The Blood War (RPG)

The Blood War

(working title)

Introduction

The Blood War is a roleplaying game about the eternal struggle between the forces of Good and Evil.
This map will go into another direction than the traditional RPG map.
Traditionally, you get a group of 'regular' heroes doing 'regular' quests in a 'generic' world. None of that here.
Players will be involved in the events that take place in the different realms of the afterlife.

Features?

I'm not going to bore you with a long list of typical features. Every RPG has a save/load system, every rpg has tons of quests.
Boring. There's nothing new here, except that it's going to be awesome.

Positions

A lot of work has been done already on the area of triggering and system design. Now I'm mostly looking for content providers.

'Name'          'Task'
Sadalbari       Project Manager / Triggerer
Kevlamin        Units / Items

General Requirements

• Use World Edit Newgen (exception can be made for writers)
• Able to follow the design documents I've prepared
• Able to communicate
• Able to regularly update. It's only human to lose interest in a project, but at least tell me so I can look for a replacement.

Terrain Editor

• Create terrains that at least meet, and hopefully surpass my own terraining skills
• Create Destructibles & Doodads in the object editor
• Able to use both the cliff and the hill tool. Cliffs can look good if you know what you're doing.
• Achieve high detail with low doodad usage.
• Imports are allowed, but get the maximum out of standard models.

Spell Designer

• Spells must be multi-player compatible. Multi-unit spells are a bonus.
• vJass is prefered. Vexorian's XE library can be used as a base.
  Well, anything can be used as a base, but try to stick to 1 library. The codebase is large enough as it is already.
• Know when to use triggers and when to use abilities. No need to program a stun ability when Storm Bolt suffices

Object Editor(s)

• Item Editor: Able to create and balance items.
• Ability Editor: Able to create and balance abilities
• Unit Editor: Able to create and balance units. Preferably combined with ability editor

Writer

• Decent English writing skills
• Create workable lore (item descriptions, quests, flavour text, story)
• Base the lore off the concept work I've already done.
• Using World Edit Newgen to contributing directly to the map is not required, but it would be a good thing though.

Artists

Currently, art is not at a high priority. Loading screens or minimap can be done later.
If you're interested in making high quality models or icons you can still apply.

What I'm not looking for:

• Beta Testers
• System Designers
• Idea Creators (Anyone in the team can provide ideas)

0.o sounds interesting i could possibly make items/units. Although November 15/16 and 22 i have exams so I'm doing study as well and might not be reliable till after then.

Hi,

I'm currently pretty busy redesigning a couple of systems for the map so it may take at least a few days before I can share you a semi-useful map...

About your upcoming exams: Shall I wait until they're done?

 

[kevlamin]

I don't mind either way, whatever suits you best

 

[Sadalbari]

I really need someone to make terrains and lore...
