This certain meeting is about organization stuff, we wouldn't discuss future contributions this time, or at least, it's not main topic - although it might come out - it's also first meeting so we must see how such event turns out. I will let you know when there will be open meeting on which we will discuss future contributions or content, but such open meetings will be better held on IRC I think, because on Wave we need each email separately and to IRC anyone can come in. Then people who are not listed as actual contributors (but want to be in future) will be welcomed to the open IRC meeting - on such meeting there will also be at least one developer (while on Wave we try to bring almost all developers). I think that we can arrange such event soon enough, so stay tunedpartymetroid wrote: I'm not in the Wave yet. Even though I haven't really made any tangible contributions, I think I would be more able to if I would be able to come to the meeting.
Yes- the designs and model are mine- I draw steam punk stuff all the time. Do you guys need specific content- do you have a list? I have a set of concept sketches that I'm working on that are specifically steam punk, and honestly anything that doesn't make it to final use for a specific project you are welcome to use and I would be willing to release it. If you have more specific needs for sprites or whatever i would be willing to help out assuming you have a style in mind or happen to like whatever comps I'm capable of.giniu wrote:Hi, we for sure would need some graphics - and it might be interesting - are those your sketches/models? Also - would such stuff be compatible with Creative Commons license? I don't know yet if we will need such bullet/bee, but we will need plenty of graphics so lots of different things might fit in
just as I just wrote, we are working on list - you can check few starting pages of documentation, especially the focus. There is short information about style we decided to go for - with some illustrations. For sure, concept illustrations will be needed. There is no such thing as too much weapon ideas for example - or some other devices. Some steampunk-looking trains or other transportation maybe? Stuff like that. I think that those are details (but important details) and that's why they can be integrated with most systems and stories - story usually does not describe certain weapon in much detail, unless it's important to it, but then there should be plenty of other weapons. Also - maybe some clothing - it's also thing that can always come in - I know people are working on stuff like that, but one more "look" of character is never bad. For preparing clothing, it might be interesting to prepare few dummy characters people will paint cloths on, so it looks like same character changing clothes. Hmm... what else might be needed - I don't know, probably other things require already some story written, so we might leave it for time when it's set - but you can always propose stuff - just open ticket on our github page, describe your contribution, attach files and apply label "contribution art" to it - we will look at it, and decide if it goes in straight, or needs some work. Oh, and remember that as far as concept arts go, we only need some common major style - it might - and will - differ in details. Depending on purpose and author of specific drawing. About sprites - I think it's too early. We are working on best specifications using prototypes approach. Currently it is enough that boxes move around. When we will decide on sprite specifications (what guarantees artists does not have to redo them by the way) we will open up for those too - for now it could be loss of time.solecize wrote: Yes- the designs and model are mine- I draw steam punk stuff all the time.
