Guest Azrael Strife Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 IMHO we should have at least two speakers of a certain language before initiating translations, there will always be something that you will overlook... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruivo Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 So, why don't you write some contributions to active texts and PM them to me and we'll see if you can't help us out with the english-language CTs at the moment? Sounds good, i'll do some reading on the active texts, and if any idea pops out i'll pm it. Any opinion on where should i start reading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good, i'll do some reading on the active texts, and if any idea pops out i'll pm it. Any opinion on where should i start reading? Well, have a look at the active texts. To get a feeling for Xenocide, a look at the "warehouse" is always a good idea. Check out the hotlist and post some ideas to the top priorty texts, there you can be sure to get feedback soon.

tzuchan Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Can't we at least bump Ruvio to recruit status? That was part of the original recruiting process any way. He would then have post access to the workshops and read access to the warehouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadBeholder Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hey, Have been reading over the project after an earlier fit of nostalgia and would love to be involved in the project. Especially in the CTD I am an avid sci-fi reader and gamer with a degree in electrical engineeringI would love to work on writing tech descriptions, thinking up future tech, and anything else that needs doing. off the top of my head writing sample Alien: XYJ First Encountered in early waves of invaders, Alien XYJ has been designated as a Class 1 Grunt. Slow to think and adapt, the XYJ are given basic training in weapons and a heavily conditioned violent nature. Alien XJY are often brought by invader ships and herded into combat situations that require only the barest of intellectual capacity.

kafros Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Send it to Mad, he is the Creative Department Senior Don't forget to include a piece of your work with the PM. In addition, are you REALLY sure that you want to apply? Do you have the needed mood and spare time to work on texts and provide new ideas and better drafts?

Im full of ideas when it comes to writing, im even writing a book right now but i would like to help with the xenocide project texts if possible.

socratesmcgonagal Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm trying hard to contain my exitement over a modern version of the Xcom classics. I wasted many happy hours playing that old diamond. If I can contribute to the quality (and release date) of this game in any way I'd be more than happy to.I'm very well cut out for the creative writing department. I'm a big sci-fi fan with an exellent technical knowledge and I know how to knock out some enjoyable to read paragraphs.I'm also a graduate in zoology and would love to work on alien biology, background and design. But I'm sure I could also contribute some excellent work to storyline, weapon and craft description, reports, messages and all the rest.I hope you can find some work for me to do.I may be Earths only hope!

Guest Rebonak Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi. I'm reapplying for a spot as text writer. I used to haunt these forums as Warhamster several years ago. I actually did an attempt to do the article for the interceptor but was unable to continue due to work. Well, I'm back and would like to help write out some texts if you still need the help. So throw me a line on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafros Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Indeed , most texts are completed and there are a dozen or so still active (requiring some "finishing up" ). Feel free to join and work on whichever you prefer ^^, I'll try to help whenever I find some free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HapexIndustries Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I am very interested in contributing to the creative text for Project Xenocide. I realize that I may be months (or years) too late, but I would certainly love to help in anyway, even if only to proofread already written text. I have already written a short submission article (three entries in the old XCOM Ufopaedia style), and would gladly submit my application at any time. I hope that I am able to help. XCOM is one of the most important games ever made and played a prominent part in my developmental years. I am glad to see that this project is apparently nearing completion, and would like nothing more than to offer my services. I look forward to (hopefully) hearing from an Admin.

[Mad] Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Hi! Well everyone can help - applications via PM to me. What will be your job? Most Texts are already completed or at least close to completion. Your job will be to :proofreadcheck for consistency errorsensure that the text matches the style used in the other entriesrewrite if and where necessaryproofread again and againpost your resultincorporate comments from your fellow writersproofreadpost your resultif finished=1 goto endif finished=0 goto proofread:end (agreed this code could be nicer and much more effective )If you are willing to do just that, please be very welcome to join the team. I'm awaiting your application. Edited January 25, 2010 by Mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
