Position: Really any position that will use any skill I possess to benefit the development of the game

Do you understand that Wildfire Games is a non-commercial project, work for 0 A.D. is volunteer, and work is done for free? Yes

Are you sure you are not wanting to work on something programming related? (Then you don't need to send in an application form.) Yes

Name: Tee

Email:

Location: US West Coast

Availability: Approximately 8

Age:

Occupation:

Skills and Experience: Have some skills with design software, but also know some programming and HTML/Javascript/PHP/Python which may be useful for the site, but maybe for the game also?

Motivation: New developer looking to get into the development world, even if I start from other angles.

Personality: Friendly, sociable and passionate for learning new things

Short Essay: Just recently found out about 0 A.D. a couple months ago. Was looking for an alternative to AOE, and found this. Of course, I began to read as much as possible on the game and found the option of contributing to the game. I really feel grateful that people can open up to free, open-source alternatives and offer everyone the experience equally.

Interests and Hobbies: I love to learn programming. I'm also fluent in Spanish. I have taken several courses for programming and design (mostly web), but also work with python. Never worked in a professional setting and feel this is a good start.

Staff: No, unfortunately

Community: This is the first community I take part in

Favorite Game: 0 A.D. currently, but Street-Fighter 2 for SNES maybe tops it just due to the simplicity and nostalgia. Yes, Street-Fighter 2. Yes, Super Nintendo.

Hey @Tee

Welcome to the forums & thanks for the application  

I'm not quite sure where you want to contribute, could you clarify it for me. Your application title says design, and you say you don't want to do programming, yet all your skills seems to be in the programming area.

Yes, my mistake. Really anywhere I can be useful. I have some skills in web development and design. I wasn't quite sure how those web development skills can be applied to the actual game itself so I didn't know the best answer for it, but if it somehow falls within range, I'm open to it. However, I would be willing to donate my time to any tasks that are needed regardless if it's programming or not. I can also do Spanish translation if that's needed.

Regarding translations, you can go ahead and help with the spanish translation of the game on Transifex.

Regarding programming, if you know web technologies, mostly JavaScript, you can contribute to half the codebase, and a little 1% with python as most of our scripts are made with this.
