Dev's index

Since last summer I started writing quests for this awesome game but as nobody's paid and it's a really huge work to create a quest from the beginning to the end it's often hard to create a project (quest etc) and finish it.
Second point, people aren't often good at every aspect of new content creating. Some like to write and others like to create maps and tiles.

Creating an index where each dev would add his pseudo and his domain (pixel art, writing, creating maps, coding new stuff etc) would help a lot.

Maybe even adding a work-in-progress topic where devs would add the new content they're are working on (name, type (quest/item/map/dungeon), a short summary and what they're needing (a new monster /tile/ condition/ mechanics). This would really help the communication between the devs and would ease the creation of work groups and of new content.

This is not about a topic where you can post the ideas you would like to see implemented in the game but a topic where you may present the ideas you're developing.

(Oh and ps, it should be a sticky so it won't disappear if no new project is submitted.)

We have 2 whole sections for developers. Developers is for general discussion and hashing out ideas and such.
The other section, Development Corner is for things like you are suggesting and to update other devs on progress.
In order to keep that area clean and free of off topic posts you can't even post in unless you request to be a developer.

I should add a sticky to the Development Corner explaining that.

Maybe this topic is in the wrong section but anyway, the main idea is to create a directory where you can find the active devs and what they're working on. It could help the communication between devs and speed up the development of content.

ps: could you add me to the Devs so I can access the Development Corner section?
pps: and if you agree to this idea, should I create this topic in Development Corner or in Developers?

Great suggestion!

This is something that should be added to the Dev Corner so the DEV team also.

Pyrizzle:

Skill set: Quest dialog, Item creation, Skill Creation, Map Layout designer, etc

Any help needed just ask anytime. =)
