Hello, so, just so you know I'll be getting this down in about ten minutes, because this is so new, like a seed in the soil, anyways! Enough with metaphors. So about a month ago I came up with an idea called the steampunk mod, since there are very few steampunk mods out there, and none with big gear thingys (as far as I know of) I said, I think I'll start this project! Why not? (besides the fact it'll practically be a whole new game) So anyways, I'm looking for anybody, new modders, old modders, modelers, artists, sound makers. As my schedule is (I'm working on another mod called mythical mobs, it big) I won't be able to start this monster until August. Now here's the important bit: You must be dedicated to take 2 1/2 months to become skilled as hell. Now you have until the end of July to become the best you can be, and you should study, because:
there will be gears interacting with eachother (this has never been done before)
the gears will make big machines do stuff
I plan to have a vanilla texturepack made for this mod
all the textures will be hd
all/most of the models I plan to be obj's, so become good at blender
I may use the metaworlds api, or not, but I want steampunk ships (much more complicated than in the steampunk airships mod) where you can design your own, like in the haribote airships mod, but will require energy, and I would like to test for the size of ship and where the weight is, blah, blah, so it will fall down, at an angle, this is complicated, that's why I'm studying java
there will be a whole new clothing system, cause who doesn't like Victorian clothing?
the clothing will require an api, similiar to armor, but I'd like to have a bit of an obj animation trickery to make the coats flap, cause its more awesome, this will be complicated
there will be customizable "steampacks" (like the name?) similar to steves carts 2, but this will use obj's, this, will also require an api
there will also be a complicated steampunk body armor system, so you can have a chainsaw on your arm, or a kneepad, or a, well, etc.
this clothing stuff will require an api I would like to release seperately
different aesthetics, like dressers, lamps, closets, chairs, you get the idea
I think you got the idea of complexity by now
So, I need people who are dedicated enough to spend a few months, probably 8 months, maybe a year, but remember, you have 2 months to talk with eachother and I about what to add in the mod, and perfect your skills, so when we start, we can just start. I prefer anyone applying to have some experience though, but remember, you must be determined to learn things, but I can feel understanding because I am still a beginner, learning, online, anywhere. But 2 months! So here's the application:
Name: (because I can't read usernames ) Skype name: (well, it helps, and it's only for text chat, unless we feel like having a long discussion about what to add) Position: (coder, modeler, texture artist, sound artist, can be multiple) Previous experience: (self explanatory) How you rate yourself in the scheme of your position: (good or bad, and why) Why you want to join: (I'm curious, and it helps me determine your determination) How scared you are of working on this mod: (how much does the largeness and complexity scare you? This helps me determine your understanding and sanity, not that I have any) Your preparation plans: (how do you plan to prepare for this monster baby?) About you: (talk about personality here, partially because I'm curious, and so I can determine if you're worth it)
Be honest, if you cover something up, you may be covering up the one thing I like in you, and besides, I don't like dishonest people, however, I do like sarcastic people, big difference. I ask you that you make each answer a paragraph (other than name or position), so that is is short, but to the point, if you must go longer, be my guest. Also, I need a large team, and those highly experienced will be given donuts. One more thing: my motto is quality over quantity, you dont have to be speedy gonzales (does anybody even know about that anymore?) Second more thing, I don't want haters. Bye bye! Have fun foruming and thanks for any support, I know I may seem like a madman, but I am!

Maybe... but I guess that's your choice, you could always just walk into my room when I'm not on my laptop and email yourself the files and go all willy nilly. But fill it out, I wanna see what you have to say, besides "But I'm your brother! Wha! Wha! Wha!" haha

Yeah, we don't want bugs in the code, we want DE-bugged bugs in the code, unless you meant to say de-bugger, but you know absolutely no java! And you have little experience with complex mods, so you have no chance testing this, well, maybe, this is awkward.

If nobody will apply, I would at least like some ideas. Ideas are helpful, actually, this is one of the few mods where somebody who only gives ideas would actually be helpful. So basically, ideas and feedback, any type of feedback (good or bad is appreciated) at this point, I really have no idea. Also, I know this thread may be in the wrong plave, but an admin put it here even though I asked for it to be moved to ideas, and requests, but whatever. FEEDBACK, gimme, haha, bye.

I am setting up the package structure so that it can be developed in modules, meaning small teams will work on each, or a few modules, and only one single line of codewill have to be added to the main class, for each module. pretty cool, right? Cause I'm not feeling the love, I don't care if you are a newbie, if you are as dedicated as hell, or you have some ideas, cause humans can learn stuff quickly, just apply, pwetty pweez?

I didn't realize this would be so difficult. If anybody is willing to learn, I'll be happy to teach you, this is the perfect oppurtunity to learn java, not only would you become good in java, but also a proficient modder. I would really just like to see some support. I'm not feeling the love.

Name: Just call me J. Or Aur. Whatever floats ya boat. Skype name: arrow.chrysera Position: Mainly coder (coz I can't do art for ), but I can stretch into sound design a little bit Previous experience: I've tried my hand at making a Minecraft mod once, never finished it because artwork. I can say I'm quite proficient in Java (computer science student, guaranteed one whole year spent on it) and I've studied the MinecraftForge API to a certain extent. TL;DR: I can do it. How you rate yourself in the scheme of your position: Probably good, I've made a few small games and stuff with the language I'll be using so yeah. Why you want to join: I love steampunk, it just feels so... coordinated. And beautiful. And also I have a few ideas I can share. Maybe more than a few. How scared you are of working on this mod: I'm not. I've always challenged myself. Your preparation plans: Research on more steampunk concepts, brush up on my gear physics, and dive right into coding. About you:
The Good Things: I can do whatever I set my mind to. I can handle time constraints, and they actually bring out my resourcefulness and creativity. If there will be no time limit, I would probably be rushing myself anyway. I'm a pretty creative guy and I appreciate all ideas, am open to criticism, and can voice out my opinions well. The Bad Things: I have a hard time with waiting, because I tend to easily forget ideas if I don't write them down or code them, etc. I'm an impatient *******, yeah, and I have trouble working with people who can't keep up with me, so I prefer having a standalone assignment solely to myself.

Yep. Arguments on Youtube and Special Olympics. All that great stuff.

You are almost, but not quite EXACTLY like me... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I THOUGH THIS THREAD WAS DEAD Oaky, now that I am out of caps lock, I can tell you I'll finish up the package/file structure this week now that I have motivation to finish that!

Mod being renamed too: Gears of Steam We thought "The Steampunk Mod" didn't sound good enough, but all the other mod names were taken, so then he [Autumn] blurted "gears of steam" it has stuck. Deal with it.

So now I am up to a team of 2 + me, so that takes care of sounds, coding, texturing, and basic modeling, but I need someone to to make a few player animation model obj things, by that I mean multiple obj's you can pm me for details, other than that, we should be good to go!

Well good for you, I am sarcastic and weird, and you have a wonderful application! You are accepted, and no, multiple artists couldn't hurt. And just add me on skype right away, it's thedr3141.
P.S. No you really aren't that late, it's just this thread isn't popular, and we've barely started development, we've just been chatting about what to add and how.

Well... I love steampunk. Not necessarily into making sounds, just that I thought it's what I could do to support this (besides, I do have the experience). And... this is my first time actually doing something Minecraft mod related. I made this account solely for this project, so yeah.

Oh wow thanks. Touched me really, lately things have been exceedingly difficult for me to work on my ever complicated life and both my mods have suffered greatly. You would be such a breath of fresh air to motivate me thank you, in fact, you came in at the perfect time. And I love Tesla too. And DIY projects, Wow.
