Hello FGD community!
I got contacted by the guy behind the seemingly defunct Unity (former BGE) Zombie FPS Necrosis about a possible indiegogo to release all the assets under an creative commons or public domain license. The background is that we helped him before with crowd-funding the release of these nice assets: http://freegamer.blogspot.com/2013/06/d ... ender.html
You can learn more about the Necrosis project here:

Quite honestly I am not sure if another "art-dump" like this will attract much interest though, especially if it is all geared towards Unity (or BGE which better as it makes exporting it easier, but the game engine itself is kind of on the way of becoming obsolete by now).
So I am trying to see if this couldn't be turned into something more, e.g. convince the guy to maybe make it a larger campaign for crowd-funding an open-source game/mod based on those assets and an existing open-source FPS game like Red Eclipse/Octaforge or Xonotic etc. (or maybe the Torque3D engine? The new Godot engine might also be interesting as BGE is scripted in python and the Godot engine has python compatible script, but I guess the game code would have be to rewritten anyways...).
The assets are really quite nice, and an open-source coop Zombie Shooter does not exist yet (although they start getting a bit old IMHO ).
So any ideas, or suggestions?
