Looking to team up to build a campaign

[TheHighwayman]

Hello,

 

I am looking to team up with one or two people to build a campaign.

 

I am passable with the mission editor and have built a few missions you can download and play, but my skills have a limit. Someone with advanced skills would be appreciated to help my vision become reality.

 

The idea is to build a campaign set in the Caucuses that deals with a small independent state facing invasion from the U.S. and neighbors.

 

The original idea is fairly humorous (tongue-in-cheek), the small state has just one aircraft, and one qualified pilot, so it's quite an underdog story. Of course, this changes as the missions progress. The pilot will also progress though a few different aircraft; MiG 15, MiG 21, MiG 29, Su 27.

 

The campaign will consist of 10 missions or so.

 

I'm very good with ideas and I can help build. I am also a decent writer, so I can write everything needed for the mission from the story, to the briefings, to the scripts and more.

 

I would need help with the actual build of the scenarios and voice acting.

 

Is there anyone out there who wants their name on a campaign? Here's your chance. Message me and let me know what you're willing to do. Please be a follow-though-in-a-timely fashion kinda person, please. Be prepared to see the campaign through to the end. That's very important.

 

Thanks!

Here is the overview for the first mission I attempted to build. It will give you an idea of the backstory for the campaign.

 

South Ossetia bills itself as the "Best Third World Country in the World." Admittedly, your government is weak when it comes to promoting its tourism.

 

The people of South Ossetia, all 200,000 of them, are very proud and very independent. Their customs are unique and they're given to hyperbole.

 

That's terribly evident when it comes to you. You are South Ossetia's "No. 1 Best Pilot!" You are also the country's only fighter pilot, flying the only fighter plane in the arsenal, an antiquated MiG 15bis. This does make you the nation's Top Gun, but you also happen to be the official janitor for your barracks, so there's that to keep it in perspective...

 

Your country has been neglected since the end of the Cold War. Old Soviet airbases dot the countryside next to small towns, and that's literally it. The country makes money from a little agriculture, a smattering of tourists, and your one tech firm does produce the world's best spam emails. And we mean the best, they get an over 1% open rate. Otherwise, it's one of the world's poorest states. But your people are proud and they take care of what little they have.

 

Of course, all this is about to change.

 

A few years ago, a geological survey revealed your country was blessed with oil. A lot of oil. In fact, the entire country sits atop one of the largest oil reserves in the world.

 

Wisely, your leaders kept this discovery quiet and your government has erected a small oil patch to drill and refine some fuel for domestic use with a tiny bit left over for export. It's not much, but it's helping your people.

 

Moreover, it is less than a percent of what could be, if your country allowed outsiders in to take over... Enter, the USA.

 

Your people have a custom. Before asking for something big or important, it is customary to offer a token gift. To fail to do so is considered a grave offense. Naturally, the Americans visited and immediately asked to pump your oil on questionable terms that left your people only a small share of the revenue and the Americans a couple military bases. And they forgot the gift, of course.

 

This one-sided offer was flatly refused and the American delegation expelled.

 

Since diplomacy and bribery have failed, it is time for the Americans to get that oil by other means. Naturally, your leaders have courageously vowed to resist and pleded that you would fight to the bitter end to prevent them from despoiling South Ossetian soil.

 

You should be proud that your country has such faith in your ability.

 

Good luck.

Hey!

Very good description and idea, made me laugh :) and good material for a rather relaxed campaign. One remark though - I'd rather swap South Ossetia for Abkhazia, as the former has no airfields (at least in game, though I am pretty sure that IRL as well) :)

 

Being realy busy with several projects ATM I won't be able to committ myself too much, but I am happy to help if you need some voiceovers with Eastern type of access or if you have any questions regarding the ME.

 

Good luck with this one!

Thank you! Voiceovers will be important for the project. I'll post here if I can get someone who can help me with the advanced editing.

Fun idea :)

Unfortunately much like Mr. Dragon here I have a ton on my plate at the moment but I'll be happy to offer advice re: scripting; shoot me a PM if you run into problems!
