as some of you might know, the Illarion staff is currently working on an update to Illarion. Technically, this project is growing and prospering, only few obstacles have to be overcome.
What has fallen behind is the development of game content. What do we define as game content?
- Maps (dungeons etc.)
- NPCs
- Quests
- Books
- Tales, history and characteristics of the game world
How can you help? Dialogues have to be written, maps drawn and effects described. Even if you are not yet familiar with any kind of scripting, you can provide detailed concepts for quests or fill in / translate dialogues of existing NPCs. Good teamwork is essentially; if a new NPC is created, a connection to the work of others (maps, monsters, books, stories) is mandatory.
We're actually not looking for persons who can write down their fundamental ideas about Illarion on paper. We are looking for persons who introduce such fundamental ideas into the game, to make Illarion a living world where a NPC at least knows about e.g. the gods. We are not looking for persons who want to discuss about every tiny bit of background material. We are looking for persons who create game content on their own and implement common ideas. We are not looking for fancy new features for the game. We look for applications of all the features we have.
If you think you can help in this, are motivated to help Illarion actively and autonomously, are willingly to learn how to edit scripts and create NPCs with the simple scripting language and when you are creative and get things done, please, contact any developer or gamemaster.
Also, keep in mind the drawbacks of working for Illarion:
- No money
- You have to invest a lot of time, several hours a week, or you get nothing done
- You get informations about the game that might spoil your fun as player
- You will have to subdue yourself under the vision of a staff that might have other ideas for the game than you
- And most importantly, you will know about all the content of the update long before it is released. Because YOU created it
