Ladies, gentlemen, children under the age of 13 (or act like it), it is with great pleasure that I present to you my most important showcase since I came to massassi. Yes, I will showcase images, yes they will be pretty, but the images are not what makes this thread important. What makes this thread important is that it symbolizes the beginning of a glorious project, something to which I intend to devote myself whole-heartedly. My friends, I am restarting Lotus.

Now I know many of you are asking just why the hell anyone, especially me, especially now, would do this. The reason I have in mind is simple: in my entire time at Massassi I have yet to complete a single project. I have started many, done minimal work for some, but have completed none. Before I outgrow this community and move on with my life, I want to leave something behind; I want to leave my mark on this community, and Lotus is my way of doing that. By creating a revolutionary total conversion the likes of which the JK community has never seen, I can be forever remembered even after I have left.

The idea behind Lotus was simple: create an experience like that of an MMORPG for single player in the JK engine. Huge areas to explore, tons of melee weapons, people to interact with and fight. At the time I was unwilling to do my part and had no one else to work with. All that, however, has changed. For starters, our very own Blood Asp has agreed to do all the level work for the project, the biggest challenge that faced the project the first time around. In addition I have drawn the designs for over 50 new weapon models, as well as 20 new player and character models and 35 monsters, each of which will have their own new animations. This truly will be a revolutionary undertaking.

Now, naturally, this is a showcase thread and as such I should show some sort of eye candy. Since the bulk of the work is only in the planning stage (I've asked Blood Asp to post some of his work and he will soon be doing so) I'd rather not show it, but I have prepared a sample of the quality you can all expect from my work. When I first introduced Lotus I presented this weapon as one that would be ingame:



In the spirit of rebirth I have redesigned this weapon:



I promise that each model I produce for Lotus will be of this same level of quality and detail. I will work hard to make this project the best I can and I assure you all, it will be a Jedi Knight experience like no other.

Thank you for your time.

Damn, here I was hoping it'd be Transformer's sex.

But I can relate to the never finishing projects sentiment, and it looks good so far. Good luck man.

I couldn't post anything but wireframes or I'd be abused instead of humped tonight.


Entrance to a city. It's sorta skyscraper meets fudal castle.

A small fortress for the outsirts of town. I will also be creating walls for cities with fortresses similar to this every so often.

CANE

Why do I have a feeling this is a part of an April Fools joke...

:em321:

A) It's not april fools today.

B) I was involved in the planning of Blood Asp's april fools joke, that was the only joke I had planned for this april fools.

I am completely serious about my project and, though I guess it's expected given that there have been several jokes already and we're not even at the first of april, I assure you that this is not a joke.

Super helped my fix the grass 3dos that I used. For some reason, they were fully lit.

If this is an April fool's joke, I'm going to be one pissed off mother ****er. I mean it, Super. I've spent countless hours tinkering in JED, and I will not have this hard work go up in smoke just because you wanted a cheap ****ing laugh. You WILL[/U] release some form of downloadable content.

Well, if this IS legitimate, I would like to lend my talent and experience to the project. I had been thinking here recently how, with the latest advancements in JK, how a working MMO would now be possible. Not only a working MMO, but an expandable MMO where more content could be added as time went on.

Oh, I'm definitely not joking. You, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about. I was talking to MAZZter and he seems to remember you saying something about ****ing with me. I swear to god Asp, if you're trying to pull some stupid joke on me , I will make your life a living nightmare.

If you guys keep up with that attitude, this project isn't going to go very far, I think. :p

Just wait till we get through with tomorrow, then everything will be fine. For the moment, I just don't trust Asp not to screw me.

Ha! The team members are suspicious of each other already. :p

I'll screw you, just not in that way.

This is no time for being sexy Asp.

i hope this is a real project.the levels and weapons already look cool.

Nonono that is NOT what i said. I said that Asp had decided to make 3/31 his own personal April Fools day, and I noted he accepted your offer on the same day. That is all.

i accepted his offer a while back. i got him modelling again, thankfully he kept his clothes on. anyway, that's partially what inspired the new concussion rifle. i think the machine has been reactivated.

I remain skeptical and that this is yet another lame pre-April "fools" joke.

Well if we haven't convinced "CaptBevvil", we obviously have no legitimacy whatsoever!

It's a trap!

y does no1 have faith?i have little,but some.we all need it.

Zully, I'm so sick of your crap. I do, however, love your textures. Would you be interested in working for our mod?

Can I wait until tomorrow to respond?

I hope this isn't an April Fool's thing, because those weapons look pretty cool. So yeah.

I trust noone around the 1st of April. :p

Whether or not I trust you, it looks good so far. Glad to have you modeling again.

I trust them.it looks so freakin wicked.

GOD DAMNIT I HATE APRIL FOOLS.

FOOLED

why do you keep trusting Asp?

Because more often than not, I post legitimate showcases.

*counts up the tally*

3 jokes successfully pulled off. It's been a good weekend.

Two for me, not counting the one noones found out about yet :em321:

And again I was right!!!!

Of course, S51's real reason for restarting Lotus is because I simply won't let him forget about it. I still call him Lotus every time I talk to him. Bwahahaha.
