Once in a lifetime opportunity!

Post by echcua »

Want to put your stamp on Icesus but can't be bothered coding? Have a flare for writing descs? Sick and tired of the crappy, small descs that are on the stock weapons and armours. Well this is your lucky day, you now have the opportunity to add or even rewrite those descriptions, you can do 1 or many its up to you. Just email the desc+name of item with subject 'item description' to
echcua@hotmail.com and if approved you will have something of your own in Icesus plus a nice pdf award.

Ok through popular demand I have written a list of all items that you can write a desc for. Also here is an example of a good desc, it should describe the actual item, what makes this item unique from others and if short a little desc of either why its called it or why it was developed, also it should refer to other weapons eg. its like a mace except blah. For example

Code: Select all

"executioner's sword":
      "A long and heavy sword with a flat blade made of "+
      "MATERIAL. The blade has parallel edges and a blunt tip, "+
      "and the handle is long enough to ensure a good grip. "+
      "As the name implies, this type of sword was developed "+
      "from the sword used by executioners to behead "+
      "criminals.",
I think is a good desc, if you have other ideas just propose them I don't bite :D

Code: Select all
