Hello,

Do you know Captain Blood ? A fantastic game created by ERE Informatique / Exxos in 1988 on Atari ST, Amiga, Amstrad CPC...

If not, go there : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Blood_(video_game)

I really love this game ! You are Captain Blood and you have to visit planets in the hydra galaxy to find the 5 clones... You travel into space to meet alien species...

I'm working on my own (for the moment) on a new version of Captain Blood !
You can check out the beginning of my work here : http://captainbloodark.blogspot.com/



I need zBrush artists to help me to create alien species...
I would like to have 3D models of the original species (Izwal, Migrax, Tubular brains...) but i would like to add a lot of new alien species !

If you are ok, please send me screenshots of your artwork.

My goal is to developp a community about this new version of Captain Blood.

If you contribute, your name will appear in the credits of the game.

If you send me zBrush models (.obj or .ztl), i won't diffuse them, i will keep them only for Captain Blood game usage.


I'm waiting for you !!!

I can help you, for only 300 Bucks.

Captain Blood.. I remember it had a real cool soundtrack created by Jean Michel Jarre.

[bloodark]

Yes, you're right, the music was taken from Jean Michel Jarre...

not exactly lining up.

For high quality art, money is the thing to mention.

That said, I was a huge Captain Blood years ago, so this project looks exciting!

Perhaps you can make an open-source game from it, so people can add their own aliens in the universe. This game can be downloaded for free or an online type of game, and everybody can contribute and expand it. Then it will never be finished, always expand with new life-forms to discover.

In order for people to create their own type of alien, some sort of an 'alien creator' should be programmed, with endless choices of faces, eyes, noses, colors, textures, etc. Then it will be someone's personal alien, and he/she can communicate with other people/aliens.

This game can become a world-wide hype. I am just dreaming with you, but it can work..

Perhaps you should rename and alter it in some ways due to license issues.

It could also turn a brilliant remake into a shabby disaster.

Danny R and Reactor, thanks for your interest :)

Danny, it's exactely what i want to do, a never ending game with infinities of universes (each universe has a large number of hosted planets).

When you have the coordinates of a planet, you begin to talk with the alien but you don't know if the alien is an another player like you or an alien coming from the game !

It means that aliens coming from the game are helping you to solve the game (the big story), but can chat and talk with other players to exchange knowledge, coordinates of other hosted planets (the little story).

I dream of a kind of intergalactical facebook this alien avatars, places to talk :)


My remake of Captain Blood could be a mix of adventure game and social network to meet friends in a strange futurist world with strange avatars.

It is a great idea. But think about giving the player the possibility to create their own character. Here at ZBrush Central we are creative people, but normally very few folks on the web can make their own 3D content, so giving people control over the looks and characteristics of their own Alien could be a very attractive feature of your game.
I hope your plan works out, sounds very good.
-And don't forget to call Jean Michel Jarre for the soundtrack!

I received no help for my Captain Blood project...

I just need some nice great creatures/aliens models to use in my game.

I'm working with Philippe Ulrich and Didier Bouchon (the creators of Captain Blood in 1988), they are very excited about this new version of Captain Blood and want to help me.

If you are a good character designer and modeler, you can contribute to this crazy project ! Your name can appear in the credits of the game if you want.

I need free models, it's a non commercial project, if you have loved this game, it's time to help it rebirth 20 years after.

Very cool! I'm not the guy for the job, but I hope someone steps up.

Looks like you have everything you need then, best of luck.

Uh, bicc39, I think the idea is to get help with the art. Not the design.
