ok here is the idea.
me and my mate have contacted kk and asked them to let us develope content for neocron for free. They dont have to pay us. they just have to teach us how to use the program that they use to create the game world. now we arent that great at making code, but then again the program that they use to create content is probably something like the program that is used to create jedi knight 2 and 3 stuff...or something like the elderscrolls: Oblvion tool. these programs DONT require a knowledge of coding.
We would create a sticky on the forums that is similar to the brainstorming post...we would create the content based upon you wishes ie-New lvling areas,offshore city,raillink from nc or th and mb etc,new woc items for woc 1,2,3,4 and 5, new woc imps and armour and weapons.
as we create the new content it would be put on a test server and reviewed by the players,it would be reworked after getting feedback from players. and then finnaly released on the live servers as new content patches.
now dont get me wrong. we wouldnt be able to create any new stuff that would require new code to be put in....we would only be able to create new landmass and buildings etc,and copy current in game items to create the new ones but under different names and with different stats. but we think this is better then no content at all.
imagine it..."while walking around the far east side of the wilderness you find a new building that wasnt there before, you go inside and are startled to see a monotrain sitting there with its doors open. you step inside and 10 seconds later the doors slam closed and the train zooms off at high speed. several moments later you arrive at a large offshore city that you had never heard of..you wonder what new adventures await you here"
We wouldnt be getting paid for doing this. we would sign any agreements/contracts that KK would require of us. and as we are unemployed we have nothing else to do.so all we would be doing is working on these projects.
just think of the things we could create with our imaginations.
i welcome your feedback.
