Item descriptions
« on: September 15, 2005, 09:00:00 am »
\"The game now supports the feature to add a description to any static object (like trees, statues, roads, stones, furniture, etc...). We just started using it, but you can right click on the book in the new room of laanx temple to get its description. We plan to add many descriptions to give more deepness to the background.\"

How can I help with descriptions ?

Should I just write some flavour text, and then pass it to a dev ?

I\'m pretty sure that with such things, the devs already have descriptions in mind. If you think you have something out-of-the-ordinary however, you can try catching Acraig, Talad, or Vengeance on IRC (freenode, #planeshift) and sending them a PM. Or email, but that might take ages.. ;)

The best way would be to apply to the team itself, but you\'re going to have to do a bit more than write pretty descriptions :)

Dont underestimate the power of pretty descriptions to enhance the user experience ... I\'ll take notes as I wander thru with stuff that deserves an upgrade.

if you want to see some of these descriptions, check laanx temple or the statue in the plaza. by check i mean right click and view.
<Rux> i wish i could say that narrows it down, but the internet is one freaky place
