Co-op Campaign?

team project here?
i can chip in some time with that...

ill do it along with the sequel

 

I think it should be semi-parallel to the SC storyline.

A secret experiment led by the United Nations had actually established a colony in the system code-named Eden. This colony prospered, but, with the rebellion and the establishment of the UED, all information regarding this project was lost with the executions of project members and leaders. However, the actually colonists were left much better off than the Korpulu colonists. They eventually spread out across several systems.

The new government was similar to the Confederation, and, eventually, rebellion starts in full swing across the (Republic of Planets?) systems, and the Republic was losing. A secret (Ghost? Valkyrie?) program designed to train elite programs abducted one of the main heroes' brother. The standing Republic forces on (Eden? Aeon?) decide to try and hold out, but not before something else arrives on planet. The rebels and loyalists unite to hold back this alien threat, and the republic sends reinforcements, including the guys' brother ghost. They hold back the threat, and the ghost breaks free of the government mind-control.

At the end, there is a ending against an unending alien battle, as some massive weapon prepares to launch against the enemy (nuke? ion cannon? space cannon?) and the player must evacuate all forces. The ghost sacrifices himself to help the weapon charge and the weapon fires, eradicating the planet.

And for later, the ghost actually manages to escape, in a chyraslis (?) with the Zerg.He becomes infected, and maybe add the Protoss?

Note: To all mapmakers, if this is used, please do not use the Protoss in any way.

 

I'm not really into the semi-parallel idea, but I think it could work out nicely.

The name Eden, I think it needs a change, but it'll do for now. How about something from egyptian or mesoamerican mythology? Greek and norse have been done lots of times and it would be nice to be a bit diffrent.

I like the Republic idea, but maybe we could call it a Counsil or a League, something that hasn't been done too often.

As for the ghost, how about the name Ilya Harper?

I'd go with an ion cannon. Have it shoot on a trigger, something like: "bring SCV with Psi Emitter to beacon, subtract X minerals and gas, kill all zerg in a certain area". There should be a price to use it rather then having it go off automaticly, and making a system of targeting beacons to make it aim at certain preselected areas isn't that hard to do.

I agree with the no Protoss thing, this idea will work better without them.

 

I think it should be pre-Starcraft. First contact with the Protoss and Zerg and whatnot. Essentially a Terran campaign, though. Also, I can do triggering, and maybe some terraining... And level design, which IS different.

 

Well for my idea, it is kinda pre-sc, as it is in another area with no contact of other people, and only knowledge that they came from Earth.

Eden is from Christianity, the garden of Eden, the original paradise.

The Ion Cannon (?) is designed to be something to protect and when it is done charging, the campaign ends as all Zerg is destroyed. The Protoss can either be military experiments, better equipment (nanosuits? tanks?), or aliens introduced in another episode.

 

Jobs?

Triggering Technician - Deals with triggering for the campaign levels. Also deals with the available technical uses for the editor/s.

Level Designer - Designs the basic layout of each level, what occurs in each level, and how each level is played out.

Storyline Creator - Writes the basic storyline of the entire campaign plot, as well as engages with the Level Designer to further the story in to details. Also works with the Triggering Technician on the Mission Briefings.

Cartographer - Creates the basic and advanced terrain for each level, in accordance with the Level Designer's basic layouts.


Each job could have more than one member based on availability and difficulty. I would suggest members only take on one job. I'll take Level Designer or Triggering Technician.

 

And Tester. But everyone would be a tester.

I would be a Level Designer or Storyline Creator.

BTW, future updates will be on the front page.

 

2nd level designer, I can be, helping the level designer with good ideas and giving advise
dunno if I can help much else though, pretty n00b at mapmaking...

 

I can helps with triggers I'm pretty good with em but doing a whole campaign worth may be a bit hard by myself. Is this going to be for Sc2 or Sc?

 

Depends on SCII release date
So... Is that mean that you're on triggers?

ursawarrior and EatMeReturns, decide on something quick, and som1 get the Ximp...

 

I'll do trigs with vamp, i guess. And maybe help with level design with you, arven? or with mongo? or something?

 

pick me, pick me

 

I think storyline creator will be fun. However, I will need help for this.

 

I wanna be a *Storyline Designer*

 

I know this may be a bit late, but I'll do terrain if you still need someone to. I love it

Oh, and we should get a social group going for this Just a thought!

So how's that story?

 

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but can anyone recommend a good coop campaign for starcraft 1 that is already done, and can be played on Bnet?

BTW I look forward to your guys project as well!

 

Sorry mate, can't help you there.

Anyways back on topic, I think its a good idea for a storyline. But in my opinion I think we should come up with our own character names to give it a bit more 'individuality'... Just a thought...

Oh, and is this for SC2 or SC:BW?

 

lets name 'em after us

 

Oh, oh... Can i be Simbob?
