Development Team Volunteer Positions

 

Texture Artists
 


The Tribal Wars project is looking for some additional help in the later stages of development. Tribal Wars is a total conversion modification for Enemy Territory Quake Wars. We're looking for some talented texture artists to help assemble a series of themed texture sets.

Tribal Wars is modeled around some of the elements of Starsiege Tribes. It features jetpacks, airborne combat and a CTF gametype. Most of the game takes place in exterior settings, but there are always small structures, and various architectural elements in each map.

The responsibilities for this position include developing some of the loose conceptual work for each texture sheet. Generating realistic diffuse/color maps, as well as the accompanying normal and specular sheets. Concept art, and project guidelines will be provided for each task.

 

For those who are interested, please contact the project manager at twarsmod@gmail.com

You MUST include samples of your own work (original material only, no re-colors or rehashes of other textures).

 

Script Programmers


 

The Tribal Wars project needs several capable script programmers to implement the remaining features required for the game to be deemed "feature complete". The majority of the features that are missing are controlled by low level scripts which are highly customizable, and very easy to work with. They read very much like C++ and follow a similar syntax in terms of the defining and calling of variables.

Ideally people who apply for this position should be highly motivated and are expected to do some level of research on their assignments without too much guidance. Previous experience with scripting for gaming applications is preferable, but not a requisite. Some established knowledge of a scripting language like java, C++, C#, torque script, or unreal script is required, and you may be asked to provide some small samples of your work.


 

For those who are interested, please contact the project manager at twarsmod@gmail.com
 

You may be asked general questions about previous employment, mod projects, or asked to provide samples of your work.

Level Designers


 

The Tribal Wars project is looking for a few level designers to finish some of the BSP geometry needed for the structures. Most of the work that remains is secondary BSP work that's needed to give the interior of the bases a more finished look, and some small visual elements need to be created for the exterior as well.


 

Applicants should have thorough knowledge of level design, and must have some level of experience working with another BSP editor (radiant, worldcraft, UnrealEd). Examples of previous maps, and structures is required. Some level of 3d modeling experience is highly preferred but not necessary.

You may be asked to provide samples of your previous work, or map designs.
