[HIRING] Building a Hyper-Realistic 1996 Tornado Chasing Game – Need Experienced Scripter + Builder (Revshare)

🌪️ What the Game Is

A detailed, atmospheric tornado-chasing simulation set in May 1996, built around realism, immersion, and exploration.

Features planned:

🌩 Tornado & Storm System (1996-style weather science) • Slow-burn supercell development: storms take 1–3 in-game hours to form • Realistic wall cloud, RFD, inflow, storm structure • Tornadoes lasting longer than real-life, but still realistic • Multi-vortex, wedge, stovepipe, rope-out transitions • Tornado intensity based on 1990s technology (F-scale not EF-scale) • Damage survey system (official vs. unofficial ratings)

🗺 30×30 mile map with 6 fully fictional counties • Inspired by central & eastern Oklahoma terrain • Plains, low rolling hills, forested patches, creek beds • Small towns, rural farming communities, and one large metro • 1990s road signage, gas stations, traffic lights, neighborhoods • No modern buildings, no smartphones, no modern tech

🏙 Cities & Towns • One main metro area (inspired by OKC/Moore/Norman) • A secondary city to the west (El Reno-style) • 4 additional towns (3k–12k population equivalent) • 6 small villages & unincorporated communities • Rail lines, water towers, industrial zones, 90s suburbs

🚗 1990s Storm Chasing Technology • Paper atlas/map system (no GPS) • Upgradable car-mounted weather radar (90s WSR-88D look) • 1990s vehicles (SUVs, sedans, pickup trucks) • Realistic vehicle physics: mud, gravel, dirt road traction • Custom 1990s-style probe units • A fictional TIV predecessor vehicle (1996 technology)

🌫 Atmosphere & Vibe • 1990s-style camcorder filter when recording storms • Slight fog/haze to make distances feel larger • Subtle film grain + warmer color grading • Weather radio broadcasts with 90s tones • Radio chatter, scanner sounds, NOAA beeps

🎥 Game Philosophy • No pay-to-win. • Aimed at weather nerds, storm enthusiasts, and players who want a simulation-style experience. • Realistic pacing: some days little action, other days severe weather outbreaks.

🔧 What I’ve Already Completed / Planned • Map layout and county borders • Lore: a 1946 “F-U” tornado mystery survivors still talk about • City planning + road network concepts • 1996 vehicle list • Storm mechanics design document • Radar UI concept • Paper map design

You’ll be joining a serious, long-term, well-prepared project.

👥 Who I’m Hiring

🎮 1. Scripter (High Priority)

Must know: • Roblox Lua (advanced) • Atmospheric effects • Weather logic (or willing to learn) • UI systems (radar, maps) • Optimization for large maps • Vehicle tuning

Work you’ll do: • Tornado & storm system • Radar + paper map systems • Vehicle physics & sensors • In-game day/night logic • Damage system (trees, houses, poles)

🧱 2. Builder / Environment Artist

Must be comfortable with: • Town layout • 90s architecture • Realistic road networks • Neighborhoods, rural farmland, creeks • Low-poly but detailed building style • Terrain sculpting & blending

Work you’ll do: • Suburbs, towns, downtown blocks • Intersections, highways, ramps • Farms & rural road networks • Landmarks, water towers, industrial zones

⸻

💰 Payment / Revshare

I’m offering profit share because I want a small, dedicated team:

Up to 25% each depending on role + contribution • Scripter: 25% • Builder: 25%

If additional developers join later, percentages will adjust but not decrease yours.

🔥 Why You Should Join • One of the only true 1990s storm chasing sims on Roblox • Huge creative freedom • Aiming at a niche community that cares deeply • No gimmicks, no microtransaction garbage • A chance to help build something iconic and atmospheric

If Twisted is the “big” game, this aims to be the “cult classic.”
