Anyone want to help make some Magic?
« on: February 01, 2010, 06:54:20 pm »

Yogoda and I are asking for some help with our mod, Magic of Aquaria. There's info on page two about our mod. theBear will be able to help some, but we would like a bigger team if possible so we don't end up taking as long as Alec and Derek spent on Aquaria! There are two areas in which we need help:

1. Scripting. Yogoda is doing the bosses, but we could use other help on minor entities and adding dialogue to cutscenes, etc.

2. Fun stuff: Sindhi has a lot of treasures and so on scattered in various caves, and she thinks it would be fun to have puzzles in order for Naija to get to the treasures. Maybe not as hard as Simon Says.
PM us if you want to play!

Nobody ?  :(

Here is the thread about the mod :
http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=1893.0

I have a full time job, so I have like 2-3 hours a day to work on the mod, and I'm really not able to do much a day as scripting takes a lot of time. Sometimes it is so frustrating I really hope I was unemployed lol. Also I cannot use ALL my free time to do this, or I burn-out (love playing video games from time to time too)

I take care of all the complex programming, entities, bosses, special behaviors. What takes most of my time and that could be done by someone else is all the maintenance job, adjusting things here and there, fixing bugs, testing, difficulty balancing, making dialogs and so on.

If we get no help, that's ok, it just will take a lot of time to finish. I can estimate we are 50%-60% done and will need at least 6 more months.

I might try to standalone the game. Have you checked out the new builds?

I am a doofus when it comes to programming, lua scripts, etc.; Yogoda is the software engineer and he has promised to run the server for Minecraft until April, but I will pass along your offer. That would be great!

PM is for "Personal Message"; you click on my name under the avatar pic and it takes you to my profile. Then you click on "Send this person a personal message", and I get it in my e-mail instead of on the forum.  It's for when you want to go into details that don't involve everyone's general interest.
