Recruiting!
As always, we're looking for motivated individuals to join our development team. If interested, you will need to join the Discord server and head to the #dev-applications channel.
The following teams are recruiting:
Level Design Team - this team is responsible for creating and designing in-game "levels" and sceneries such as villages and battlefields. They will often work with outside references to accurately implement things such as native Japanese plants and real-life locations. You will be supported by your co-sceners and can expect tutorials and guidance from the team leader FoozleMcDoozle.
3D Art & Design - this team is responsible for creating 3D assets ranging from armours to sceneries to hairstyles. They will often work with historical references and the 3D Liaison team from the Historical Research Team to ensure that their models are as accurate as possible. Currently, we are accepting generalists and character artists. A key feature of this team is the regular work-togethers in the developer voice channels.
Howdy all! Before we get started, we’d like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support shown on our platforms (Moddb, Reddit, Discord etc.) over the past few weeks, especially after the last blog. It’s amazing to see how many people are just as excited as we are for the mod! Otherwise, here’s what we’ve got to show you so far.
Coding & Programming
While programming might not be so visually appealing, it’s still an essential part of the mod. Currently, the programming team is working on implementing the character creation process, which is being spearheaded by the Historical Research Team to give the player a wide range of backgrounds to choose from (all historically accurate!).
Level Design & Scenery
You may have seen the progress our Level Design team has been making with the campaign map; that isn’t the only thing they’ve been working on! Aside from the map, they’ve been working hard at creating some scenery using assets from the 3D team.
Recruiting!
