Project name:
Sixth Extinction
Brief description:
Multiplayer pre-production PC demo for a 3D modern military RTS game.
The focus of this demo is game play. How the interface functionality, unit control and probability systems lead to never-seen-before modern military RTS game play. Please review the Home Page for the highlights of the game design.
Also, we want to complete this demo in a timely fashion so as to prove the ability of the team to set goals and stick to them. Once we have enough talent, and everyone is familiar with the technology that they will be using, we will officially set a one-year completion date for the demo project. We have a loosely constructed project layout that we will do our best to stick to.
The Torque Game Engine in action, some of you may recognize the RTS Starter Kit mission map underneath that Sixth Extinction user interface.
Target aim:
This demo will be used to gain a publishing deal to lead to a full production retail release.
Compensation:
Long-term team members will be welcome to join the final production team after a publisher picks up the game.
Long-term team members that do not join the final production team will be compensated through a contractual agreement that will assure them a minimum dollar amount (nothing huge, a couple hundred usd to show my thanks), any additional amount will be determined during the full production contractual negotiations. This agreement, and other legal issues, will be addressed after some longevity of the project has been established.
I am covering minimal support costs for programs and related materials/books.
Team members that offer a limited amount of useable material will be listed by name in all levels of the game credits. (Credible Experience)
Programming Technology:
Torque Game Engine 1.4
Torque RTS Starter Kit (Converted for Torque 1.4)
Torsion (Alpha) – Torque Script Development Environment
Torque Show Tool Pro
Torque Constructor – Map editor that is currently an in-house beta at Garage Games and is soon to be released
Subversion with Tortoise Shell – Revision Control System – Non-server variant managed by the project leader
Coders are welcome to use whatever C++ compiler they are comfortable with.
There is support from the Garage Games community for the use of MS Visual C++ 2005 Express, which then requires the installation and configuration of Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK
DTS export compatible 3D modeling programs:
Studio Max 4.2+
Maya 4.5-7.0
Lightwave 7.5+
Blender 2.43
MilkShape 1.7.0
Studio Max 7+ is preferred as there is a greater amount of support for 3ds Max from Garage Games and the Garage Games community than there is for other modeling programs.

Please review the Units Page:
The “Tactical Orders” operate from a target set that prioritizes weapons and targets and also determines what finite-ammo-weapons will be used automatically.
I have been working on this game design, off and on, for 8 years. I have a professional attitude and have experience working with teams in a technical atmosphere. I have generated a great deal of highly detailed documentation; this documentation is listed by title on the Home Page.
