First off, for those of you who do now know what GTW is:
GTW stands for the Great Troll War Mod. The mod will have 8 totally new factions, 2 new campaigns, as well as fully functional (that's right, not just LAN) multiplayer and singleplayer.
The mod is not just, however, about new factions and campaigns. Rather, the mod will also introduce numerous combat systems (such as physics, accuracy, evasion, shield bonuses, backstab, the ability to crawl and much more!), a new resource system (goodbye gold mines and lumber, who needed them anyways?), and will also implement another revolutionary system (to be revealed at a later date), and hundreds of other seemingly minor tweaks to WCIII's gameplay. These will all essentially "modernize" WCIII (basically, by making it more realistic), and will massively increase the depth.
We now have a new class of GTW team members: freelancers.
What is a freelancer?
A freelancer is a new class that we've created. Freelancers are between consultants and core team members. Freelancers will be able to choose from a large list of things related to what they do. So, for instance, if you were a modeler, you would look at a large list of models that need to get done, and choose one you like. You'd then work on the model with what spare time you have. Freelancers will have long periods of time to complete their work (2-4 weeks), and they choose their work. Basically, what they want to do, when they want to do it.
Pros:
-Get to choose what to work on
-Get to choose when to work on
Cons:
-Listed as consultants (and will appear as such in the credits)
-Work likely to be edited by core team members
Freelancers may be called upon to perform specific tasks for the team (ones they do not choose), but a very generous amount of time will be given for such assignments. Freelancers also must still confine to the descriptions set forth for their work (but that's kind of a given anyways). Their work is also at a higher risk to be edited by core members (skins will always be edited by a core team member to ensure that each faction has its own specific style; basically, we have skinners who will be the "last word" for skins on their assigned faction).
We are currently looking for freelancers in the following categories:
Modeling, Skinning, Animating, Spell Creation, JASS, Terrain, and Art.
If you're interested, please send me an e-mail with a quality example of your work ([email protected]).
We're also still looking for some more core team Modelers, Skinners, Animators and JASSers.
Benefits of being on the core team include:
-Being listed as a team member (in the credits as well; for those of you doing this to try to make a name for yourself, this is definitely the way to go)
-Getting to work more closely with the mod, and having greater say in what happens with it
-Receiving a steady, but not overwhelming, flow of fun work
-Core team members will have the ability to, without permission from the creators (but they will need permission from me) edit anything created by freelancers
-Core team members will also get first choice of certain things
