Guide to contributing to the game

From NSV13
Jump to navigationJump to search

This is more of an index to contributing to the game. Note that your solutions might not be used and it is possible for them to even be ridiculed. Please do not take offense and try to get as much constructive criticism out of it as you can. If your work does get put in, than congratulations!!

I hope this covers everything, if not, join #coderbus and ask there.

Ideas[edit | edit source]

So you have an idea and don't know where to post it? Simple... check if it's already been submitted and if it hasn't, post it here.

Icons, glyphs, sprites, animations... images[edit | edit source]

For an overview on spriting see our Guide to spriting.

You have what it takes to make a 32x32 pixel image actually look like something? We're always on the lookout for good spriters. You can post your sprites or discuss them here.

Coding[edit | edit source]

A code overview is available as well as a guide for experienced programmers.

Most coders will probably be hanging out with the rest of the NSV crew in the NSV13 Discord.

Mapping[edit | edit source]

A Guide to mapping is available. If you have any additional questions please ask here.

Development and contribution guides[edit | edit source]
