This is a new wiki page. A lot of content still needs to be copied over and updated. The archive is still available.
What is the Guild of Writers?
The Guild of Writers is a community of artists and programmers working to create assets and tools for the open-source CyanWorlds.com Engine. It is a collaborative community, working toward the common goal of building new and exciting ages. The Guild was formed on the basis of collaboration. We take great pride in our accomplishments and strive each day to create great things and outdo ourselves.
The Guild as it stands today has evolved from a previous modding and Age creation groups. It is as diverse as the Uru community, and that diversity is one of its strengths.
Leadership
The Guild of Writers is led by a Guild Council of consisting of these positions, as outlined by the generally approved Guild of Writers Structure Document:
- Guild Councilor of Artistic Direction (Current: Lontahv)
- Guild Councilor of Technical Direction (Current: Tsar Hoikas)
- Guild Councilor of Human Relations (Currently Unfilled)
Councilors were elected in Late 2008 and serve for an indefinite term. For more information on structure, please see the approved structure document.
Art and Writing
The primary focus of the Guild is on the creation of Ages for games which are based on the CyanWorlds.com Engine. At present, there are two paths:
- Using Blender with PyPRP, which targets Uru: Complete Chronicles and Uru: Ages Beyond Myst
- Using 3DS Max with the Cyan Worlds Max Plugin, which targets the most recent version of the CyanWorlds.com Engine.
If you aren't a 3D artist, there are opportunities for writing, sound design, and texture creation. You should join the forums and find a group to collaborate with.
Software Development
Supporting the artists is a dedicated team of software developers. Developers are free to work on whatever guild-related projects they like. Currently, the Councilor of Technical Direction suggests that new developers Contribute to the Guild of Writers fork of the CyanWorlds.com Engine.
