Recommended Posts

About Ken Wood, Jason Bishop and Stuart, a mod team becomes a developer team first leaders, the main vision of game, early idea, about the creation of Pyrogenesis, the contact with mythos ruler , Heaven game relationship recruiting modders, first years of 0 AD.

@feneur can you give old material interviews , about little biography of early founders.

the history of Ken Wood is very interesting, I read some of their opinion and had very strong vision where the game would be or was.

 

the people have in main a group of guys , modders that decided start a game but nobody know why are more that 15 years of development.

I want tell the history in my 0AD blog.

Contributing without being a team member was possible since 0AD went open-source (since 2009?)  in approx. 2012-2013 art department became "open" so art team members started posting WIPs and projects on the public thread before stuff was finished. Also the art task thread was started around those dates too. This made the "applications and contributions" topics more or less obsolete. For the Art department, Myconid contributions were essential allowing to raise the graphics bar much higher with the implementation of AO, normal/parallax and specular maps as well as post-processing filters like fog, bloom/HDR, and DOF.

Article about the process of choosing to use a 3D engine instead going with a 2D one.

@Itms, @feneur, it seems quite bad to not have that on our own pages. If archive.org decides to stop their service, history would be lost :-S

We need to do something, maybe especially in the lights of the upcoming release.
