I will give you a veryvery short overview about the project, a lot more detailed information can be found on our site soon.
- it will be a RPG mod, once it reaches a good state we will provide an "official" server for it, but it will also be available here on TLR for download.
- the setting is completely independant from FL. we found that the existing FL universe has been overexploited by many servers, we want to have complete freedom in designing and shaping the universe. all with an eye on balance and longtime-playability and extendability.
- the mod or better call it total conversion will touch nearly all areas of modding, some in a similar way like the
Excelcia mod, my previous project, did. We have already many custom ships, many worked out concepts and designs for the mod - and a whole new universe - less but very well made and bigger systems as known from vanilla FL.
- we have a core team consistin of 4-6 modders right now, some of them are very experianced modders. (like me
)
however, we need more support, and this is why i post this thread here in this forum. this is where
YOU , yes, you the newbie modder comes in.
We intended to get some new faces for the project, train them for the required tasks, helping them to learn more about FL-modding (in exchange they make small parts of the project).
If they are willing, patient and dedicated then i can promise them to learn a LOT about FL modding in general, but also about designing huge FL projects like ours. They will touch many areas of modding, including some fancy things that will be unique to the place (i am, ... hmm.. known for weirdo ideas
)
you will get an insight of the workings of the "magic" inis, you can bring in your own ideas and shape a part of the universe we will create.
Why do i do this?
Reasons are pretty obvious. I have a big project, I want to get it done asap so i need more manpower, as my time is limited to 24 hours a day. I hope to catch some attention and popularity for the mod and project, so when its done we can form a nice RPG community and enjoy playing with our work.
Most experianced FL modders are already running some projects, so i am trying to build and tutor a team from scratch.
I have written quite some (and quite good imo) tutorials already and i tutored many modders of my team (and others) myself.
I already built a huge and successful mod (Excelcia). I learned from my mistakes back then and i want to make things even better. I enjoy tutoring people and see how they develop and see some new genuisses (spelling?) come up.
One reason (yeah i admit it) is kinda to bind new talents in one or another way to the project. if they see how we work, if they see and enjoy success then they are a lot more likely to stay with us, which is important in the long run.
With this post i would like to invite everyone who has:
- time
- patience
- dedication to a project
to our site and forums (opened soon for public, watch the news till then).
Be part of one of the best planned TCs ever made for FL - learn FL modding - enjoy your time with a nice team.
