Team Recruiting Team for a Fully Customized PvP & War-Oriented OpenTibia Server

[deramsez]

Hello OTLanders!

Are you passionate about OpenTibia development? Do you want to be part of something unique, ambitious, and never-before-seen in the OT scene? Then this project might be exactly what you're looking for!

I am currently assembling a team to develop a fully customized OpenTibia server with a primary focus on PvP and War mechanics. My goal is to introduce fresh, innovative systems that redefine how wars and combat function within OpenTibia, setting a new standard for competitive gameplay.

Why Join This Project?​

• Completely Unique Features – This will not be just another OT server. We are building something truly fresh, never seen before in the community.
• Structured Teamwork – We will split objectives efficiently so that everyone can contribute based on their expertise, making development smooth and effective.
• Well-Defined Vision – The project already has a strong foundation and direction, ensuring we stay on track and reach milestones.
• Aiming for Quality & Longevity – This isn’t a short-term project. The goal is to develop a long-lasting server with a stable, dedicated player base.

Who Am I Looking For?​

We need passionate and skilled individuals who are serious about working on a high-quality OT project. Here are the key roles I am recruiting for:

• C++/Python/LUA Developers – To build and optimize unique systems, combat mechanics, and server-side improvements.
• Game Designers – To help refine the PvP/War systems, balance mechanics, and create an immersive experience.
• Mappers – To craft dynamic war zones and custom maps that enhance competitive gameplay.
• Pixel Artists – To design custom sprites, UI elements, and visual assets.
• Testers – To rigorously test mechanics, ensuring smooth and balanced gameplay.

List will change over time!

About Me & My Experience​

I am 27 years old from Sweden. I have been developing OpenTibia servers since 2011, when I first started coding LUA as a 12-year-old script kiddie for Counter-Strike: Soruce back when you could modify the game using Lua Hooks, other than that I made a lot of mods for Grand Theft Auto. Over the years, I have created more than 30 OpenTibia servers, some of which included top-tier community mappers. I am deeply passionate about server development, scripting, and continuously expanding my skills by exploring new programming languages and solving complex challenges. I am also interested in decompiling software to look under the hood, and bug bountying, like when I explored the Paypal System bug in GesiorAAC many years ago which were critical bug. Everything related to programming and becomes a challenge is what I live for.

Currently, my primary focus is Python and web design (various languages), with proficiency in C# as well. These skills will be leveraged to create custom features for the OpenTibia client, including a custom-built anti-cheat system and enhanced interface menus.

Concept Highlights:​

Here are a few teasers of what we are working on:

• Reworked Combat Mechanics – A dynamic, skill-based PvP system where strategy matters more than ever.
• New War Features – Custom team-based objectives, ranking systems, and battle progression.
• Unique Rewards & Progression – A new way to incentivize players to participate in wars while keeping the economy stable.
• Custom Maps & War Zones – Areas designed specifically for high-intensity PvP battles.
• Advanced Guild War System – More than just frags; we are introducing strategic elements to make war fights more immersive.

What’s Next?​

I believe that with the right team, we can bring this vision to life and create a server that stands out in the OpenTibia community. If this concept excites you, let's talk! I am looking for dedicated and passionate individuals who share the same vision.

If you're interested, reply to this thread or send me a private message with:

1. Your skills and experience.
2. Your availability and interest in the project.
3. Any previous projects you’ve worked on (if applicable).

Let's build something extraordinary together!

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
Regards, ramsez!

Additionally, I wish I could provide more pictures related to this thread. One of my almost finished OT projects, which I worked on solo for six months, was unfortunately deleted along with all data. It was a fully customized server featuring a custom map, unique systems, a modified client, interfaces, launchers, anti-botting created in seperated programming language (not anything lua related netiher from server or client) -- and more.
The forum pictures I have shared are purely for design inspiration, as I appreciate well-crafted interfaces and aesthetics. While I’m not a fan of Discord, I plan to update this thread with more images from my latest work if I find them.
