From The Mana World

Introduction

Biqcassy, my first character.
Username: Cassy
Real name: Cassandra
Location: Germany
Languages: German, English
Roles: Player, Developer, TMWC member, wiki and forum administration, Tester, Translator
Guild: Phoenix Council and Manas Sauerkrauts Clan (German)


I started as a normal player in March 2013 when the starting area was still in Tulimshar and you needed help, which I luckily received from Arkhen and Itachi (Kazenawa), to find Hurnscald and to get the 1,500 GP you had to pay for the ferry to travel there. My first character was Biqcassy (it's not "Big" with "G", I'm not big <.< ) because the character name Cassy was already in use but now Cassy is me.


I soon became interested in contributing to TMW even though I really didn't know anything when I started. It all started with wiki contribution but also with my first tries to do some pixel art. Eventually I was more and more involved into development and also learned scripting and mapping. I was also asked to join the TMWC and care about other duties such as wiki and forum administration. Of course I gladly accepted.


I'm having real fun helping TMW to develop and as a developer my biggest strenght isn't technical stuff anyway but organization and communication. I feel very well in my positions and am glad I got those offered :-) Of course feel free to contact me in game or through forum PMs if you have any questions that lie within my area of responsibility.


As you can see you don't need to be a "Pixel-Picasso" or a "Code Roboter" to develop, you can learn step by step and it's really not that hard... and most important: it's real fun! So feel free to join ;-)

Personal development overview

If you are interested in what I'm working at and what I've already done, you can have a look at following links:

  • Cassy's personal project overview: This Trello board and this wiki page (the part below) give a good overview of finished projects and those in progress.
  • Dev stuff to-do: A card with notes about development-related things I want to work on.
  • Wiki stuff to-do: A card with notes about wiki-related things I want to work on.
  • Priorities: With all those open points it's always better to keep on overview of the more important topics.

Note that those are my personal overviews. The official ones of TMW can be found here.


Also feel free to take a look at below overviews I'm actually keeping for myself:
