As some of you know I’m making a mod of Ur-Quan Masters. This does not purport to be the sequel to Star Control II, but it does take place very quickly after SC II concludes and so can be played as one.
It’s called Project 6014, not for any good reason.
I will be driving this as best I can, but for it to be successful it will depend on the talents of the UQM community. In particular it’s art, graphics and dialogue that I need help with. I think I have the coding side sussed for now, although I will need AI for the new ships.
I have completed a working hyperspace star-map, with star names. I’ve also begun the daunting task of writing some initial dialogue for the seven known races that feature in this game
As far as practicable the Project’s construction will be concealed from the community as a whole. This way when y’all get to play it there will be plenty of fun surprises.
I’ll be creating some threads to deal with different aspects of this project, so keep an eye out for those.

I had great hopes for Nicholai's mod. A while back I'd emailed him and pmed him to see what he was up to, with no luck. Let's hope he's just too busy writing the story!
But really I think he's just given up, and this is why I'm having a go myself. If he does come back to the fold then I might not even need to do this.
The dialogue alone (90,000 words) will take over a year for one person to write. This is why I need help.

I might wait unyil this is more news worthy before i ask to make it news. It might be a bit presumptuous.
I've been rereading the threads associated with Nicholai's mod, and as he did I need to actualyl get somethign in front of people to get their enthusiasm.
Also, reading that stuff, it made me realise that he made a LOT of progress. I cant believe that he just gave up. I'm hoping that he's JUST about to emerge from the wilderness with his completed Spathi adventure.

Ooookaaaaay.
So this is what I've gleaned from various posts and PMs.
Contributors in approximate order of enthusiasm:
- Cedric6014 - coordinator and coding lead (
 ?) - edmund - fixing all Cedric's coding mistakes (i.e. actual coding lead)
- VileRancour - Ship Art, Comm screens
- Perytenlover (LJ) - Dialogue (Androsynth)
- Durandel - Alien art, ship art
- Son_Of_Antares - dialogue
- Jaychant - Casual coding (easy stuff)
- Neonlare - Dialogue, Music, Sound, Graphics
- Elerium - Dialogue
- TheMisterCat - Music
- Sirving - graphics
- Tim - Storyline, dialogue
- Elivsh Pillager - Casual coding (hard stuff)
I intend to follow up with you individually when time permits. In the mean time feel free to do stuff 
If you have "dialogue" next to your name and would like to assume responsibilty for a particular race, let me know which (be it old or new) and I'll fill you in on relevent plot details
And if you're not on this list but want to be, let me know what you want to do and it shall be.
I can't promise anyone that their contributions will make the finished product, but so far I'm extremely delighted with everything I've seen.

I think you should make a website. Weebly.com is a good place for free websites (I use weebly for my sites) and you can use a free .co.nr URL to redirect to the actual website.

I've never made a website in my life. Learning how would consume too much of my time. I'd rather spend time on actualyl doing stuff

As far as I know, such systems are rather.. crappy..
Additionally, I doubt this project would need anything like that as of right now. The only thing that I see that could be useful is a wiki, and that's it...
Making a website for a project only delays it and puts focus on things that aren't needed.

Thanks! can't see it happening any time soon, but it might be necessary of this plot development thing gets way too big for just me tohandle. I think it would be smart to have a forum for folks to discuss storylines etc
