Fate/Another Recruitment Post

Translator

Dota 2 has built-in support for multiple languages with localized string, and it would be a waste if we don't make use of it. Join the localization party so the people of your land can enjoy the game in the glory of their own language!

Responsibility

Translate the in-game tooltips and other various lines in the language of your specialization.
Note: I am getting a help from Perfect World staff in regards to SChinese, so don't need chinese translator for a while.

Prerequisite:

1) Strong background knowledge in Fate series and/or Nasuverse

2) Good writing skills in your language, and decent capability in English

• I honestly don't think one needs to be super good at English for amateur translation since most of lines can be run through translator and it usually makes enough sense for that person to interpret them in his own language anyways.

Other Qualifications(Not necessary, but a big plus)

1) Have played good amount of Warcraft 3 Fate/Another

2) Bilingual in your language and English
3) Being able to get in touch with me over time to update strings(new heroes, etc) 

Quality Assurance

It took me couple semesters as CS major to realize I am not the best programmer in the world. What a surprise(4Head). Your job is a hunter; you will pinpoint the myriad of bugs and work with me to fix it up. Yes you can Unleash the Hounds and ruthlessly ruin my face, so long as what's wrong gets un-wronged.

Responsibility

Identify bugs and work with lead developer to fix it

Prerequisite:

1) Lua/KV scripting skills, specially in relation to Dota 2 API 

• You should be decent with scripting in Lua/KV on your own since you are here to fix my crappy code. You don't need to be an advanced Lua programmer however, since most stuffs can be done with rudimentary scripting. Just go over the github to have a brief idea.

2) Familiarity with Warcraft 3 mechanics

• Since the map is based off Warcraft 3, you are expected to know how things roll in the former platform.

3) At least 30 hours of Fate/Another OR 10 different heroes of Fate/Another played on Dota 2 and/or on Warcraft 3

Other Qualifications(Not necessary, but a big plus)

1) Experience in making your own creation with Dota 2 tools

• The experience is most valuable asset, because Dota 2 scripting right now is more about how to deal with gimmicky engine with ACTUALLY working APIs/methods/workarounds, and less about hardcore complex programming. Just a hero is fine. Even better if you have created the custom game before.

2) Github. However the only knowledge you need can be covered within 10 minute tutorial on web.

Particle Editor

I'll be honest here; Large portion of in-game effects suck. I have never tackled with particles before this project and it really shows on some of half-assedly done particles. They need your help. If you have previous experience with particle system from other game engines(be it OpenGL, UE, Unity, or anything), you are welcome to join the crew and create amazing particles that even Ufotable team would cry over.

Responsibility

Work with lead developer to create functional, and aesthetically pleasing particle effect for Servant abilities.

Prerequisite :

1) Enthusiasm to make Fate/Another on Dota 2 a better game

• Self explanatory.

2) At least 300 hours of Dota 2 played

• You can only cherrypick Dota 2 particles to edit when you know what those are.

3) Decent exposure to particle system

• I am not asking you to be super good at creating particle from scratch, since Dota 2 has wonderful array of templates you can take advantage of. However, you are expected to have the basics down.

4) Co-operative personality

• You will be working closely with me to put stuffs together, and I would much prefer someone who is not a douche.

Other Qualifications(Not necessary, but a big plus)

1) Have played good amount of Warcraft 3 Fate/Another

2) Familiar with Dota 2 tools particle editor. If you have not used it, try it now. It is quite similar to other tools such as Unity or Pyro

3) Github. However the only knowledge you need can be covered within 10 minute tutorial on web.

Compensation

Being a poor university student on debt, I cannot promise any fortune. However, I can promise that :

1) You will get all credits for your work. Depending on your career path it might look good on resume to have worked on full featured(or soon-to-be... :p) game.

2) You will have an input on how game changes. The most of works will be likely just me giving you big picture(mandates) and you having your way under that.

If you are interested, submit your application to hermit1007@gmail.com with the following information :

• Steam name : Don't be shy, I won't judge even if your name is xX322Sephiroth420Xx
• Age : Just something I would like to know.
• Country : So I can take timezone into consideration when we work together. I reside in US West for reference.
• Brief amount of Fate/Another playtime : In both Warcraft 3 and Dota 2
• Qualifications : Briefly explain your qualifications in 1-2 paragraphs. Bullet point form is fine too.

NOTE : This is a revision of old recruitment thread with different openings.

Caster(Extra) Overview

Overview 

Caster is a nimble mage hero with sustained DPS and variety of utilities. While she is not optimized for overwhelming an army of foes with devastating Noble Phantasm, her pinpoint burst on low cooldown and prominent ability to save the team from sticky situation allow her to be a great backline support.

Skirmish

Caster's bread-and-butter is Soulstream, the most spammable skill in Fate/Another up to date. With 1 second cooldown at Level 5, it makes for an excellent source of consistent damage output. While Soulstream is not very powerful on its own, its multi-hit properties and spammability make great synergy with rest of her kits. With right setup, she can put a serious hurt on isolated target that matches even more dedicated assassins.

With that said, being primarily sustained DPS with relatively short range and low durability means that she will be always under threat; it's where her Attributes come in.

Fate's Call is very versatile forced teleport that can be used to initiate the team fight or reposition the teammate back to safe zone. It can be even cast on Caster herself for a free Blink - The delay is 0 for point blank distance -.  However, if she is in such dire situation that even two Blinks are not enough, she has another trump card up her sleeve.

Unless she is firmly locked by Crowd Controls of highest quality such as Enkidu or Nine Lives, Caster may activate one of the most powerful escapes in the game by simply pressing one button. While it comes at hefty cost of 15 mana and 50% damage off from Combo, a chance at second life may be a worthy tradeoff.

Team Fight

Once the fight occurs, Caster's main role is to provide adequate support for allies in danger. The most fearful capability of Caster during fully-blown fight is the counter-initiation with her ultimate Eightfold Blessing of Amaterasu.

With Attribute, Eightfold Blessing of Amaterasu effectively becomes an instant silence in huge radius. This can nullify most of initiation attempts and buy a time for team to either retreat or retaliate on advantageous filed.

Synergy

Being a fragile mage hero, Caster thrives in a team composition where there is someone else to take the heat in the frontline. Also, Mantra is great follow-up for Nine Lives.

Caster can make some great clutch saves for this lone swordsman who has to be right on the nose of enemies to get the job done. The revoke from Subterranean Grasp is also a huge asset for Assassin, as it can nullify enemy's attempt to use 3rd Command Seal when targeted by Tsubame Gaeshi.

Subterranean Grasp's global range can be exploited to root the unsuspecting enemy, keeping it within the AoE of devastating beams that are seemingly dodgeable by just walking away. If you want some more fun, cast Mantra on one of these heroes casting beam and teleport them right in the face of enemy legion with Fate's Call.
