
P.S. A good thing to do for your site would be to either tone down the BG pic or change the text color because it can get hard to read, seeing as the larger stars are sometimes in the way. Just a tip ------------------ skeptic

I'd like to help you. Your backstory is great. I'm curious to see what you have planned. I can do ship graphics and sounds. I have Lightwave and Audacity at my disposal. You can email me at: (url="http://"mailto:ariel@ropek.net")mailto:ariel@ropek.net(/url)ariel@ropek.net
I would be willing to do some of the 3D modeling. I have a fair artisitc tallent, though unfortunately, I have not posted my work recently (mainly due to the fact that most of my current work has centered around other things than ships and the like). Anyway, if you are intrested, drop me an e-mail at joeh@iapc.net and give me a heads up. Joe

Although I cannot formally commit to another project (already pretty busy as it is, even without EVN-related stuff), I'd be willing to draw concept art for you once in a while (if you so desire). If you want to see a sampling of my work, feel free to e-mail me.
I only own Mechanisto and Bryce 3 as graphics programs, I can't do sounds, and I have a jinx that makes nearly every resource I develop for EVN become buggy. That said, zhouj, what you have looks cool and I can offer moral support at least. Go! Zhouj! Go! Zhouj!
