- Now that I have your attention - I am looking for a terrainer to help me finish the map. I have sourced and modified the terrain models myself, I just need someone to help me cover this gargantuan map. I am not opposed to taking on a full co-developer but I think your primary interest should be terrain or we won't get anything done
- Message me on discord maddeem#4407 if interested
