"The Dark Wave" needs some helping hands...

At first I want to mention that I do not search for a big crew doing all the work for me. I'm not one of those teamleaders who don't do anything themselfes and who annoy the members of their projects (I heard stories like that). In fact I already invented half of the plot, made 6 Skins and (partly) designed 4 Maps (with triggers) including the intro which hopefully can be released within the next ..err.. weeks.

So, if you join me, you'll not get the feeling you're the only one working. OK, enough advertising.. :) I just need a little help, so that I will have finished before 2010.

What's "The Dark Wave"?
Concept:
- No Mod (except for some MPQ2K implementations such as skins and fade filters).
- No "true" RPG (such as Kaggz' Shadows of Evil).
- A "normal" campaign like the Blizzard campaign, but some more RPG-elements.
- The campaign is split into two parts which will be released one after another.
- The first part is planned to consist of 9 missions and 5 interludes.
- The second part is not completely designed, yet. The ending is rather open until now. I'm willing to discuss this part of the plot with the future team-members.
- Bilingual! You can chose your desired language (German or English) in the intro and the decision will be stored in the cache. But you can switch the language all the time using chat message commands.

Story:
Of course I cannot tell you much now, because the story is top secret.

Well.. The story is not set in Azeroth (Blizzard's WarCraft world), but in an other world not named yet. After centuries of many small wars, two gigantic alliances have been formed: The "Horde" (Orcs, Trolls, Tauren and Ogre) and the socalled "Great Alliance" (Humans, Dwarfs, Elves, Night Elves). This was the beginning of the greatest war in history. It started in 1176 and it lasted nearly 120 years. The world was devastated and the people rebuilt their empires. But since there was never an official peace treaty, the people fear a new outbreak of the war. It's a time of great politcal tension.
It's now 1317. It's the time of one single magician whose actions will possible cause another war... It's the time of the Dark Wave!

I need:

MAPPER: I need a good mapper who makes some of the maps for me and who really loves details. I don't want the maps looking all the same. It would be perfect if I found a mapper who is also very(!) good at scripting. Otherwise I would do the triggering.

SKINNER: I need one or more who is/are good at skinning to create some individualized heros and units.

CREATIVE ASSISTANT: What this is?? I'm not quite sure, too. I thought about someone who helpes me with the creative progress, e.g. inventing names of characters and towns, linking main events of the plot, helping with the missions design (What will the player have to do to win the mission? What will happen between the main events? What side quests will there be?) and similar things. Even though the C.A. (probably) will not do any mapping or scripting, he should at least(!) know the basics, so that he knows what can be done and what not.

LINGUAL ADVISOR: I'm not bad in English, but it's not my mother tongue. The L.A. corrects my mistakes and optimizes my style. It should be someone speaking English as his mother tongue, so the L.A. would be a rather easy job. It could (and should) be combined with one of the other jobs.

BETA TESTER: I think, we don't need seperate beta testers. I do much beta testing on my own. And when a mission is finished, then every member gets it it to play it once or twice and I'll make every necessary improvement.

(WEBHOSTER/WEBDESIGNER: Of course the campaign needs some webspace to be published. I need some good and free webspace to upload the files. Does anyone know some? I'm not planing a big, flashy website, just a little download page. But if there is someone who wants to make a website for me, then: You are welcome!)

[added to prevent missunderstandings]
I do:

- I coordinate everything.
- I write the plot (I've already done half of the job).
- I make the dialogs.
- I make the translations.
- I make about half of the mapping, sharing the job with the mapper I'm searching for.
- I make the scripting for all maps, if the mapper can't do it. I make the scripting just for all of my maps if he can.
- I make some of the skins.
- I do the first intensive beta tests.
- I will design the webpage if I don't find someone willing to do it.

So, that's it for the moment.
Any candidatures, suggestions or comments?

So pretty much you just want every one to do this for you, it looks like you have it covered every one doing all the required jobs, I don't see why any one would be willing to help you.

You need to do most of the work yourself, otherwise you're just trying to be some producer who lavishly has everyone make his ideas.

Please, read closely. I -for example- didn't write:
I need a good mapper who makes all of the maps
But I wrote:
I need a good mapper who makes some of the maps

OK, just to prevent further missunderstandings, I added a list of all I'm doing to the initial post...

OK now?

Great work JC. :)

Who or what is JC??

Here some screenshots of the protagonists:

I could do C.A. and L.A. I would Idealy like to do more, but my skills really aren't honed enough for the other jobs, I know in genereal how to do most of the other stuff, I'm just not too good at it.

Sounds Good

:g:

I'm far to busy right now (and too lazy) to be of much help, but if you get it done I'd gladly make a website for it. Also, maybe after Fury of Kadesh is done, if you still need help, I could make some terrains for you.
