Can we open a request thread to portal where PA-team can ask aid for coding, gfx and writing, which they lack time to complete. That way we can use multiple talents we hold in the community. Without higher pressure to master or re-code whole game

ie. PA-team seeks for cabable coder (code language named) to create moons for each planet to make. The task is pay free, how ever u will get teams technical support knoledge as a backup and free PA credits. Your work needs to be well explained (easy to spot bugs) if something gets broken.

ie. PA-team seeks for cabable GFX artist to create art around existing units ingame. The pictures need to be sized as xx. PA-team will be hosting the pictures and publish your work ingame.

ie. PA-team seeks for a story writer to create a backround story for the game. We would be very delighted about willing volunteers.

Also if there is a chance, offer small amounts of money/prizes aswell. This way we can potentially faster the developement of the game and not put everything on Apoccos shoulders. We could potentially increase the willing and able coders for the game and possible future team members.

If it was done in an open source sort of way maybe where people are able to produce possible additions or changes for consideration or/and work on group projects, that could be fun. Anything suitable/useful could be added in. I'm a very capable coder I would consider helping out with that

The problem I see with outside help in the form of coding, is that ALL code will needed to be looked at to see if any back doors/nasty code have been added, because some people would include them.

So basically the only people that can "code" PA are those who are known and trusted by the PA Team.

The best that a coder could help is with html, css, etc.

the team can check the code ofc before using it and we can have testers to work on closing all possible holes. I know people that have helped to close abusive holes in other games. After caught using them self tho :P hehe.

I dont see why we should limit all the work for a man or two, if there are people willing to code stuff they (and others) find amusing. We get far more faster developement by hiring, or asking for people to help coding. You could also recruit a willing coding team, where to throw tasks to complete. Whom ever has time and will can complete this one needed task and ofc ask help from the other cabable coders. There can sit people just with the knoledge, but without the motivation to work on them self.

Why not use all the potential that we hold.
