Hello,
I'm looking for a project to contribute to for the next 4 months (possibly more) and thought perhaps Ryzom could use my help.
Position: Interface/Interaction designer (and Marketing)
Name: Iwan Gabovitch
Email/GTalk: [email protected]
Location: Berlin, Germany (GMT+1)
Availability: 14 hours/week for the next 4 months for a start.
Age: 23
Occupation: Half-time student with half-time job
Interaction design Skills and Experience:
I'm attending Interaction design and Marketing classes in course of Game/Interaction Design at HTW Berlin. I know how to use game/level editors (specifically RPGMaker2K, StarCraft1, WarCraft3, Sauerbraten) and I made small games in Lua/LÖVE (see my visual portfolio http://qubodup.net/portfolio/ ). I customized wiki/forum/blog systems for http://forum.freegamedev.net/ , http://blog.parpg.net/ , http://radakan.net/ (site currently broken) and http://dungeonhack.sourceforge.net .
Community/marketing Skills and Experience:
FreeGamer blogger http://freegamer.blogspot.com/ , moderator on http://opengameart.org/ and http://forum.freegamedev.net/ .
Motivation:
I want to be part of a game dev team, as an addition to the university courses I am taking.
I love making games more accessible and complete by tweaking a specific feature of it.
Short:
I would like to be part of the team and help to improve a few interaction aspects of the game (for example tutorials, controls, gui layout). I'm not afraid of (Python) scripting. I would also like to help with marketing (writing blog posts for example).
I have written a longer, more general 'application' https://docs0.google.com/document/d/118z32B4aKBFJFzxYyCiB1NHV9_vs5MLnpn2wAyNQER4/edit?hl=en&authkey=CJbrrukC# .
Seeing that Ryzom is a mature project, I assume that there are people who work on interfaces and tutorials. Perhaps I could enter as an assistant to this part of the team?
