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.
