    • Need a Ng'anda Chroniclers Team!


      I'm in the middle of assembling a design team. StarBridge alone can't do it all.

      I already have a Music Director, and MAN are the sounds coming from his studio good!

      StarBridge is in charge of Starships, Weapons, and Outfits: that is, I tell him that "The Hawk Fighter can crush a wing of four Sabers like so many ricecakes with it's missile launchers, massdriver, and triple lasers!" and he translates that into actual game terms. You have your work cut out for you, lad. However, your sacrifice will not be in vain: I Ränk you Sir StarBridge, Head Starship Wrangler.

      WereFox is going to do the Ng'andan race's Starship Art. I just sent him the stuff. But I still need artists for the other factions.

      What I still need are:
      - Mission Programmers (people who know how to do the little fiddly bits with NCB'S, Chröns, and Ränks)
      - Story Consultants (I'm good at writing, good at big-picture scenarios, but I need support and to link the stories together)
      - Star System and Stellar Object Wrangler (I. HATE. STAR MAPPING.)
      - 3-D Artists (EVN quality work only - for inspiration, look for Onyx's Shipyard - that's what starships feel like in N'G C)
      - Interface Designers (I have some ideas, but I need help with this)
      - Font Designers (For the Ng'and'ana language, oi'am'tan'a trite (I have no doubt). It's right to left, looks weird, and I want to use it for some graphics.)

      I already did a lot of recruiting off of the Classified Ads topic on this forum, including nabbing StarBridge42 and Werefox (they're beautiful). I already have a schedule put together, to give applicants an idea of what sort of mess they're getting into - although most of the milestones on it are for me as the designer. Your rewards will be a job well done, your name in the credits, and a spöb and përs named after you in game. Oh, yes, and I put on my schedule that I'd spring for the strawberry margaritas. 😄

      Please respond if any of the above interest you.

    • What kind of support do you mean in Story Consultants?

      Edit: WHAT THE...? I could have sworn I posted what I meant. Oh well, here goes...

      By Story Consultant, I mean someone to bounce ideas off of, to come up with side mission threads with, and to help link the three plotlines together.

      praises and incentives

      First of all, good luck on finding someone to do the stay mapping.
      Secondly, drop me an email once the universe is made, the story-lines are all mapped out, the descs are all written and the various dudes, graphics, and stuff are made; and I'll do the missions.

      P.S. You said that anyone helping would get their own planet and dude, I think you meant planet and pers, a dude is just a group of ships that appears places, there's no real way to make it special for a person.

      Link storylines together? Do you mean that all storylines make sense to each other, no matter which you choose? Unlike the Feds and Rebels, where Frandall is in different positions depending which storyline you were.

      Actually he was the same position throughout, it's just that in the Rebel String he didn't show his true colours. He saw the Feds were losing so stuck with the Rebels, whereas in the Fed String he saw the Rebellion getting wooped and so stuck with the Feds. Basicly he was just in it for himself.

      Feds were losing? Can you tell me where in their storyline they say that? Or is that Dragon is superior, almost enough to mash a Carrier (as presented by Aldebaran fights, when the Carriers ALWAYS drop to armor.)

    • I think you are really brave trying to make a plug-in with a team that you don't fully know. How on earth will you link the team together. If you finish it don't forget to mail delta_v, I think they're all eager for news about it.

      Actually they were losing. Where do they say that? Oh just something about the Beuro (I know that's not how you spell it) is no more! Anyway they don't need to say it. You should know from playing games that just about any game the player's side always wins. And about those dragons, I've seen a carrier modification take down two destroyers and an Arrow before he died. But I think we should get back on track with the topic. Renyard is trying to get a decent team together, i'm sure he doesn't want us arguing over the Rebel storyline.

      Yes, sorry. :redface: I was just curious... If I dont have to make any side missions (that is, create the mission bits etc.), the idea of story consutant sounds interesting. I could sure make ideas! Even now, I am giving ideas for OpenEV (No, dont ask if you dont know. You dont want to make this offtopic again.).

      Okay, I'll bite - OpenEV? (ducks for cover :p) Actually, I do know what open EV is - please to be putting post recruiting for OpenEV, because it's cool, and worthy of aid.

      Allrighty then. "Story Consultant" is, indeed, coming up with ideas for missions, seperate from the mission programmer, who does fiddly bits with NCB's and chrons. Right now I need to come up with side missions and ways of getting into one of the main storylines - I have the other two done. Interested?

      How much work are these per day? One hour? I need to know how much work they are. Which main storyline do you not have done yet? Also, I would need to know the background to the galaxy to give ideas...

      Edit- wacky parts of posts will get wacky ansvers.
      /me runs after Renyard. I shout after him "How dare you make make off-topic comments!" I reach and shake him. "Dont do that again." 😛
