 Sun and Shadows
Thu Jan 27th, 2005
The gaming group, Sun and Shadows, were originally a bunch of StarSiege players who got together to work on fanfics and other stuff. In fact, two of their members are responsible for the Devastation Arch featured here at tJY. However, over the years, they've evolved to cover a wide variety of other games and they're currently looking for new help. Check below:
For those of you that don't know, Sun & Shadows is a website by gamers, for gamers which provides support for several games to an intimate community of players. We started out as a site specific to the Starsiege community, but have expanded and are continuing to grow and expand our available services. As part of our tasks lined up for completion in the New Year, we have set a long list of priorities for ourselves. This list of priorities includes everything from producing skins, maps and customization options for players, to wikis for the community members, to producing MODs of games this community knows and loves.
Now, we are quite dedicated to doing all of these things and more, but this requires a truly huge, concerted effort. We believe that everything we have planned will be cool, fun and helpful both to new players and people who have been around this community a long time - and we want to make it happen. In order to do this however, we also need manpower. Anyone who is interested in making contributions to the Starsiege community at large in any way, shape or form is encouraged to get in touch with S&S reps and do whatever interests you.
To give you some idea of what we need people to do, I have a short list of things which we need which are absolutely vital:
-Any skills that are Starsiege related, including mapping, modding, skinning, Zed design, coding, etc.
-Any skills related to Tribes: Vengeance / UT2004, including mapping, modding, skinning, coding, animating, etc.
-Starcraft players and mappers with their own custom maps, we will host them.
-People who know Wiki! We're planning extensive Wiki support for the S&S website and other community resource centers linked to S&S, such as the Ghosts site, TA, Elementals etc.
-Anyone with PhP-Nuke skills is always welcome to help us improve our existing website's format!
-Squads which want a firm base of support and contact, we still host Squad websites and will be happy to accomodate you if you are going to be playing in the upcoming 2845 ATR or another game that our community supports!
-Anyone with skills in Flash, again help is needed in this department.
-Starsiege fiction writers! We really always love having help archiving and creating new Starsiege fanfiction! We maintain a large database of "unofficial" fiction stories which we are always looking to expand upon. Squad history fiction and timelines also welcome. We also maintain a separate timeline for an "alternate" Starsiege universe, if you are interested in working your squad into the Ghosts' series of fiction as well.
-Last but by far not least, we need artists. If you enjoy art and like drawing or creating 3D models of hercs, vehicles, landscapes etc. we would really love to have your help. In several planned upcoming projects, the Ghosts and S&S community is searching for more artistic talent in bringing ideas to life. There's also a strong possibility that any art assests which we deem to be of particularly good quality may eventually be represented in MODs of Starsiege or Starsiege 2845.
Well, there you have it. Anyone who fits these criteria and enjoys such work, S&S is out there and could desperately use a hand. Please be advised that, as with anything for the community by the community, there is no pay involved. We do this purely for fun and to help players enjoy their online supporting experience more. I hope that some of you feel inclined to volunteer yourselves for this. I'll also answer any questions you might have about our plans or what we're doing in this thread as well, if there are any. Happy gaming folks!
