---------------------------------------
we need this kinds of concepts:
- Characters
- Buildings
- Weapons
---------------------------------------------
Requirements
- must be 3 views (perspective, left, front)
- also the concepts must be of a good detail
- if you're ready, contact: wilbert@vdridder.net
- The concepts are meant to be in middle ages/fantasy time
---------------------------------------------------
Character challenges
Gnomes ( small )
--------------------------
A peaceloving people that will not start a fight to soon, unless challenged.
But when they do get mixed up in some kind of battle, they'll be the first to draw their axes.
Classes:
- Beserker ( fighter )
- Slinger ( long distance fighter )
- Curist ( healer )
- Orbist ( magic fighter )
Humans ( medium )
-------------------------------
Corrupted by the lust for power and welth Humans posses both good and evil influences.
But when confronted with war, they hardly ever decline it.
Classes:
- Centurion ( fighter )
- Crossbowmen ( long distance fighter )
- Priest ( healer )
- Wizard ( magic fighter )
Orks ( large )
-------------------
A fearsome race made for war and battle. Always looking for blood to spill and enemy's to slaughter.
Orks are known to be the most violant people of them all. Don't think that winning a war against them
is going to be easy, cause it's gonna be hard and bloody as hell.
Classes:
- Warlord ( fighter )
- Spearthrower ( long distance fighter )
- Shaman ( healer )
- Warlock ( magic fighter )
Dreamons ( huge )
---------------------------
Spawned from the deepest holes of hell, these creatures are both mysterious as they are evil.
They do not care for welth or power, they only care for the pleasure of destroying entire races.
Should you ever face these creatures in battle, I suggest you just turn around and run as fast as the wind.
Classes:
- Diatric ( fighter )
- Ballismar ( long distance fighter )
- Ulmin ( healer )
- Necrain ( magic fighter )
Buildings
For the buildings we need houses, holes or map concepts which deals with the theme (fantasy/middle ages) and which will be playable (good gameplay)
Weapons
It's your own choise which weapons you make, but every class in a single race must able to use it.

openFRAG is an open-source project.
a little story about us:
On the 20th of May 2003 one of our founding members, IFASS, came up with the idea of developing a game, together with anyone he could find. What kind of game it needed to be was still not certain but one thing was certain, it had to be open-source from the start. A large part of the target audience at the host forum was, and is, very fond of the opensource community. While many people are still not much further than opensource is for free as in free beer, and not free as in freedom.
So where do you start? You have this desire to get as many people you can working on a game that you still don't even know what it should be like. In the early days we really talked a lot on IRC, while many people were extremely motivated on pioneering in this project it became very clear to me that there were so many opinions that it would probably never come out of the idea phase.
Some people wanted to make a role playing game, others rather worked on a real time strategy but the absolute winner was the first person shooter. The next problem that arose the more quickly was the setting of the game would it be history, present, future or fantasy based, and to be honest we never really answered this question. It's still open. And that's probably where the most interesting part of openFRAG is to be found. We began developing with only one real objective, developing a game we would like to play ourselves. For one person that would be slaughtering aliens on a spaceship, while others rather be a knight and save the maiden.
Mostly commercial game development focus is based on the biggest target audience, so what you see is waves of games that are more or less the same, as you are seeing at the moment with World War 2 first person shooters. Games like Half Life relive their popularity by MOD's like Counter-Strike, giving the player a total different game by still using the same engine and environment.
openFRAG in this context is not a game but more of a game platform. Beside the development of the platform we can create as many MOD's or "themes" like we prefer to call it and integrate them into the project. That would enable you to create a server where you can be a knight, fighting an alien in a supermarket.(or any other weird combination you can come up with)
We are not the first guys to come with an idea like this, you have probably seen other projects like ours and see them bleed to death after a few months, and some even quicker. Maybe you were even in one of those projects. I can't guarantee that we will build a game that equals the quality of games like Half Life 2 or Doom 3, and it's very probable that we never will. But if you have enough motivated and talented guys together with one clear vision, we can have a real good time trying.
