Project-Contingency (Fan made Halo Game)

[kachan64]

Hello Neowin!

 

As I'm sure many of you know, we recently showed off our project codenamed "Contingency" at the CE3 event, being hosted by MatthewDratt, and SlowBullet of this community. I wanted to come here and tell you a little bit more about the project, and present an opportunity to any interested individuals who are interested in helping out. 

 

 

Project Contingency is a fan made halo game set in the halo universe, it is currently being developed for the PC and will be using the CryEngine 3 SDK, the same engine that powers the Crysis series, Ryse, Kaido Xtreme Racing, and many other state of the art games. Please note however this is not a mod for any of these games, its a fully fledged game. 

That being said, Project: Contingency isn't simply a "Halo 3 HD in CryEngine" nor is it just another "Halo" game, we are doing things that no other halo game has ever done, we are definitely keeping the core things intact however we are doing a ton of new, exciting things. 

 

 

Here are some images from our project to look over, please note that all this content is subject to change, and is all WIP. 

 

 

As a team we see the halo modding community as a very talented group of people. If anyone on these forums are interested in assisting with the project (in whatever way, from concept art, to website design, to modeling, texturing and design) please head over to our website and check out the recruitment section.

 

Applications are checked every 5 hours.

Note: I'm just help to spread out this awesome project. If you're interested, please read out FAQ below or help out:

 

Q: So obviously Project: Contingency is a game for the PC. Halo 2 was the last halo game on PC. Has that game influenced the project at all?

A: Halo 2 has always been one of my favorite games to date, and definitely one of the best halo games in my mind. I think as a team we definitely have been, and will continue to reference Halo 2, not just due to it being the last Halo PC game, but also because it had all the basic gameplay mechanics that define halo, and as a team I think we reference it quite a bit.

 

Q: Will the main player be Master Chief?

A: Nope, but will be someone else.

 

Q: Has any deleted parts of past Halos, encouraged you to resurrect something that never made it in the original halos?

 

A: I think that a lot of content was cut from the halo games simply because it wouldn't fit into the standard halo game, for various reasons. I definitely think that the experience we are trying to craft definitely opens up new doors in the sandbox, allowing us to try more things and experiment with cut content that didn't make it into other halo games.

 

Q: City looks bland, phantom looks meh. Decent visuals for a teaser. Work on it moar or else I'll have to Dsali Slap you. Are you looking for help at all?

A: Don't worry, the graphics are still a work in progress and we are actively working to improve them.

 

And yes! We are currently are looking for assistance in a variety of fields. If you are an individual who thinks they might be interested in helping out with this project, feel free to check out the recruitment page of our site and submit an application!
