Project 2 Recruitment

[Faille]

We've penciled in August as the start date for Project 2. To that end, we're asking for people to sign up who are interested in participating. This applies to people who have already signed up, and indeed even people who have been working on project 1.

The minimum time commitment we want is 3 days a week of 3 to 4 hours each. We're fairly flexible on this, as long as people are regularly showing up and completing their tasks.

When signing up you need to look over this list
Roles - UberWorlds Development Wiki

And indicate which of these roles you are interested in doing, and at what proficiency level, Beginner, intermediate, advanced. If there's a role I've missed, let me know and I'll add it to the list.

Beginner is if you have an interest in an area and want to learn it but have no current knowledge.

Intermediate is if you have done the role before or have some knowledge of the tools that will be used.

Advanced is if you have done the role or used the tools professionally.

Make sure you only sign up if you are willing to put in the time. we don't mind if people are not super experienced at using the tools, or if they need to take breaks. What we do hate is people being assigned tasks and then disappearing without finishing them or letting us know so we can get other people to do it. Doing this will probably result in you being kicked off the project, and in a fit of rage, probably having your uberguilds account deleted. So if you think you might be prone to doing this, don't sign up 8)

Also, I should stress, only sign up for roles you are interested in doing, and not all the ones you can do. This will form the list that we will be using to assign tasks. If you sign up to be a concept artists, you will be asked to draw!

I'll return again for P2 of course. But you know I want a longer dev time for whatever I take on so I can please the wikigods.

I'll also pitch in with brain/req on server stuff. But I really never see that being a issue for a long long time. There is obviously no way I'll be able to do all of the stuff on the list fulltime, but I'll pick up whats needed for P2.

I'll be able to assist in writing background lore/quests again too. Beginner I suppose?

(All advanced)

Fairly skilled in all aspects of conceptual design, I haven't really bothered around with Python yet but I'm sure I can pick it up pretty quickly and I'll be able to start designing different things for the game as I have some general programming knowledge.

When I get a little bit of free time (probably within the next few days) I'm gonna get this set up and create some spells or something

Hi,

I am a friend of Kollos and he speaks very positive about this project. Now I am interested in joining you

I can only bring in one advanced knowledge: QA (worked in a 40 people QA for 3 years).
However, I prefer the design/gameplay sector.

Gameplay Design - Beginner/Intermediate (I have played almost every game since 1993, worked for a game developer, created an archive of gameplay ideas over the years)
Zone Design - Intermediate (I was gamemaster for pen&papers for many years and created many detailed campaigns ^^)
Encounter Design - Beginner (pen&paper know-how)
Class Design - Beginner
Lore - Intermediate (pen&paper know-how, wrote some shortstories etc.)
QA - Advanced (worked in a professional QA for 3 years, participated in many online betas)

Why project 2? I cannot see anymore high fantasy. And I think a mmo in a modern world can be much more diversified and more realistic in terms of implemenation (horse vs car, gun vs sword).

If I meet your requirements and if you need some more people let me know.
Sorry for the spam

Greetings,
Zille
