Hello! I thought I'd offer to help out. I'm a video editor & Web Developer that absolutely loves this game and would be happy to help out.

(Then you don't need to send in an application form.) Maybe in the future but not right now Name: Sean McManus Email: mcmanussean@gmail.com Location: Boston Massachusetts Availability: It will vary but a few hours a week I think should work Age:(Optional) 39 Occupation: [(Optional) Software Engineer / Web Developer Skills and Experience: I'm a web developer / software engineer / video editor professionally with over 18 years of experience Motivation: I love this stuff. Personality: Creative, intelligent, easy to get along with occasionally funny. Short Essay: I absolutely loved loved loved age of empires.. for many many years and then life sort of got in the way and I was distracted by other things. the last year or so I've been wanting to get back into it but I have a modern mac and haven't been able to get it running without hacking too much. I also wanted to find a more modern version of it that could make the gaming experience more exciting / challenging. I looked for months and months watching loads of youtube game reviews and googling for days. It was incredibly frustrating. I would have paid just about anything to get a game like this. Somehow on some random forum (don't remember where) someone mentioned 0AD and I was like WHAAAAAATTTT??? I did a bunch of research and was shocked that this awesome game was there all along and wasn't able to find it despite searching for so long. I would like to help bring more awareness to this amazing project / game and I have a skillset that I think / hope would help. Interests and Hobbies: I'm an huge sailor, spent most of my 20s teaching sailing in Santa Barbara California (it was amazing) I'm also a musician I've recorded two albums under my name ("elevated" and "a new world again") they aren't great so I'm hoping to start recording again under a new moniker. I'm also big into photography and film making. Staff:(Optional) nope Community:(Optional) none Favorite Game: Oad is my current favorite. Age of Empires is my favorite of all time Work Examples: you can check out my linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mcmanussean/

Well... I didn't play 0Ad for months.... I don't know why, yesterday I decided to play online again to this amazing game. I discovered there are some new issues with the server. For some reasons, I can host, and join some games, but not all games. Well, let say, I can join 50% of the availables multiplayer games... (after spending 2 hours trying to solve the issue). Yesterday, I wait for one hour to find a game in the hall... And today, I simply decided... to resign.... Again after one hour waiting. Here is my adventure, despite the issue with the connexion.... Every time I want to participate a game, people told me I have no level.... I spent one hour yesterday and one hour today with these comments. I don't know how people can say that about me without knowing me, I am playing this game since 2014, but this is not the topic... There are about 10 players online waiting for a game, and open games for 20 players.... This is strange, why not complete the opened games before? I don't know how it is possible to attract new players if new players can't play multiplayer games... Well, sorry to say that, but I'll have a new test in months. to my friends, I'll tell it is not yet a good multiplayer game, as you need to know to community to have a chance to play online. I'll definitely hope some attitudes will change as this game is really really good. I worked in videogames 10 years ago, and what I have to say is this is a excellent game.

Hello and thank you for your application. I'm pinging a few people @implodedok @Itms @BrynnOfCastlegate so you can get more feedback on what you can do with us. In order (Web and Sys Admin), (Project Leader), and (Lead Video Artist) If you know how to compile in Mac your help would be precious to test the next release candidates. We don't have much video editing to do right now (Though showcasing art commits when they occur might be nice) so It will be a bit empty for some time, but we need some help on the web design field, so I'll let you talk directly with Implodedok in that area. Hope you'll enjoy your time here with us on the forums, and do not hesitate to drop by IRC. (We are mostly in Europe, so we might have delayed conversations)

Hey @camelator Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with the multiplayer lobby. If you have friends that might be interested by the game, you might want to play with them. Unfortunately we can't monitor everything that happens in the lobby, we simply do not have the manpower for this. To answer your question to attract new players we need more people sharing the game, even though it's in alpha and some people in multiplayer are idiots. We also need more developers to improve things in the game. Since you were in the video game industry 10 years ago maybe you would like to contribute code ?

Another one coming:

Any way you can use the new Seleucid Sails ? How many polygons do you have in those models, they look really great !

Puedo ver las texturas Alexander? Quiero ver que puedo hacer. -talking about textures with alex--

I love your profile picture

Sure. It's mostly about that Captcha being google though. People in the open source community will hate anything that's proprietary. And we need to those guys' code

You could just make a high poly plane add a wind effect and use the cloth modifier I can probably dig an old blend file where I did that for flags. Then apply the modifier and bake ao then just multiply it on whatever texture.
