How can I help aka 'Jobs' - Spikeone/WaS_Server GitHub Wiki
First of all, I’ll have to explain what the main idea behind this project is: At the moment it’s one guy, me, who tried to check if he could do such a project. Answer is yes so far. If this project will ever have a public server and active players, there will be some costs like a server for hosting. Initially I will just pay such things as I don’t mind them. The game is designed to be free and I don’t think I will ever add either an initial price nor a monthly fee.
That said I may add cosmetics (I’m aware that cosmetics in some games give advantages, but I do not intend to do so) you can buy. Also I’m thinking about a display of “how much did you may for the time you played” as this is one thing I’m having a look on games I play. That way everyone can decide if he/she wants to pay something or not. So if this every generates income it will be used on the following:
- paying server costs
- buying models / paying model designers
- buying textures / paying texture designers
- buying scripts
If there is money left, It’ll be saved. If there is enough money to host the server another 5 years, we may have a server real life event or something like that.
That said, I do not have a lot of expectations, it’s simple:
- work at least 4h/week on the project (average)
- do not break things without repairing them
- speak and write english
- basic knowledge of what you are working on
- interest and motivation
So whats this all about then? When it’s about gaining experience, having fun together and if this project has some progress you can add it as a reference. Also working with people from around the globe is quite fun and you may learn things you wont learn otherwise.

And what am I searching for:
Title | Description | Currently done by |
Web developer | You are the one who designs a webpage? You want people to see fancy things done with dirty hacks? Then you are the one I am searching. You will set up a webpage that is able to communicate with the database so players can create accounts, change passwords, change names and such things. | - |
Database designer | “A SQL query walks up to two tables in a restaurant and asks: ‘Mind if I join you?’” – When you are laughing you are probably the one for the database. Someone needs to ensure crazy developers doing things right when it comes to databases. Also you create stored procedures for input and output. | - |
Model designer | You have seen my gimpy models and can not understand how someone could be proud of that result? You will create our models then. Everything you create will be seen in game. Maybe you are a god – at least a demi-god | - |
Texture designer | An empty model comes up to you and you just start bodypainting? Then you could help our model designer. Brilliant models still need brilliant textures and you are the one who can do it! | - |
World designer | Models and textures make a world? It’s not that simple and you know that. But you are a god, telling a story. That branch lieing around was dropped by a bird that was followed by a hawk. Oh right up there is the nest of the bird. If you like creating such storys in a world, you can do it. | - |
Quest desinger | Creating storys is only fun if they are written down? Then you can create all quests. Depending on those quests you also create the universe this game is set in. There are bandits? Yes but why are they even here? And where did that sheep go? Also please kill 30 flies as they are annoying. | - |
Developer | Everyhing is held together by natural laws. In games those laws are written code. So you are one of those people who talk gibberish and suddenly magic happens. There is a lot to do and you can help with nearly everyhing. | Spikeone |
Audio designer | When your friends are talking about stuff and suddenly they start talking about music you are the only one who can enlighten their minds. Nobody knows what music is exactly but you! So designing audio effects, ambient sounds or music is what you like to do? Then you are our audio designer. From accepting a quest to leveling up, every sound we hear is created by you. | - |
Magician | None of those ‘titles’ are something you can do but still you have skills helping? Feel free to contact me and we will see if we can work together. | - |
