SUMMARY:

I need people interested to learn programming with others to help a team win 15,000 USD in a huge competition for BEGINNERS.
Must-know:
  1. We work in the Ylands editor
  2. Bohemia Interactive has given us 20 copies of Ylands to give out to those interested
  3. We split the winnings between those who help
  4. We use visual scripting.
To join:

1) If that sounds even slightly interesting to you, respond with "Interesting" or "I am in" to get priority access to the game copies (we lend them out).
2) Message RedEagle_P1#4480 & say "I want to learn programming"

The 15,000 USD competition:



Bohemia Interactive is making a sandbox survival game that will launch later this year. The game is as much a game-engine as a game. You can build your own city roleplay, pvp, survival game, tetris etc. in its editor without using a single mod.

Tencent, the largest game company in the world, is seeking to expand their sandbox portfolio and has decided to push this game big-time in China.

Therefore, a 15,000 USD competition is being done right now.

P1 is taking on the challenge:

P1 is a casual, non-toxic gaming community. We won the competition last time and we hope to do so again.
What does Visual Scripting look like?

Once you learn more it grows in complexity.

Can it help me learn how to program?

Some of the biggest issues when learning programming are:
  1. Its extremely precise
  2. You are overwhelmed by options
  3. You do a lot of work for little reward at the start
Visual scripting will teach you the basics of understanding how programs work without forcing you to be super-precise. Having a limited set of options and being able to see the result of your work quickly simplifies the challenge and draws you in.

Moreover, our whole community will be helping you so you don't get stuck on that one bug forever.
What kind of people we are looking for:

Even though I have used a lot of sensational titles so far, that's not really who we are. We are casual game-dev-interested people wanting to learn from each other.

How is P1 different?

We don't take an upfront cut but rather share the winnings equally based on how much time and effort people put in. We pride ourselves on being open, democratic and not using but caring about people.

We don't take absurd management fees or use up people. We value each other, we are like a family of mature gamers doing cool things together.
How does payment work?

To over simplify: We clock hours and split winnings based on hours invested.
What do people think about P1 so far?

What is Ylands?

A survival, crafting and mining game like Minecraft intended to have a depth to satisfy adults while having the friendliness to entertain kids.

Will there be an option to use real scripting instead of visual scripting?

Later on yes, but right now its visual. Visual is a good way to learn what the system can do -- like what options are available. But yes, a lot of people want that direct programming.

Alright as long as real scripting is a thing at some point I'm in.
