So You Want To Be A Game Developer?

[Kyp [LDEV]]

Feel free to send a PM and discuss, I'll get back with you as quick as I can.

Hello,

I sent you the mp 

here are some samples that can be used for engine, reactor, devices, i have about 30 of them, maybe more.

 

Regards

The other thread wasn't the right place to say it, but what I have is a C++ version of the server. I remember it being 2009 when I was playing and had the server source. But that was also long enough ago that who knows. Maybe I'm crazy. What I have is a full source code and DB copy. I could run an active multiplayer server (granted, nowhere near as complete as what yall have) right now. Well, if I felt like reinstalling visual studio. It's got tons of bugs, and doesn't stay up anywhere near as long as your current server.

 

This is not me bragging or being abrasive. I am simply laying out facts. You're one guy. You have a life. I'd hate having to support this game 24x7 too; I've been on-call a lot, I hated it. What was being offered, fundamentally, was yet another door people could knock on when you were off doing life stuff. Maybe I would be in a place to fix it while you were away. I get it, you get abused constantly. I was not being mean.

Don't worry, my feelings don't hurt easily. It was the tone of your post that prompted my response in the same tone. Given that we give no representation or requirement that we're up 'most of the time' such as a profit business might, 9 hours is not all that long. Probably wouldn't have been that long even if I'd seen it last night before running out of steam, but I didn't.

But for what it's worth I can tell from the code you've shared that it was the early version multiplay server shortly after we got it working. Most variables for stuff like single-player have been removed in the modern code.

Hello,
   Are you all still looking for developers? I have been a senior software engineer for 15 years and would love to lend a hand. EnB was a big part of my child hood and helping to build on it would be great! Please let me know if there is still help wanted.

You can message me to discuss skill sets as far as all of that goes. Please note that work keeps me busy, so sometimes a day or two to respond is normal.

That said, there's not a ton of technical changes to make at the present because we need more in the way of folks that can write content and missions and have the time to do it. All the technical changes at this point are almost universally driven by content developer ideas or the need for tools to implement those ideas.

[Dante Arawn]

Thank you for the feedback. I would love to contribute to creating content, if the devs can accept a newbie! I haven't had any experience on a non-technical side for development on an MMO, but I have been running a Dnd campaign for 15 years. I enjoy creating stories that get players to feel invested and part in a fictional world. I would love to have a more in depth conversation on how to contribute. 


- Thanks
