Acquisition: A Star Wars Adventure - - NOW HIRING

Acquisition: A Star Wars Adventure
Hello! Welcome to the Acquisition: A Star Wars Adventure Official Topic! I am CantStopWishiwashi, but believe it or not, I am NOT the Project Manager! HoresHWS started this collab with the creation of another thread in November of 2016. The goal of this collaboration is to create a Star Wars themed platformer game. In the first version we are hoping for three to four Star Wars planets each with one or two scenarios based on episodes from the TV show “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. In future versions we are hoping to add a scrolling engine, plus more planets and scenarios.

Positions
We do something a bit different in terms of organization. Below you can see just what:
Please Read This Before Applying!!!Currently there are two Group Leader positions available. Group Leaders report to the Collaboration Admin (and the rest of the collab) weekly as to what they are doing. Group leaders are in charge of what positions there are and what assignments the group will complete in order to complete their main assignment. You can be a Group Leader and still occupy another position in the group, as well as the collab. These positions are vital to the success of the collab and therefore we must make sure that anyone in this position is prepared. If you are interested in this position, please contact HoresHWS on his profile. Once we have these positions filled, we can get everyone placed in their groups and work can start! Please start thinking about what position you would like to be in and, if you think you are capable, please consider a position as a Group Leader. Thank you!

Assignments
Coder:Remix the current project and re-code the speeder sprites so they actually move back and forth across the screen randomly. They can move at random speeds but the player has to jump on them to complete the level, so not too fast.
Tester:None as of yet.
Animator:Create plasma animation for level . (See the duel with Darth Maul scene from Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace for an example of plasma.
Edit by CSW: Have the artists create the images, you just animate those images.
Advertiser:Advertise the collaboration, but don't advertise on popular projects, profiles, or in studios where advertising is not allowed.
Sound Designer:None as of yet.
Artist:Take background #1 of this project and turn it into a banner. Get the banner to CSW to put in the OP.Remix the current project and finish the level art in the same stile as the art in the beginning of the project. Use the rough level designs and “Level Notes” as a guide. Don't draw in the arrows. (On backdrop 10, yes you do start on the roof!) Post a link to the finished remix in this topic.

You would have to ask in the old topic for now, and I am also not the person to ask.

Hi there! I remember you! Be great to have you back, but I don't think I have the power to accept people into the collab. I'll go ahead and ask the project manager.
Back in a moment!
-CSW
Edit: I do have the power to accept people, and your application looks pretty good to me. Welcome back!
Also was your example project curated or something, it was pretty good.Last edited by CantStopWishiwashi (Nov. 26, 2017 18:02:37)
