Here are a few Samples of the work they have already done on the project as a matter of fact from our page at indie database to show the level and knowledge these two have.

A shout also goes out to Moc of mochosting.com of whom this site would not be where it is right now without his keen knowledge on e107 and programming mad skills. The new team is here as well since we’ve been using UDK there as I said some tradeoffs were done, no hurt feelings as far as I know of, and we all stay in touch. Now let me introduce the new team Bruce Buechner Co-Project manager Myself of Course Project Manager Sean DiVincenzo Concept Artist & 3d Modeler Alex Collins Level Designer David Treharne - Level & Weapons Modeler Robert Ramsay 3d Modeler Joseph Hayes 3d props modeler William MacPhee - OriginatorWe’ll be posting up some new Media clips as well from our staff on the models being done and the Map being built. So hang tight, as we will be posting here quite shortly and again thank you for sticking with us this long under the circumstances. ********************About the Project************************************** Japan 2025 A.D. the Kanto earthquake that hit at the same time the great planetary geo plates event occurred devastated most of Tokyo and destroying most of the surrounding prefectural as well. It was at that time Genom Corp and H.G. Corp stepped in with their resources and manpower to help rebuild Japan to semi livable state again. Thus MegaTokyo was created (Known to some as Genom City) to house and expand the Technological industries again to rebuild the globe after such a devastating event. Since then, there have been great leaps and bounds in the technological Mecca of MegaTokyo. Sony, NEC, Renraku, Genom, H.G. Corp, Hitachi and other such giants developed and harnessed the cybernetic technology that was developed by several key minds of the scientific community of the late 20th Century to bring The Voomer age into existence. During this birthing process, there many obstacles to go through as any type of developing product. Such was The Voomer outbreak of 2035. The H.G. Corp and Renashi Inc were taken over and infected with a Voomer Virus that rewrote and disengaged all safety protocals on existing voomers and even those being manufactured on the assembly lines ath their prospective plants. It was thanks to several teams and divisionary forces of the localized police forces that brought the outbreak under control and regained the plants while also capturing the cyber-terrorists that caused the incident. Since then, there are still minor outbreaks of crime and terrorist acts committed by voomers that have been stolen, armed and reprogrammed to commit these acts by cyber crime syndicates. As with these acts, the ADPD was formed to handle these unusual crimes and acts of violence. You are a fresh breath of air to the force and will be a vital part of your squad. Welcome to Megatokyo 2041 and the ADP Force. Skill strategy and teamwork will be the deciding force in this battle which side will you chose! This game will be mainly a competitive fps for the PC platform. This game is multi-player/Co-op Mission Based. It will have a William Gibson feel/environment to it. Access to powerful weapons and Vehicles will add to great team play and help with strategy. Fast pace team action. Hi Energy Music Score, urban based combat environments. Back story is a WIP, Classes, weapons and ammo stats, characters, pickups, urban map designs, concept art, game types, vehicle control themes, cut scene sequences, HUD development. The concept was not just my own design but that of Mr. William Macphee who helped me with the conception of the game design. After discussing with the IP holders it was given the green light since no plans to make a game of this design were ever discussed nor planned by said holders. We have a great set of modelers for props and vehicles and character setups. We have 3 coders working with the team as well. FX and Environmental are being handled by Lopar_XL we are in need of Animators and Riggers however; I plan on this being a fledgling project. This is for those with jobs who also dream of developing games. Long term goal is to setup the group up and pending on the results? This would be us going commercial as a small focused game studio team. [Submitted by MaestroDaVinci]
