An.... Introduction I quess?

Well, hello I guess. I've been watching this project for a while and I've become really interested in it, especially because I've quickly gotten bored of the complete disregard of science in Spore. So, I feel like I could help out on the forums here mostly with scientific-related... stuff. Although I also am capable of making really good advertisements/trailers/any other word you'd like to use. I feel like this is way too short of an introduction, but I'm not quite sure on what I'm supposed to put here. Also this:

:afro: 

Welcome, I've always wondered: Is that an Afro Smiley, or a Smiley standing near a hole?

Welcome, sounds like your experience in trailers and stuff will be useful in later months!

I think I'll mostly be doing things in the strategy mode section and the society stage section, mostly because that's really interesting to me and I really love pre-industrial history (Rome, Egypt, Greece, Aztecs). I also intend to put up some concept art in, obviously, the concept art section.

Welcome to Thrive!

The concepts of the game are basically finished. Do you have any skills in game development that you could help out with?

Well I'm not much of a programmer, but I could help with social systems such as packs, groups, colonies, tribes, cities, all the way from multicellular to industrial stage. I would also like to do at least a little bit with helping to design menus and options. Also, much later in development, I would like to make some sort of trailer. If by concepts, you mean concept art then... I really had no idea, the concept art section seems to be reasonably active.

I'm not sure what you mean by social systems, but the concepts for the society model are already laid out. And by concepts I mean concepts, not concept art. Concepts just means ideas for the game.

Meaning social interactions such as packs, colonies, groups, tribes, cities, etc.... Just how people/creatures interact with each other. And I was wondering where the finished lists and concepts would be found for the later stages. I would just like to know more clearly what's going on.
