Research and Editing Help Wanted
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2016 10:17 pm
It's time to replenish our research team as we prepare the next version of the game. We're looking for volunteers to help us get the database updated for the 2016-17 season, including both roster moves and ratings updates for players and staff. We've recently finished updating our internal editing tools to make the research process a little more user-friendly for both the researchers and ourselves, and after some testing they're now ready to be introduced to new researchers.
Right now, there are a few specific researcher spots we're looking to fill in particular, so if you have some knowledge of one of these leagues/areas you'd be of particular interest to us:
Germany (very important for us. With the game now available in retail stores we want to go down as deep as possible over time)
England
France
Norway
Sweden
Switzerland
Western Hockey League
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League
Asia League
(Since some of those areas cover multiple leagues, it may make sense to have multiple people sharing the research duties for them.)
We'd also like to hear from people who'd like to work on other leagues, including nonplayable ones. But please bear in mind that we already have our teams set for many of the more popular leagues, so we're much less likely to be adding researchers for the NHL, for example.
We need people who can step in and begin work immediately, and work fairly steadily over the next 2-3 months. The amount of work involved will vary by league: some of them are small and/or are already fairly up-to-date and won't require that many changes, but others will require more intensive work.
Finally, we'd also like to add a small number of people to work on the game's text database, mainly news stories/email alerts but also things like play-by-play.
If you're interested in volunteering for the research team, please send me a private message and let me know exactly what you'd be interested in working on (please be specific), as well as a little about yourself, particularly if you've had experience doing this sort of work before.
To join our team you need to sign a NDA document. As thank you you get early access to FHM 3, the final version for free and in addition all other OOTP Development games. You also can join the development talk and help to make FHM 3 as good as possible.
