Test Team

[GouRou 2]

the problem with being on a team like buildings where all you do is contribute ideas is that it takes someone time to either sketch or work up what your talking about. there will be tons of ideas over time, but very few people to work them into anything. too many ideas, and not enough artists will lead to kind of.. uhh, I guess like a feeling like it's an impossible job. we have a few batters working up ideas, but unless you can get that idea to us visually, through either a good sketch, or a workup in gmax, then that idea will probably go unrealized.

[GouRou 2]

I'll start off by saying this again, I realize this is the idea phase, but if you can make something, make it so we can have a direction for other's efforts. we need a general idea of what each type of object will look like so we can kind of visualize if it will fit or not in the general scheme of things. I know I can visualize without sketches, but many can not, so if you have the ability to show something, do so.

[GouRou 2]

it's hard sometimes to do useful testing by other people, because to do that, you have to tweak it then share it, compile feedback, tweak it, share it, compile feedback, etc, etc, it's a time consuming cycle. so often I simply have to guess what people want, or just make several variations. I have an incredible stack of props already, and tons in the works, but there is no simple way to show them all and get feedback when I make a prop in 10 minutes flat. sure some could be later tweaked, but tweaking also need not be done by me, however, it's not that time yet.

right now, we NEED people to MAKE buildings, time is sliding by and we have only a few buildings. we cant tell you want to make, there arent enough sketchers. idea people are out of a job until we actually get things made. if you want to do something, practice and get good at batting, because that is where the majority of our time is going to end up. once you are good enough, start churning out simple $ buildings/civics/utilities. not too simple tho, they need to be maxis quality, but that right now is what we need badly.

hi, hopefully you are already familliar with some of my work i have already designed the following for you guys:
hi tech fire station - small and large (deluxe is being worked on)
hi tech police kiosk (working on large and deluxe)
and the cult of cydonia reward which i have to upload to builderman once he pm's me with his email address, you can also check out my other lots on the STEX, the flying marlin fish and chips shop and the Xanadu nightclub
you can see the cult of cydonia on the mars BAT building showcase thread.
so it would be really great if you would accept me as a member to this project, in the building team of course, thanks

An item to note: I should be removed from the list as a text editing leader ...

[gshmails 534]

Octopus7 - Your work so far is great.  If you want to be on the team, do what I did.  Go to http://simmars.simvision.net/invision/ and register.  Then ask to be put on the building team.  You should get a response pretty quickly.  Thanks for all the effort and hard work.  Sign up soon so we can get you rollin'.

I want to help but I don't see much i can do, I could help with website, if you wan tme too.

[hummer0328 6]

I had previously closed on letting new members into the Website Team.  However, the teams responcibilities are growing.

 

Previous Responcibilities:

Website

Forums

 

New Responcibilities:

WebCollab

Chat

Quarterly Newsletter

 

Because of this, I am opening up 2 more positions in the Website Team.  So dev, if you want on the team, your in!

 

One more position open!  Apply here, or on the new SimMars Forums.

Interesting thread but what music has to deal with SC4. anyways thats a good idea but you can't make up groups and throw names on it.. the person that wants to join the group has to show its talent like BAT Squad or Modd Squad

Actually I agree with dudyconstructor.  I know from the posts in SimCity.com that you ask us to explain why we would be good for the position and we aren't really applying for an engineering job.  But all the same do you wanna see a resume first??

EDIT:  Eh, what the hey, I'll apply for the Newsletter.  Qualifications (where everyone can see, but I can still live with):

I work in management for a government agency and supervise social workers who have to prepare and submit regular reports that I edit and sign off on.  I've also written grants and program descriptions and once had to write the same reports my current staff has to right now.   NOW, do you also need a licensed clinical social worker??

[hummer0328 6]

Actually, I spoke to dev privatly in chat.  He explained his qualifications.

 

Joesocwork, through your post, you sound qualified for this positioin.  Two people should be enough to edit a quarterly newsletter.  PM me for further details.

Hey guys,

I'd like to join the building team. I'm pretty busy so I won't be a BAT machine but I think I could make some interesting contributions to the project.

[Boris225 1]

Since this thread isn't updated often I will just plop you and stamp into your respective teams on the website's list, ok?

 

EDIT: And Voila! You are both now listed on the main site. Just click on the link in my sig and then go to Project

[RaccoRVA 3]

Ok, this hasn't been replied to for quite some time, but i was at the simmars webpage (which i don't check very often) and i noticed that some of the pages actualy linked to other pages! (sorry for the sarcasm)
Any way, I read that orishavit was looking for members to join his text team, (and again, this might be so old, and he might already have enough members), but i was thinking that i could actualy be of help with this, and although i can't bat at the location where i am, i could be help with this.
My only question is, what is it? is it like typing a story line, or what?
Sorry if this all is so wrong, but after just reading things about SM, i am so eager to help in some way.
Thanks.
Racco

Hey Racco,

From what I can tell we can definately use some more team members. Hopefully one of the team leaders will post and let you know for sure. The text team is changing everything text oriented to match the Mars theme. This included loading messages, the news ticker, etc. If later you are able to BAT, the Building Team could definately use some help, too. I'm glad your interested in the project and I hope you decide to join.

[stamp 4]

yes, the loading messages are done! I'm just waiting for some feedback on them... havent got anything yet, so i think its done

there IS an incredible amount of news items, and i am drawing up a safe way to edit these, cause otherwise there would be a collision and two people editing the same post. If you want to join up, post here!

(BTW, can i be listed in text editing and graphics as well, now that im doing a lot of text and that simmars teaser trailer?)
