New volunteer coder

[Nalmann]

Hello there,
Does anyone know what is the best way of volunteering some coding time?
I really would like to try to code something for the game, but I'm not a writer, so I'm asking if there is someone that has written a character or simply another scene and wants some help in translating his scene/event/npc in game ready code.
I'm new to this but I really wold like to give this a try in order to make the scene more easy to implement in the game.

Join the public discord and ping Fenoxo about this. If you're interested then there's plenty of small stuff to hand out still.

make sure you have a demonstrable portfolio of work to show

I was also wondering about this. Also, where is the public discord? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

… Damn it. Why is every single opportunity for me to gain experience in anything always gated behind already having experience in that thing? I don't want to sound like I'm blaming anyone specifically, but it's just something that keep popping up in my recent life.
Seriously, though, I've spent enough time on the TiTS Public GitHub that I'm confident I know enough about how the code works to be a good volunteer coder (assuming I don't have to develop new game mechanics).

Here you go.

@TheShepard256 : I don't feel that's too bad, I was just thinking to go in the submissions section and code a modest event of some sort. It is just too prove that you are up to the job and that you are not wasting the team time, the fact that the code is so readable, it's somewhat a testament of the good gate-keeping they are doing.

@William. & @SoAndSo Thanks for the advice!

Your first step is going to be to install FlashDevelop, grab the latest public build from GitHub, and get it to compile.

That was the first thing Fen had me do when I originally volunteered.

Here is a link to get you started. https://forum.fenoxo.com/threads/guide-to-using-tits-source-code.10155/

You don't need to apply for a resume or something, don't worry about experience. Talk to Fenoxo about it, as said, he might defer you to one of the code demons or something.

Just to be sure I converted a small submission as proof of basic capabilities. I already contacted Fenoxo by mail now I'm waiting for an eventual response
