Content Team

From Wynncraft Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Content Team (CT) is the group of people who add various content to Wynncraft. Whether it is buildings, quests, mobs, items, music, or art, you can bet someone here put it into the game. Most CT members are volunteers. The Content Team is not to be confused with Wynncraft's Developers or Moderators.

On this page, you will find lists of Developers and active Content Team members.

There are multiple branches of the Content Team: Game Masters (split into Quest Designers, Cutscene Makers, Mob Designers, and Writers), Builders, Scripters, Quality Assurance, Item Makers, Ability Designers, Composers, Modelers, and Artists.

If you want to join the Content Team, you can apply for most of those roles here.

Developers

The Developers are the people who work in the more technical side of content creation - the coding. These people are programming wizards and create all of the features you see in-game and on the website. Additionally, Developers take care of Wynncraft's infrastructure, making sure you have a smooth experience!

Developers are hired directly by the CraftedMovie team.

Managers

These people are the right hand of Grian - they plan out new requests and lead the Content Team alongside him.

Game Masters

Game Masters (GMs) are responsible for creating playable content in Wynncraft. They work with YAML (.yml) files and Wynncraft's proprietary scripting language to deliver Quests, Discoveries, Minigames, Events, Lootrun Challenges, Mobs, and more. Game Masters can be Quest Designers, Cutscene Makers, Mob Designers, and Writers. Most GMs on the Content Team work across several of these roles.

Builders

Builders are responsible for creating Wynncraft's landscape and structures. They work with plugins such as WorldEdit and VoxelSniper to deliver aesthetically pleasing and, just as importantly, gameplay-friendly builds for Wynncraft. Builders work closely with GMs on the layout of levels for quests and discoveries, so they need an eye for detail, the ability to collaborate with others, the ability to create interesting levels, and the knowledge of what makes builds beautiful. As a collective, Builders influence world design and game design on a macro level.

Scripters

The task of Scripters is to create all kinds of dynamic features in Wynncraft. In the past, Minecraft's command blocks were used for this, but now there is a unique, domain-specific programming language for Wynncraft called WynnScript. This provides Scripters with the ideal tools to make Wynncraft truly interactive or to write libraries for other Scripters and GMs to use.

Scripters need a broad knowledge of programming practices and the ability to apply them to Minecraft, as well as the knowledge of how to design simple, scalable systems. Even though there still is a legacy command-blocker (CMD) role on the Content Team, Scripters are also required to be able to work with command blocks so they can understand and modernize old systems.

Quality Assurance

Quality Assurance (QA) is a role that works with every other role in the Content Team to assure a good user experience. The QA team is tasked with finding, tracking, and eliminating bugs. They assess the quality of designed levels, assess accessibility, ensure good pacing in content at the micro scale and the game at the macro scale, and add barriers where necessary.

Only Content Team members and Moderators can apply to join the QA team.

Item Makers

Item Makers (IMs) work on creating new items and balancing existing ones. They create not only new items, but also new IDs, especially Major IDs, in a similar workflow to the Game Masters. The Item Team works closely with GMs to create items for other content, such as rewards for Raids or Quests.

You can apply here.

Item Makers

Ability Designers

This team works on the Ability Tree: They determine its layout, add or remove abilities, and balance existing abilities where necessary. To get the balance right, they need to communicate mainly with Item Makers.

You can apply here.

Ability Designers

Composers

Composers work on the original soundtrack for Wynncraft, creating the music you can hear in-game. They communicate with many other roles on the Content Team to compose fitting sounds for every area of the game. You can find an overview of Wynncraft's music with links to listen to it here.

Composers are usually hand-picked from within the existing team, but it is possible for non-members to receive a message from management (typically Salted) if they are talented, active in the Wynncraft community, and often display their work.

Composers

Modelers

Modelers work in multiple disciplines with the same shared role.

Game Modelers use a proprietary armor stand editing plugin to create complex assemblies of resource pack models and other assets, and then animate them for use as Pets, Mobs, or decorations. Recently, however, Wynncraft has moved away from armor stand modeling.

The other Modelers, sometimes called "Resource Pack Modelers", work with third-party modeling software (namely Blockbench) to create assets for the game like custom mobs, weapon models, or cosmetics.

Modelers are usually hand-picked by Salted. You can apply by messaging him, but it is preferred for you to fill out a form on the forums when he puts one out.

Artists

Artists can also be split into multiple categories that all share the same role.

Painters create official Wynncraft artwork like logos as well as some of the graphical interfaces (inventories, menus) you see in-game. Particle artists work with a specialized file format to create cosmetic particle effects. The Resource Pack team encompasses some the roles of Resource Pack Modelers, but they are also tasked with updating and reformatting the pack for new Minecraft versions. Finally, Skin Makers create textures for NPC skins, and occasionally decorative heads.

The Artist role is not available for applying to.
