Today I introduce to you DREAM CASTERS' DUEL, an original, online, multi-player, stand-alone mod built upon the Quake III engine! Dream Casters' Duel will combine elements of a FPS with a barebones fighting game in a stylized, anime setting. DCD will be cell-shaded, feature hand-to-hand combat, telekinetic attacks, surreal maps and seemingly hallucinogenic game-play.

Synopsis: Lucid dreaming: A phenomenon in which a dreaming individual is able to consciously bend the reality of the dream world to his or her own will, performing, for all intensive purposes, the miraculous...

Researcher Alchem Albrecht has assembled a contingent of test-subjects willing to conduct a foray into the nether regions of human conscious and beyond. The test-subjects all possess the ability to dream lucidly and have been hired to prove their proficiency. Empowered with the latest technology, Alchem Albrecht is able to both challenge and observe the contestants within the dream state. Only the most fantastic dreamers will witness the results of these experiments... Fewer still will come to understand their purpose, and only one will achieve their significance...

Mappers needed.

The mod team responsible for the creation of Dream Casters' Duel is currently looking for volunteer mappers to create fun and innovative maps. Dream Casters' Duel offers a unique and rewarding experience for mappers because the setting of the game is the dream state, so anything you can dream up can be realized as a map!

[*]Volunteers must furnish examples of previous work.
[*]Mappers must be willing and able to texture their map, being mindful of the cell-shaded style.
[*]Mappers will also be expected to create props for their maps in order to create a detailed and highly immersive experience.
[*]Mappers must be willing and able to create a number of promotional materials featuring their creations, including, but not limited to, screenshots and fly-throughs. Promotional materials must be rendered in the cell shaded style.
[*]The ability to add scripted sequences will be considered a plus.

If you are interested in the volunteer mapping position, please pm mikejkelley in the dcdthegame.com/forums.

Given the low success rate of mods in general, I understand how many mappers would be hesitant to join such a project. However, I assure you that DCD is the real deal! I personally have created, skinned, and rigged eleven character models which will be released to the public according to this PR schedule. I've also completed most of the neccessary animations. Here's a preview of one of the first character models...
