Cheers guys!

I'm Fabian, one of some guys who had a crazy idea of creating a rust-themed RP economic server. Yeah, this probably sounds like your 100th server introduction post you've heard before, and you probably ask yourself why you should even waste a single second to get into it. After a short talk on Discord however, I'm probably sure, that I will be able to convince you to do so!

I am a webdeveloper myself and tried out some rust modding myself. Due to time constraints (because of my job) I am sadly not able to fully follow through with everything, eventually requesting help from other developers around here now.

I am searching for long-term partnerships in development. We do have a small and basic concept ready, but need to confirm with developers what is actually possible and what not.

Basic idea: A somewhat military-based roleplay economic server. The basic story is that you managed to flee from a foreign regime, and came to that new island, which is currently trying to build up it's status. The police has just founded and the self-elected government is trying to enforce rules and get the hang of the location, but: Rebels are forming up and want to overthrow the government. A lot of the aspects are taken from the Arma3 Altis-Life mod, in case anyone has played this.

A lot of stuff has to be done to achieve that goal, and I am currently seeking for a team which is able to put in the effort in all directions. Plugins which are 100% required as of right now:

• Character system (Every player can have multiple characters in different roles such as civ/cop)
• Role-based system (Civilians, Rebels, Cops, Medics)
• Custom spawns, spawn zones and spawns based on roles
• Basic economics (ATM, money)
• Simple jobs (Getting a ressource (e.g. stone) -> Getting it to a processor -> Selling it)
• Database connection for after-wipe scenarios, in which inventories and money are safed

I always loved working on such things by myself, but time is not available right now. I'm searching for experienced developers who are at least verified on uMod or have similar experience (e.g. other platforms, proven work for other servers, ...).

My plan is to get everything going within the next 3 months with a team of about 2-3 developers. In case you are interested in working on this project feel free to DM me here or on Discord: Astinox#0428!

Cheers and thanks to the uMod team for creating such a great piece of software!

Multiple devs - in 99% case shitty code + compatability problems + no responsibility for their own plugins

1-2 devs is the limit

3 months might be a little short of a timescale when creating all that stuff from scratch as I imagine that those devs will have other things going on in their life and won't be able to dedicate all of their time to creating it. Unless you're paying them a full time wage of course.

Thanks for your feedback!

Regarding the dev limit, as said in the DM, I think that a single developer is probably not enough to go through all of that stuff. While it might result in a bit of struggle regarding code quality / overlapping codestyles, I strongly believe that teamwork is usually making things easier. However, I have no idea of the rust developer scene, so would have to check that out for sure!

Regarding the timescale: Yeah, this was just an estimate to think how long it could potentially take. All I can take as a reference is my own experience from web development, and game development is probably way harder in some edgecases. No one should be dedicating all their time to it, by any means, this is still just a hobby project and full time wages are no way near that!

Even if it takes 6 months at the end, let it be! I can at least help and provide the structure of the database, the concept and most of the features with in-depth descriptions how things work, so a lot of the "theoretical" problems will be solved.

Thanks for the feedback you both!
