Ideas for the mod

Well, we need ideas. I'm thinking something like Mario Kart 64 and Half-Life meet. We've got some hilarious characters already, we need some ideas for items, and maps too.

I'm going to be handling the programming side, if anybody is interested in helping out let me know.

/fit/fag, so I'm gonna go work out, be back in a bit. logo coming soon.

Update

If you wanna help program the mod, I only ask that you are proficient in C++ and have Visual Studio 2005 or later (you can download Visual Studio 2010 for free from MS's website, or pirate the professional version).

We also need artists, people who can use Hammer Editor and make some cool shit, 3D modeling and animators, people willing to contribute ideas, and testers.

Gabe needs to see this. Freeware game on Steam? I think it sounds like a great idea.

Sup, I'm the guy that offered to help with web design (PHPBB3, vBulletin, CMS - I have huge experiance on all) and any graphic design or artwork, I personally love the idea and massive props to the OP for the concept art of beautifulness.

Emailing gaben now - lets get this shit started off, I take it it will be made as a GMOD mod?

EDIT: WHAT SHALLTH THE NAME OF THIS GLORY BE CALLETH?

Here's an item idea: A portal gun that you pick up and can use to portal a distance ahead.

That would be intensely over powered if everyone is racing unless its limited

I sent it to Gaben when I first had the idea. I got no response man. Also I dont think it should be made in Gmod. It would be the art style that set it apart and gives it most of the humour.

Ps. I am also experienced in graphic design. I've been doing it in college for the last four years.

It would only be a short distance.

How about this one: A bottle of pills that make you temporarily invincible.

I got!
ok
how about
guys
how about
Mossman riding a very veiny cock?

Weapons:
-Portal gun: teleportation; short distance maximum
-Bottle of pills: Temporarily invincible
-Lemons: Equivalent of a bob-omb
-City scanner: Temporarily blinds the player; kind of like a blooper, but more effective
-Acid antlion: Spits acid, can only be used 3 times.
-Adrenaline: Speed boost
-Organic gravity gun: pick up cart in front of you and fling it
-Hopper mine: equivalent of a banana in mario kart

Mah nigga

So the main thing we have to decide right now is will this be a stand-alone Half-Life mod or branch off from Gmod? I'm leaning towards a stand-alone Half-Life mod, mostly because that gives us a lot more flexibility.

I vote for stand alone. As Ive said before I'd really like to keep the art style. Although, that would be majorly difficult. We would have to make new models from scratch, right? I honestly have no experience in modeling or anything related to modding. I am eager to learn though.

The different art style would require new models and that would be difficult and we would need some /3/ people who know their shit in modeling. I've only done a little bit in 3DS Max and that was quite some time ago, but it's not entirely out of the question.

I've got work tomorrow, and I've got some IRL matters to attend to tonight, so Thursday's going to be the day that I'll officially start this project. I'd really like it if anybody reading this spam 4chan or other places for that matter where people would be interested in this... I really wanna get a lot of people involved, or at least some sort of community to help keep the project alive. I'll definitely have something tangible by the end of this weekend or maybe next, so stay tuned.

Keeping the art style really isn't going to happen unless you want it made in flash or someone knows how to make great cartoony models in a tool kit, hammer is by far the simplest option unless you can find someone to do something differently and who is willing to do so (as to make the art style from scratch would require a lot of dedication)

I honestly dont see the point in doing it if the art style isnt kept.

Its impossible to keep the art style

Not a great way to look at it.
