First off, thanks for your interest in helping the development of Lambda Wars. We are currently searching for developers in the following areas:

Web-based Game UI (High Priority)
- Work involves Main Menu (match listing, options, etc), Post-game statistics, Hud Elements, etc
- Experience with HTML, CSS and Javascript
- Game uses Chromium Embedded Framework, so only need to target one browser and version (ingame dev tools available)
- Samples of previous work required

Voice Actor/Announcer (High Priority)
- Ingame announcer for events such as "Building under attack" and "Need more requisition"
- Rebels and Combine announcer
- Samples required

Particle Artist
- Experience with Source Engine Particle editor
- Tasks include to add new effects (e.g. building explosions, UI related, etc) and replace effects using the old system (e.g. muzzle flashes, bullet tracers, smoke trails, projectiles, etc).

3d Artist
- Advanced experience and proficiency with 3dsm or equivalent
- Experience compiling models and getting them in-game in Source
- Ability to texture and/or animate also highly valued but not necessarily required

- Familiarity with Source engine materials formats and getting textures ingame
- Ability to create world, HUD/interface, and model textures

Level Designer
If you are a Source level designer, feel free to create a map for HL2W. We provide complete resources to do so; you can find a lot of information on the WarsWiki and in the Community Maps forum. We are not currently accepting level designers as full team members, but in the future we will recruit a few dedicated mappers and the best candidates for those positions will be people with successful custom maps for HL2 Wars. We also will include any excellent custom maps in future releases of the mod.

In the near future we will also be looking for Voice Actors and Playtesters, so stick around. If you think you can contribute in a way not listed, please feel free to get in touch with me about it. To apply for a position listed above, please post a thread in this forum with the topic title stating your intent to apply, with the following information in the post:

Name (first is fine)

I added one entry for "Web-based Game UI designer".

We still got a lot of UI work left to do before Steam release, which involves:

• Online matches list (divided in pre-match game lobbies and matches in progress for spectating)
• Post-match game statistics, e.g. graphs showing the resource income, kill counts, etc
• Main Menu (partial done)
• Game Options (keyboard bindings / GPU options). Currently various camera option settings are missing and can only be customized using the console.
• Game lobby (list of players, selecting map and game settings)

Most of our Game-UI is still from Alien Swarm, but needs to be replaced/customized for Lambda Wars.

I guess I sorta fit into a contributor XD since, I report bugs, I helped in making and designing the achievements, the riot cop is here because I made a post about him doing voice acting at the moment...
