Cpl. Facehugger Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Once you are a recruit you will be able to post in the Workshops where we do the majority of Xenocide work. Now, music compositions and artwork are needed more than CTD work at the moment, so if you do those first and work on creative texts on the side, that would be good. Welcome to Xenocide!

Nurrin Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 I've been following this project for about six months or so and after seeing some of the earlier versions in action I decided I'd love to help out in the Creative Writing department. I've played through the first three Xcom games and the majority of the spin offs; the first one is definitely the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, we can't just steal sounds from other games or movies. NickJones, contact Raven Squad and HippyJon for sounds that still need to be secured. You've both been promoted to recruits.

Treyguard Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) Heya,I'd love to help the project in someway, preferably background text ( ) and related fluff.....can do that Played xcom 1-3 loads (interceptor scared me and the fps was barely a fps let alone xcom...) and often end up making backgorund fluff for all sorts of games (nothing I get paid for tho ) Basic programming bits I could have a go at too, but no promises there!

Foozball Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Hello everyone!I stumbled onto this website/project a little while ago and all I have to say is ! This is the greatest thing EVER! I would LOVE to help out in anyway I can... with all of your consent and persmission, of course. A little bit about myself:I'm an almost-graduated Aerospace Engineering student from Ottawa, Canada. Because of that, I'd be good at adding my technical two cents on all of the technology CTs and stuff. Futhermore, I write technical documents 24/7, so I know ALL there is to know about that sort of stuff.My programming skill (although existant) is nothing to brag about, so I don't know how much help I'd be in that sense.And, of course, I've been playing the XCom games for years, but that should go without saying if I'm here. Hope I can help! Foozy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I'm sure you can help. Soon, a helpful admin will make you a recruit. Then, you'll be able to post in the workshops. The workshops are where we do the majority of the work on xenocide. Programmers of any skill are required more than writers, so if you can program and do a little Creative Writing on the side, that would be great. But if you'd rather join the CTD, you should take a look at the assets list: CTD Assets list That tells us what is done, and what still needs doing in the realm of the CTD. If you want to work on an already in progress CT (Ex: Interceptor) you should contact the person writing it. Often, they will just hand the CT to you because they don't have time for it at the moment. Also, you should base your Text on whatever art concept there is, because the text is always going to get changed to fit the art, not the other way around. <_> Welcome to Xenocide!

GrooveChamp Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Greetings =) I would like to add my "app" for becoming a creative writer for the xenocide project (I like to speak in my ol' joking manor, so plz don't worry about the many smiley =D) Due to the fact that I've only got limited knowledge in Programming and a little bit more knowledge in Modelling (even though I've got tools), I think would be best to show what I could do to help the project.I've played nearly all xcom titles besides Xcom-Interceptor with my life and soul - like many of us hehe. Example of what I can doI enjoy writing much, especially sci-fi stories I guess the best example is here:http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php?id=15244 194 pages of a scifi fanfic which I write nearby (and it's not at the half yet =)). If there was one thing about Xcom Apoc/Ufo that inspired me, then it would be the Ufopedia texts with the images you see along with researched items. I'm american, but I live in Germany, so translation to german is also not a prob for me =) I would love to get in touch with others of the project, including music (like music ^^), image (like to draw and develop the weaponary things) and programming team =) HeheI dont wanna sound like "teh badass dude that knows everything" - I'm a noob afterall Learning things alone could take a century - and I think its best to learn-by-doing along with a project that you like to do. So I hope I can assist So longThe Groovechampion Groovie can be contacted with: Email: md_geist2002 at web.deICQ: 164929586AIM: EL SPARKI 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magstar Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Like everyone else in this topic, I'd like to work on Xenocide as a project member recruit. I'm terrible at writing resumes, so this is going to be rather informal. I am a good (the happy medium between ego and modesty) writer, with a passion for science fiction, X-Com, computer gaming, and writing in general. I don't have any special programming or artwork skills, although I do have a very good vocal range, for when it becomes necessary to record voices(human and alien), but neither do I have any objection to criticism, cooperative writing efforts, or completely altering my first draft until it's completely unrecognizable. There, that's over with without too much blood or too many tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalo Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I'm interested in helping with Creative Texts. I am also posting in the programmer's recruitment thread, and mostly want to program, but I have been told I am a good copy editor, and can pick out a lot of mistakes.

