  7. The Kingdom of Kush: A proper introduction [Illustrated]

    in Official tasks

    Posted

    @feneur: thanks for tagging. I already was planning to do some kind of explaining but I wanted to get home first :) 

    I feel I should do a bit of explanation on the organizational side to lift some of the confusion around here.

    Spoiler

     

    (and also to answer 

     )

     

    The 0ADMods organization on Github is one and the same as the Council of Modders in this forum. The Council of Modders is a semi-open (there are some group PMs) group dedicated to (guess what) modding and it was formed by joining Rise of the East, Millennium A.D. and Aristeia together. It's a fairly loose and semi-unorganized team (hence 'Council') and it's moderated by the initial members (I happen to be one of them). The mod pages on ModDB are also managed by us.

    So, in short, 0ADMods is not a collection of all mods created for 0 A.D. nor is it an absolute necessity to have a repository in here to start modding 0 A.D. (though some kind of repository in general is nice for version control). If you want your project to become part of the Council (and release the mod under it's banner), that's possible though preferably I (personally) would like to see some kind of progress first (I've seen too many projects that start eager and never come even near a release) :) 

    @stanislas69: that's actually the same reason why I refrained from suggesting it up for merging with RotE so soon. Depending on our final decision for reworking RotE (a topic that's still under debate => it's likely to pass the votes but still...), it would fit nicely with the new theme (with more exotic factions). But I didn't want to act too quick and take my words back later because they turned out to be wrong :D 

     

    @Sundiata: it's not always entirely clear what colors their buildings were and often multiple archaeological discovery show different variations/types/ornaments/colors of buildings. That gives a bit of artistic freedom to do what looks best and building a color pallet is a good tool to find colors that match with each other

    It's much more fuzz and work if you have to maintain and release multiple mods (you know packaging, release announcements (and answering comments) and all that kind of stuff) 

    Dunno but all these faction are far away from the Mediterranean and lesser known by most people so the first thing that comes to mind is to do something with 'Discovery' (or a synonym) but that's maybe too standard/cheesy

    :( that name :( 

    Nice background!

    But I wonder if it wouldn't be a better idea to go for something more generic (with regards to the logo and name) so we can gracefully merge it with RotE and so we have the freedom to throw in some other exotic factions too in the future (dunno if that actually will happen but who knows...)

    Lol, it's indeed true that you land in America if you go far enough to the East :P We could do it but probably we need to make some thematical adjustments to the mod (you know, different main menu background, different mod name maybe, different logo) if we want to justify it's addition
