Developer interest for Solar Storm? Get a free copy of the game and playmat!

[Simon_Milburn]

Hi all,

First of all, thank you all for developing games for BGA. BGA has helped so many of us stay connected to our friends through our favourite hobby in these crazy times, including me!

At Dranda Games, we're keen to share Solar Storm with the BGA community, but we need your help as we don't have the skills to do this ourselves...

Are there any developers available who are interested in developing Solar Storm for Board Game Arena?

We would be pleased to offer the developer who completes the project a physical copy of the Deluxe version of Solar Storm and a playmat as a thank you for the time and effort put in

I'll be available to answer any questions during development! Thanks again for all of your hard work

Hi,

I'm interested in developing it. I'm the current maintainer of Stone Age on BGA, and I have developed it's Anniversary edition.

Solar Storm seems rather simple to implement.
The main difficulty will be the translation handling of all the cards, as there is a lot of text on them. The easiest way is to use the English version of the cards and to add a tool tip which will be translated. A better way in my view is that you also provide cards graphical assets without the texts, and the code will add translatable texts over them. This solution might not suite you as the visual aspect will differ from the printed version.

I can start working without the graphical assets, but I will need them probably in a week or so.

Please contact me through a private message to discuss how to transfer the graphical assets (the best way is probably to send them to a BGA admin, so BGA will alos have a copy of them), and any other points you would like to discuss.

Hi Inaofr,

Great! I have a contact in the BGA team who I'll send the files to and I'll send you a private message to discuss now.

Thanks!

Simon

As discussed with Simon, I just have received a positive answer for another project I have asked license for several weeks ago (I wasn't expected it anymore). So I will first implement this other project before going for Solar Storm. If any developer is interested in Solar Storm, feel free to take precedence on me. All my apologies to Simon for not going on Solar Storm first.

Hi Simon,

I may be interested, if no dev is available.

Do you have a deadline for the release (alpha) ?
