Hello, I'm working on a project that seeks to be the ultimate resource for tribes. I am looking to release coinciding with ARK's release, and a lot of the work is already done. I need a partner (or two) who is very passionate about ARK to keep me motivated and help with various aspects of setting the site up.Hello, my name is Jt or TelFiRE, you can call me either! I am a 25 year old web developer* and UX designer from Salt Lake (soon to be moving to Colorado). I am a huge fan of ARK ever since shortly after it came out. I have been in many tribes, and currently don't actively play in a tribe because of how much is on my plate, but I absolutely love the game and will keep playing it off and on for years to come.*I'm not a programmer, and some people would argue with me calling myself a web developer. But I can make a highly functional, secure site, and I think I can bring a great tool to the community, which is why I'm doing this.You should deeply enjoy ARK as a game, and see yourself playing it for years to come. Ideally, you will have owned a server and/or tribe in the past, but you should definitely have some experience seeking tribes and servers in ARK.You should also have a good writing voice as well as quality spelling and grammar. You should be someone who can get really excited and passionate about a project that is aimed at the community of ARK and plan to participate in helping the project on a regular basis.If you have experience with Drupal it'd be amazing, but I fear that it's unlikely to find much overlap between Drupal developers and ARK players.You will be a partner. If this site makes money (and that's a big if, currently I can only optimistically hope it somewhat offsets its own expenses) you will get a piece of it. Please don't let that be your motivation, I only say this to make it clear I'm not trying to get free help and then get rich. This project may never even be in the green. I want someone who is very passionate about ARK and just wants to help bring an awesome tool to the community.The project is ARKTribes.com . The goal is to be a highly searchable directory of tribes. Currently, most tribe "directories" are either very crude searchable databases, or simply forums. I believe what I've developed so far is already better than what's out there, and I believe with a bit more love we can make it great. In addition to being a tribe directory, I hope to provide many tools to tribe owners (and potentially server owners). Although many of these features may come after release, some examples might be message boards for each tribe, tools to keep track of members, tribe dinosaurs, more customization options for the tribe page so that it can serve as a tribe website, etc.The framework is already done. Some of the design is done. What I need the most from someone right away is just to bounce ideas off of and help make decisions about how things are going to be.Part of this is some market research. I would like you to put together a few surveys (I already have tech to make this easy) and get some members of the community to answer them.I will also need to fill the site out with some written content including news articles, help articles, and other bits of written content. When the time comes, you will also be helping to get the first tribe owners and server admins to post their communities to our directory.I need someone who loves ARK to help finish an ARK website. Seriously though, please read the post if you're interested :PFeel free to ask questions in this thread (or if you prefer Reddit here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/playark/comments/47a3sz/looking_for_partners_passionate_about_ark_skilled/) If you are interested or want to contact me privately, please add me on Steam.Thanks for reading!
