Introduction
Welcome to the newly created sub-site of NE14HOCKEY site dedicated to the PC Game. A Facebook group was started "I Want A Field Hockey Computer Game".
We thought it was such a good idea and we happen to know a bit about Computer Game development so we thought well why not so a new group was started "Field Hockey - PC Game by NE14HOCKEY" and we intend to start putting together a proposal for the development of a Field Hockey PC game built using the Source engine as a HL2 modification.
NE14HOCKEY PC GAME
Well where to begin. The people have spoken, and what the people have said is that there is a demand for something Field Hockey players have never really had and that is a Computer Game based on our beloved sport.
NE14HOCKEY is here to try and change that. We offer no guarantees that we will succeed, the only guaranty we will give you that we will try!!
The road we have decided to undertake is a long one, so please don't expect there to be a fully functional all singing all dancing Field Hockey Game for you to play constantly over the summer holidays.
However, because we have chosen to use the HL2 Source Engine it does mean we can release something 10x faster than an established studio, sure it might be buggy, it may on occasion crash but by god there will be hockey sticks involved!!
The Team
Well to be honest at the time of writing (Apr 4th 2009) there is no team. The Facebook Group has existed for 2 days...
You could count me as a member of the team, but I won't claim to be a games developer. I will claim that by the end of this process I might be able to make such a claim. I do have a degree in IT, and I intend to get my hands well and truly dirty, I'm not just all ideas and no action.
Anyone with experience in developing on the HL2 Engine should email: pcfhg@fieldhockeygame.co.uk with your resume. As with all mods there is no guaranteed monetary reward although we will offer you a % of any income we generate from the game but those details will be discussed with you individually.
So what is the plan?
Well the first thing we intend to do is to get a basic pitch environment developed by the guys at Dimension Studios (work starts on it this weekend) for Counter Strike Source (the most popular HL2 Modification) and get it hosted for anyone who has CSS to play on it.
We have plenty of other ideas that we will discuss in more detail in the coming weeks & months but we don't want to get distracted from our main goal which is to develop a fully interactive and playable PC Field Hockey Game. What I can say is our plans include a Facebook Application.
We intend to post new content here each week to keep you updated with the latest developments and ideas. We also have a series of Polls to run to get your opinions on a few things releated to the game.
