Galactic War is getting made

An update

Good news: brutus5000 and I have started working on Galactic War. Don't get too excited, this won't be finished in a month.

The project will be divided in two parts/repositories:

  • gw-backend
  • gw-frontend

These will communicate via web sockets and API calls. As for now, we sort of know the technologies we are going to use, but aren't 100% sure yet. I'll update this topic accordingly.


Technologies

  • Spring Boot
  • Camunda BPM
  • Elide
  • JPA
  • Websockets (STOMP)
  • Gulp
  • Pug
  • SASS
  • CoffeeScript


The current team

Currently, there is two of us:

  • brutus5000: works on gw-backend
  • lextoc: works on gw-frontend

If you feel like you can help us out, you're always welcome to contact us via the forum, the in-game client, or Slack (#galactic-war).
I'm watching you!

What type of help do you need? Programming, UI design, game crafting?

Not 100% sure, but a graphics artist is always most welcome.

If someone feels like helping me out: I need a short video (~20 seconds) that will be used as background on the GW website. In this youtube video there are a couple of good shots that could serve as inspiration (like where the Cybran ships come out of the water): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jpZJQIDuAs

Keep in mind the video should not be too "busy".

The video should be delivered in two versions if possible: .webm and .mp4. I can convert it to these myself, just mentioning it.

I'm probably the best at the game crafting stuff, things similar to the map post I made in this very forum. I have some programming knowledge but probably not as much as either of you in the areas you're working in.

I can also do the video as well, where do you want it placed?

I'm working on the faction selection page at the moment. Brutus is working on the backend with a "test client": https://cl.ly/320I1S0E393j

If you want to help out with simple stuff you can always reach out to us on Slack.
