Title pretty much says it all. Team Diaspora needs someone with good POF converting skills, as sadly the member who's been helping us with that lately apparently won't be able to anymore. This isn't a problem for R1 as we have all of the fancy fleet we need for it already converted, but may cause delays for R2 if we can't find a replacement soon enough. But, you might ask, you haven't even released R1 yet, what's your hurry? Well, R1 is pretty much done, art wise. Meaning the art department could get a jump start on R2 while the rest of the team is busy polishing what we do have. This isn't a huge problem for us yet, but I'd like to address it before it becomes one. Which is where you,
grasshopper, applicant, come in.
So, have you got what it takes? Basically, we need you to:
- know your way around PCS2
- have at least a rudimentary knowledge of 3ds Max (I can help here if it's a problem)
- be able to convert those utter pain-to-convert large ships with lots of turrets and stuff
(mostly means have lots of patience)
- be available when needed
This last point isn't all that strict - a converter won't have much to do most of the time, but when we do have something new we need in the game, it would be nice if we didn't have to wait for weeks or months to get it; this doesn't mean you'll be expected to get on it right the minute we tell you we need it so don't be afraid to apply. The team are generally nice guys. Except for me, but I'm like Col. Tigh - you'll like me anyway
What do you get in return? The cookies are a lie. But you do get a nice warm and fuzzy feeling that comes with helping us stay on track after R1. And a shiny badge, of course!
Please, don't post here unless you're going to apply - I'd like to keep this strictly on topic. If you have any questions please find us on our IRC (#diaspora on irc.esper.net) or send a PM to Kara, Ace or myself - someone's usually there to answer any questions you might have. Thank you all.
