i am a (novice) mapper.
Aw. Missed the 'more than one' section. but I suppose if I'm honest I've become more PR than anything else *sob* :(
Ah well, I hope to do some mapping over the summer to change that ;)
P.S. You missed out a 'concept artist' option. Or maybe you could change 'texturer' to '2D artist'
Yea i missed it to,
Suprised to see coder so high. Its usally quite hard to find a coder!
i am a leech
Should have had a "Art Guy" option
as in a guy who has to do every feckin' thing from the pebbles on the ground to the player models :(
Textures all the way!
Coders for the future!
Where's the option "make mods all by myself"???
where is animator :OOOO.....
There's also a missing 'Twunt' option.
PR/Manager
...
Managing a team is something completely different from handling PR, plus managing is a far more important job. If you screw up PR, less people will play your mod. If you screw up managing your team, there will be no mod.
PR is the most important, why bother making a mod, if no one will play it
Name me some mods that had dedicated personell for each of those roles. It's just not worth splitting them in two.
"More than one".
Added animator XD
Nobody else does sound?
Leech. I don't know the first thing about programming.
manager, skinner and mapper and prety much anything else we have trouble recruteing for
A bit more than the one thing. I do a bit of everthing. Pity I'm not good at any of it.
Although I'm a web designer (and part PR if you can call it that), I consider myself a leech. I REALLY want to learn modelling/animation (seems like the world needs more animators :P) but I haven't really found the time.
wheres the option for retired?
very good idea of a poll :p good job Moddb :D
30% are leechers!
No graphic work selection:(. Well I guess I do PR then..
writer
mapper......
the whole lock-stock and barrel
Actually, I'm surprised how few are leeches. I figured it'd be about 70% leeches, but they're the minority...
Textures and Sound
Everyone's too lazy to be a coder
Really, I find coding the easiest of all the modding deciples apart from PR and web design.
Wow, more people need to start taking up animation.
The Animator category was added late. Don't put too much store in it yet.
Writing and models.
Modelling for RTW mods and mods for the highly anticipated M2TW.
usually, not always, modellers can do some animation to so animators are either in modeller or more than one.
currently a Texturer..
wanted to be in coding but me switching games alot doesnt really help.
I'm an animator, we are almost instinct!!
I'm surprised Coder is so high as well
I'm a writer, but I'm going into Computer Science at uni this Fall and hopefully change that expertise into "Coder"
I like my hammer, and visual studio - dont leave home with out the installers :)
animator. one of the 13
A lot of the modellers can probably animate as well - or is that just not how it works?
I'm mainly a sound guy (even though I haven't done much lately due to excessive school work), but I can also model a little bit (especially vehicles)
modeler myself, and not a bad one either, might i say so myself...
and to Intense, takes time and patience to animate, and some knowlage of the tools your using, most people tend to neglect certain things or forget to lock a movement in a frame
with gmax and 3ds, its actually a lil like flash...
Sound for me :)
The lack of animators for modding is proving itself here...
Good poll, interesting results and great discussion.
I just want to say that I'm damn glad we met up with GraFix at the Freeplay event where we held our first public showing of Dystopia. An event which I'm proud to say Moddb helped 4 Team Dys members attend.
I also wanted to put forward another job discription for the list; general gopher / tech guy.
I am mainly mapper, but I also do team managment, PR, maintenance and much more
Leech. Sorry. (I can code but I've never done any mod work before)
