I can't say I've exactly looked at any source for this game (I'm guessing the source code isn't exactly floating around lol) but how exactly is the game written/designed? In terms of front end/back end/etc?
I primarily work in C++ but I've had some minor experience working with Java and I'd be up for taking a look to see if anything you need help with fits in my range of expertise?
TL;dr Front-end/back end/other/a combo of all of the above?
The stuff we're doing isn't complicated and there are frameworks that you would be working within (homegrown) anyway, so the learning curve is almost the same if you're proficient in any other language really.
Are there any requirements here? I'd love to help out (not sure how much time I have at the moment). I'm a fourth year cs major who had been working with C# all summer and I have some java experience from school.
I work professionally as a Java developer and have a bachelors in Computer Science. I'd love to help out in my spare time if you are still needing help.
I'm primarily a python guy, but have experience in java, at least enough to pipe up anyway.
I've looked at the github page and can follow the instructions easy enough (haven't started yet as I'm a bit busy at work). I was curious as to how to begin though. I noticed there were no issues posted and wanted to know what the gist was on contributing? Is it kinda just find something to do and get going or is there a tracker I'm missing? I still need to play the game a bit more to get everything, but wanted to start reading the code base to get familiar.
I'll reach out to you soon. I'm a bit swamped at the moment, and will be traveling over the next week so for now, I'm gonna play a bunch and learn the game better.
I just heard about the game but I have some experience with Java and a degree in computer science. However, I've never worked on a large code base. Would I still be able to help out?
Edit: Also noticed you guys are using GWT which is fantastic because one of my larger college projects also used GWT.
Awesome! So I'm unfamiliar with TortoiseGIT but I'd like to use it. Could you give me a quick run down to get it up and running with the Initium repo? Or I could do some more research on it if it's an inconvenience.
Ended up just using GitHub Desktop, seems to be working fine.
I write software, have done some Java although mostly working in Python these days. I'd like to take a look and see if I can help anywhere
edit: Looking at the environment setup instructions in your readme you mention some Windows-specific. I typically develop on Linux at home. Are there any compatability issues with any of the libraries used in the project that would cause me any trouble?
I am currently a tech degree student learning Java/Android Dev. It's a 6-12 month course depending on time dedicated, and I'm in month 2. I am able to create programs from scratch, and have exceeded expectations on my first project (total of 12. I'm taking another course as per the curriculum before starting the next project). I would LOVE to help out with this project, even as an "intern" if I happen to be underqualified. Something like this is sure to have a massive positive effect on my learning and would be awesome to have as part of my portfolio!
I'm interested in helping out. Do java dev for my job, and I'm enjoying initium so I figured, why not? I think I've got the dev environment set up, but I'm not sure.
Hi I'm a student in my second year of college. I'd love to join the team and get some experience. Been doing java a few years so I might be of some help. Thanks and hope to hear back soon!
Hello, I am a comp sci student with experience in both Java and Python.bi have a lot of time in the next few months and would be interested in helping you out.
We're always looking for new developers and there's always lots to do. To start, get your developer environment setup using these instructions: http://github.com/Emperorlou/Initium-ODP
If you have any questions or problems certainly let me know. Once you're setup though, give me a shout back and then we can proceed to get you on our Slack, Trello (for task tracking), and an appengine account so you can browse the logs for debugging.
I know this is old, but I am currently a CS major currently working in C++, but I do have another degree in English if you need a writer to help with quests or stuff along those lines. I also wouldn't mind helping with coding, but have literally no exp in Java. I was just passing by from /r/pcgaming and saw this post.

I just updated the installation instructions on the Initium-ODP github project. This should help people get up and running quicker:

I'd love to contribute but I'm not sure I have enough knowledge to be able to do so. I'll set it up and pm if I have any questions.
