Project:
Zork: The Great Underground Empire Remastered (a.k.a. Zork: The Empire Resurfaced)
Details:
A graphical remake of the hit text adventure Zork I: The Great Underground Empire. The graphics can be SCI, AGI, or VGA, depending on the amount of quality that volunteers believe free work entitles (this is just being made to . The game shall have a somewhat larger focus on plot, and setting up a backstory for the reasons the character is in the area. Besides additions to the plot and minor alterations to the role of the Thief, the game shall retain many of the same puzzles as in the original Zork.
I originally attempted to do the work completely by myself. However, I found that my skill in the graphics department was lacking greatly. So I have decided to brush the dust off this old project and get it out there, except with people who know what they're doing graphics-wise.
Positions Available:
Background/object designers and character designers are especially wanted. Placeholder characters of questionable quality are being used to test the game currently, however, backgrounds are nonexistent at the current time, and are all too necessary. If you wish to do either of these, feel free to PM. I do not care what quality the background is at, however, whatever quality the background is will also determine the character quality as well.
OPTIONAL: If people truly wish to try to voice act for the project, and the speaking roles are filled, then voice acting shall be permitted in the game. I may also need minor assistance in programming, but this I believe can be as easily achieved by asking questions in the forum instead of hiring another coder to assist in the design.
Deadline:
I am hoping to have Zork Remastered released sometime between the June 2013 and Sept 2013 timeframe.
Comments:
Interested parties can reply to this thread or contact me via PM.
Also, character design shall be a much quicker process than background design. Zork is infamous for its great multitude of backgrounds, rooms, and areas, and although some areas shall be removed for the sake of game size, (a vast majority of the outside part of the game) the number of backgrounds in the game shall still be quite large.
