GUILD ARENA II: Project Recruitment

[Darkwing]

Yo, I'm Darkwing and I have been a map maker for over 5 years now. I'm opening sign up positions for my Guild Arena (further noted as GA) project. This is a sequel my previous project GA: the BattleChasers and it follows up where the story of the first sequel endend. The name of new GA will be the Broken Pact, (though I may still reconsider this untill the official release).
If you are familiar with Guild Arena then you already know about it's unique compound of creativness and design surpassing the title of "just some map/arena", rather an independent game. If you are not familiar with GA, I suggest watching our video and downloading the game and playing it to see what am I talking about:

- PROJECT -

If you've followed the the course of the first GA you know that of july this year I've stopped doing the project due to some obligations. That's when the the whole project started going downwards. I've lost all data about the project when my hard drive died (I have some fragments of older version), and then I had my own accident and was unable to do anything due the hospitalization. I've now started doing Jass and am doing all things from the scratch rather than continuing the work previous work. All the coding will be taken to the next level, as will be design of the gameplay, heroes, interface, our web communities and stuff like that. For these reasons i need YOU exactly.

Yo Druu long time no see, I remember you Classic Hero Arena it was a rather interesting map hehehehe!
I'm not quite sure which position are you signing up? Choose one and then we'll make a review of your application.
Don't misunderstand me but for the upcoming GA II, we need a quite pro terrainer who'll transfer my ideas into jawdrop enviroment, do you think you are up to that task?
How come you're not doing Jass if you are going into school for programming?

.VTZ

Yo man, well once the team is up and running we'll open some kind of GA: Creative Forum for player ideas, and then we'll review them, vote and hopefully get your ideas in the GA.
As for the Rook model, I saw that it's a nice model, but Mile Rizik is bulking up the Rook for the Guild Arena especialy with custom animations.
He advanced from a tester into General Modelar, however we are keeping our new models a secret I wan't to surprise you with some really AWESOME models.

 

[Druu]

It's my first session right now, I'm learning the basics, and with the basics I currently have I'm still having difficulties with Jass, I read one Jass script to check it out. I think I understand how they work, but I'm not used to the language and the words used.

I can be an idea factory and I can give you some great ideas for the sequel.

I'd like to have an idea of what your terrain should look like, which dimensions do you want it so I can start a draft of it.

Do you want to keep it light vs dark side like the first one?
Do you want that dragon lair ?
Need any special or specific area ?
