What is the Guild of Writers?

The Guild of Writers is a community of artists and programmers working to create or learn to use existing 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.

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:

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.
