Arcanum mod on a new engine.

Howdy folks, I'm posting here because I'm seeing how much interest there would be in an Arcanum modification on a newer game engine, notably the Valve Source engine.

I know I'll catch hell for suggesting an FPS, but my aim isn't to reproduce Arcanum, or make a sequel for that matter; I want to tell another story that happens to take place in the Arcanum universe, with much emphasis on trying to recreate the setting with as much authenticity as possible. I'm a real sucker for immersion, so that's one of my big aims.

My talents don't go far past mapping - although realistically that always has been enough for a single player adventure, be it based on the Half-Life engine, or now, on the newer Source engine. I can produce my own textures if need be, and I've already started a little work on potential locales. I'm not posting this as a recruitment pitch, although if a modeler were to respond, it would save me a few headaches. My goal with this project is to keep it simple, to hopefully build a nice, engaging single player adventure. And my goal in posting here is to see whether there would be any interest generated in such a project.

So, my question really is - would it be worth my effort? Would any of you folks be interested?

 

I would if I knew what to do. But I don't.

 

Sorry for not clarifying - I didn't mean would you be interested in helping out; I meant would you be interested in playing it?

 

....

I would play.

 

I would certainly play it. Good luck man.

 

I'll play it too!!

 

I won't play it, I'm afraid of FPSs with monsters.
