Vega United is Hiring
 
Vega United is an upcoming Zombie/Modern server that will knock your hands off your keyboard and have you yelling obscenities.

http://vega-united.weebly.com

Imagine a vast open-world experience in which creatures that are not of this world come after you and try to rip your brains out. 'OH CRAP!' Grab that gun and run! The ZOMBIES are coming, not only zombies though, this server will have multiple monsters that you must kill to survive.

We are in need of all development positions, mainly Animators, or GANI's. The requirements to work on this server is just that you agree to be active and to show some sort of work you may have done before.

If you would like a job, you have several ways to contact me.

I can make Levels and do some scripting. The goal of this server is to have a surivial type of theme, in which you must either team up or go alone and try to kill the enemy. It will also be allowed to betray your teammates and leave the group and decide to actually join the Zombie Horde.

Good luck.

jkldogg 02-15-2010 10:25 AM

Thanks, lol I need help though.

Is this some India site?

Well I was originally going to say something clever about how bloody retarded you are, but then I logged on and saw what the GATs did (I think the graphics are quite nice) and thought I could help out in the scripting department. Don't currently have Gold, though.

EDIT:
Also, the two interior levels and the gmap that a user can see by logging on are pretty much terrible. Find LATs and don't call yourself one because you lack skills in any other department.

i must disagree on the graphics department, they are not very different from any modern server i've seen, or better.

Are we looking at the same server?

Looks like it's the LAT's fault to me.

Unkownsoldier 02-15-2010 07:16 PM

I hate modern servers. Most of the time the GATs make the tiles disgusting colors and the LATs put it together in a way that makes me want to delete the game. In that picture it looks very dull and the graphics make me want to smash my computer screen because it depresses me. Can someone make a server thats not modern, nor middle-ages, nor future. I would like to see a server that takes in a new time period and uses new ideas instead of the old replayed ideas. Awesome .

Soala 02-15-2010 10:37 PM

Modern servers are all so dark, its like always the night.
Even if they include a day/night system, it will only make the server darker during the day.

Please, for the next modern server, bright colours even for the roads wouldn't hurt.

Exactly!

Someone should make Miami in 1987 like i've said before. :mad:

fowlplay4 02-16-2010 02:41 AM

Lacks post-apocalyptic feel, needs more dirt and things on fire, less-than reputable characters going through trash and such.

Other than that Good luck.

Thats depressing. Who would want to play a server like that? I want a server thats much brighter that will portray life as fun lively place.

Era's tileset isn't dark compared to most modern servers'...that's actually the one thing I liked about it. It is, however, something I tried to get revamped for quite some time because it's so bad :(.

My GAT's are very good in my opinion, I do call myself a LAT because I've made a lot of levels and it's like the only dev I understand lol. And if you ever get gold, I hope you would consider helping me.

Not at all, look at Graal Ghetto, basically all black. :\

papajchris 02-16-2010 06:53 AM

Nonetheless, cool idea jkldogg. Hope it works out for you. There was another server that got pretty far on the whole zombie idea, but i think the server died. Im sure you have seen it or if not, you should. Anyways my point is maybe you can improve your server even more by talking to their previous staff members and find what ideas they had and how they set their server up. :)

I agree with this guy. :cool:

The server should be very dark, scary and untamed. There should be blood and gore, there should be violence and swearing.

The server itself should be chaotic.

DustyPorViva 02-16-2010 05:06 PM

I'd work REALLY hard on eliminating the pattern in those tiles, like the grass and asphalt. Secondly, I'd look up some real references to urban buildings and such instead of even thinking of Era. I can tell there are some bad habits already picked up from the style Era has that has creeped over into your tileset, even when it barely makes sense. These small details are what makes it hard to see anything other than an Era look-alike, even when the overall picture was never meant to be such. What's with the orange traffic-line, by the by?

As for the post-apocalyptic feel... you don't need to sacrifice colors or make it all goth in order to create a post-apocalyptic setting. Destruction of the environment does not necessarily mean destruction of art. Color is indeed more widely associated with beauty and life, but if done well can be just as convincing as anything else. L4D2 pulled it off pretty well, in my opinion.

Totally agree. I personally find Zombie-ish settings to be rather easy to create. :D

Thank all of you for your great ideas! I intend on doing the whole dark gloomy idea of a server. And if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. I really need people who can Animate guns.

I dunno that it necessary needs to be dark and gloomy, although if done well it would certainly add to the atmosphere.

In any event, here's what our Zombie Outbreak event on Delteria looks like, to give you an idea:

Agreed. These tiles are spectacular. In my opinion, whoever made these tiles have an extremely high level of talent.

Cloven, that picture is extremly good. I love that type of image. The 3D type that looks realistic more than any other server. Would you consider doing some work for me?

Sorry, I really do not have the free time to work on much of anything as it is, let alone another Graal server.

Also, the artwork in the picture is Sandz' work, though my style for Graal purposes tends to be about the same.
