1. Create a map (theme/lore inspired by Stargate-SG1, gameplay inspired by LoL)
2. Work on the WiKi (imho the current state of the WiKi isn't suited to attract new contributors/players/fans)
3. L-system and Perlin noise features (we discussed that shortly in irc and people found it to be interesting and worthwhile)

1. There's already several maps in tremulous that have a similar theme :P (btw, tremulous (gpp) maps are compatible with unvanquished, for now)

2. Some of the info there is outdated (particularly the alien class statistics such as tyrant charge damage), feel free to help.

3. I've never heard of this before, I'll look it up later...

I'd say that from least to most work, 2, 1, 3. Map making isn't that hard, you just have to know how to use the program (Net/Dark Radiant) and have the patience and creativity to make good maps.

Anyway, Welcome.

Making quality maps isn't just about knowing how to use a program. It's very difficult.

People said using CAD programs to draw stuff is hard. I use one at school, and the only things I can do on there is draw straight lines and circles (Microstation 95), even in 3D mode (which is a pain to use). It's just knowledge, and creativity/logic, and patience.

Yeah, and that's basically nothing, right?

Knowing how to operate pen and paper does not make you an artist.

This is my portfolio, you can find some photos about personal projects. There are some low poly models, environments, animations and there is a specially site for game projects that I've started with other people. The website is not finished.

My goals are get more experience in 3d design for games. I usually use blender with photoshop.

Thanks you for your help!

Dretch Storm! I used to play there! Which name did you go by?

@edu: Cool, if you want to discuss this further, you should hop onto IRC so we can talk to you directly. There is a chatlink on our main page.
