   3D Football Game Team Underway!
  I have seen that more and more big companies are going way for 3D football games (I am not talking about the 2D manger sim football games) for the PC.  I mean, take for example this year, The only football game I could find in stores like EB and BestBuy was Madden 2004, which is a great game, no doubt.  It is not that I don't like madden, it is just that i would like to have more of a section to choose from.  So I, a Game Designer/3D Modeler, have desided to startup a team to develop a new 3D football game for the PC.Right now there is not much for development in the game, but I will try to give you some information to give you a hint of what trial I am on.  First of all, this game a very little budget, so this is a non-payment job, unless we can get the game to sell.  The game will not just be the Same old NFL rules and nothing more.  This game will include the NFL rules, CFL Rules, Like no fair catches, and some custom rules that the team comes up with.  The player can choose from 4 different rules modes: 1. NFL only; 2. CFL only; 3. Predefined Custom Rules; 4. Create own Custom rules(the player can chosse which rules (s)he wants to use).  There are also 3 fields that they can choose from: 1. The Default NFL feild; 2. The default CFL field; 3. Our own Custom field.  Now the custom field that I have designed is this:1. 10 Yard Endzones   130 Yards from Goal Line to Goal Line   25 Yards wide   (Which makes up a total Yardage of 150*25)2. Misc stuff:   *NO OUT OF BOUNDS: ~Instead of a out of bounds, there will be a large paded wall all across the edge of the field.Now this is not the end to the custom field, but it is a start.  Right now, the team is me a one other designer who is right now helping me gather all info about NFL/CFL rules and stuuf like that.  I could still use 1 more person to help with that.  Also I would like to get one 3D modeler,  Right now there is no 3D modeling package that must be used becuase the 3D model file is not yet defined so you can use Lightwave (which is what I have), 3ds Max, Milkshape (I have that to), Maya, or whatever for  now(LW, 3DS, MS is what I really want to be used).  Finally, I would also like to bring in one good programmer to to desided a  few thing like if we will build the engine or use a opensource engien like O.R.G.E. and set a path for the programming side of the game.  Here is a list of want i am looking for and how many I am looking for right now (for poeple who don't like to read):* One Designer* One 3d Modeler* One ProgrammerIf you are interested in the project please leave at the least your e-mail here in the post, but I would like to have your AIM or MSN name if you have it.  You can also drop me a e-mail at:modeler3dguy@hotmail.comif you like.  Thank you for your time.SincerelyRyan ZecPS. Sorry if any of my spelling is wrong or I used bad english, it is a little late right now.[edited by - 3dmodelerguy on February 14, 2004 8:33:48 PM]
  I could also use a 2D artist for textures adn stuff like that. ;  The padded wall around the edge of the field sounds like arena football-style fields.   But the ball, in arena football, CAN go out of bounds by going over the wall. Just thought I would let you know. ;  cool, did not know that, thanks.  I am still like for programmers, 3d Modelers. ;  I just saw that i typed my e-mail wrong here it is:modeler3dguy@hotmail.com(corrected above too)sorry about that. ;  There had to be some programmer that are willing to help out in this project? ;  bump. ;  http://www.maximum-football.com/ ;  That is a good looking game. But it looks like it is still in development or eople would be able to order it? ;  PC Gamer did an article a little while ago (Maybe holiday issue?) on independant football games, actually.  One of them might have been Maximum Football, I don''t remember the name of the other one, but there are at least two out there.