Otterboy Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hi, i have been looking around the forums and am really impressed wiht what you are trying to achieve here. I would love to help but unfortunately i have no programming skills and my artistic abilities are unfortunately only in RL not on a comupter medium so i offer myself up as a creative writer. Luckily i have a very active imagination and have plenty of ideas and am more than willing to come up with creative text and compile them all together so that they are coherent and link together well.

cd12 Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I wish, yet I words cannot express my thrill for I have found this site. I am very keen on taking part in such a marvellous project. I am convinced this XCom awakening, will be a game with soul, same as the original UFO is. The great thing about it, is that it lets you express your creativity. It is unlike most other games wich have a "single solution" to the problem and a "single problem", in the UFO you have options and there is a lot of randomizing, wich is great for it makes it virtually an infinite game (You don't have to go to Cydonia!! This way my friend and I have played it beyond 2005!) ... I shall better say no more, for I have to say too much. I've been thinking A LOT, about "recreating" UFO long time before came accross Xenocide project, therefore you might find some of my "thinkings" useful. Me and two friends of mine who are also VERY interested in the project, are willing to contribute the cause as much as we can. I guess writing and new ideas would be our terrain, for, unfortunately, programming knowledge we do not have... cd12, Slovenia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 (edited) Welcome. You had best check out the names in the X-net portion of the workshop (after am admin makes you a recruit) because we aren't using the old names due to legal snags. We would perfer it if everyone refered to the new names when talking about an item, so that atari/hasborg doesn't send their lawyers after us. To get an assignment, contact Bruenor via PM. And check out the CTD assets list for information about what is done and what isn't. Also, try to familiarize yourself with the discussions in the workshops. Soon, an admin will make you a recruit. Recruits and above are the only ones that can post in the workshops, where we do the majority of Xenocide work. You can tell when you are a recruit by your group. At the moment it is "Forum Members" When you are a recruit, it will say "Project Member Recruit." Most importantly, Welcome to Xenocide. Edited May 17, 2004 by Cpl.

Kikanaide Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Hey all, This post is to indicate my interest in helping with the project. I'm primarily interested in helping out with X-Net entries, but could also help with general document-based needs. I'm an electrical engineering student, with a physics minor, so if scientific accuracy is required (or desired), I hopefully can add to that. I've also worked as a copy editor (strange enough for an engineer, makes more sense when you realize my mother was an English teacher), so I'm used to the revision process. I also, like I imagine everyone here, think X-com is high on the list of best games ever. I am looking forward to doing my part in creating a game that captures the heart, without the glitches and crashing. Someone care to "recruit" me?

milesteg Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I won't be too original if I say that what you're doing is a fine job. Although making a game better then X-com I and II is almost impossible you seem to be able to achieve this goal. That's why I decided to join this incredible project and spend some free time on preparing documenation, x-com entries and maybe in future some programming stuff. At the moment I'm a student of Applied Linguistics I speak fluently German, English and of course Pollish as I come from Poland. I learn a lot about descriptive grammar and all the other stuff. So I definitely what to write and how to write:) I'm planning to study computer science. Maybe in the future I will also be working on Xenocide's source code. I hope that you'll give me chance to show what I can and that I'll gain some experience this way. Ohh. I'm so excited, while writing this message that my hands are shaking. Ok that would be all.

Gyrfalcon No'Dessu Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Greetings, I happened to run across the Xenocide project about a week ago, while I was searching for a complete walkthrough to Interceptor. (no dice there, it wasn't the most popular game, as I'm sure you're well aware... especially if you're saying 'X-Com: Interceptor... what?) After falling in love with the UFO models I decided to take a look around, and I'd like to help with the X-net entries. Having looked at which topics have been assigned and which have not, I'd like to take on the descriptions of the [battleship] and [supply Ship] UFOs. As a side note, while my own writing falls into the realm of fantasy, I'm an avid reader of both fantasy and sci-fi, and I hope that I can contribute to this project.

Cpl. Facehugger Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 If you're looking for a interceptor walkthrough, there's one on www.gamefaqs.com. But the problem with a walkthrough is that interceptor have very few set battles, so a walkthrough can only provide a bit of help with strategy and such. Anyway, if you want to do those entries, go right ahead. You won't be able to post in the workshops until some helpful admin makes you a recruit, however. Just give them some time.

Gyrfalcon No'Dessu Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Nah, I'm alright... it's not exactly that hard to beat, at least on Beginner. I just like reading the database entries on the various alien species and the technology. I suppose I'll just have to spend time and research things instead. *chuckles* Cool enough then. I think I'll go look and see if anyone's crafted preliminary models of the [supply Ship] or [battleship], I know names are still being decided on for the ships... now to see if anyone's talked at all about concepts of what they should look like or do.
