fireprog Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 More developers is what this project really needs the most atm, right? Why not make a post in the Sourceforge "Help Wanted" forum? Seems to be fairly active... http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/helpwanted/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I agree, I encourage team members involved in programming to take up this task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Why not make a post in the Sourceforge "Help Wanted" forum? Seems to be fairly active...Thanks for flagging fireprog We discussed this internally at the end of 2012 but the discussion went quiet while we were getting ready to release Alpha 12. Also discussed was a help wanted page for our website, which i still think is a good idea so I'll raise it again with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 yeah, all implement in Alpha 12 was in Art depatment, Programming must be have double and even triple Members, the Features to implement are many and very complex, bug rise with each Alpha, improvements its a long path to a little Staff.

fireprog Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks for flagging fireprog We discussed this internally at the end of 2012 but the discussion went quiet while we were getting ready to release Alpha 12. Also discussed was a help wanted page for our website, which i still think is a good idea so I'll raise it again with the team.No problem, I got a newsletter today from Sourceforge, mentioning this forum, thought it was applicable to 0AD since I've read several times that you needed more programmers. This was the least I could do since I'm not really a programmer myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Even they will a Official Team members, can be help to finish some Task, and fixed some Bugs.That Backlog grown every day, think about this, and more contributors can attracts more players.

I don't think she has experience in game programming but she might be able to help anyways. She has a Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_L._PattersonIf there are any specific issues that you're having trouble with, I could always ask if she knows how to fix it. I know her in real life so I just have to ask her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoot Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 zoot you are an Example of the Programmers that Help without be a Team Member.Ad-hoc contributors are standard in open source projects. Though there are not quite as many in this one as I think it could sustain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) We need fix the weakness areas in Game development, The performance, New planned Features And improvements. the bugs and minors in second.Compare Alpha 10 & 11 with Alpha 12 in Features(gameplay, especially planned Features & Optimization ) disscard (not Art & Sound, others).______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________We need out of Forums and Official chat to attracts more contributors. more Opensorces Social media platforms i agree totally with Fireprog.weed need more same FEXOR and Zoot. even the guy make wall system left the forums.

idanwin Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think we need a site were people can upload their contributions (maps, scenarios and mods).We could do a screenshot contest (every month, every two months?)I'm quite sure that the addition of triggers will attract some contributors.Weekly/Monthly updates with new maps, models, concept art ... anything that looks good. There hasn't been an update since 23 december! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
