The Dragon's Neck is built on the objective of creating a world unique and detail-driven. With that in mind, we work together on this project passionately and for a variety of personal motivating factors. We do not develop, build, or contribute with an expectation of monetary gain, only that we might contribute to a project that surpasses the quality and experience of all others.
To accomplish this mission, we are always looking for contributors who are looking to stake a claim in this effort. No area of focus is off-limits. All developers are expected to maintain a high level of integrity & protect the confidentiality of the server itself. There are aspects of development that are intended to surprise the community, and leaking those is unacceptable. We take team work VERY seriously, and it is critical that any developers who aim to work on TDN commit to that same concept. We are eager to debate, however respect, honesty & integrity have to remain paramount.
If you are interested in contributing, please contact Khaine on Discord or the Forums.
Area Design (Partners with Area-Design Director)
Please submit an area designed with vanilla assets to be considered. This should be a 4x4 area of any kind. Do not use any Encounters, scripting or triggers.
Role Requirements:
Scripting (Partners with Technical Director)
Please submit a sample module with a system you have designed and created. This does not need to be an overly complex system, what I am looking for is the ability to craft your code in a sensible manner that minimizes server strain on the CPU.
Also, as it relates to scripting:
Writer (Partners with Narrative Director)
This role requires a significant understanding of the current narrative changes that TDN has undergone, as well as the ability to craft narrative and dialog that is proper, efficient, and digestable across numerous facets. (NPC Conversations, Books, General Storytelling, etc).
Please submit a short-story under 1,000 words that showcases your ability to write creatively.
3D Artist (Partners with Art Director)
This role requires a few specific expectations (mentioned below). While we are unlikely to take on apprenticeship-type developers, if an interested individual submits an application that exceeds expectations and shows a personal effort to learn Blender and the processes, they will be considered. Those who are interested will need to consistently partner with the Art Director and development team to craft a standard-defining level of quality unlike anything NWN has seen in the past.
