Introduction

The skUnity developer programme is designed to give tools, help and visibility to people who create useful tools and functional content for Skript users. The programme is tailored towards people who create tools such as IDEs, syntax highlighters, parsers, addons, Skript-supporting plugins, etc. as well as other Skript-related content.

These tools are the backbone of the community; they help to advance Skript and make it easier for people to learn and use, and help it to become a viable alternative to traditional plugins. As such, skUnity wants to help and promote them.

What do I get?

As a partnered developer, you will receive special utilities to help you create and document your projects, as well as advertising and visibility to help potential users find them. Examples of these include (but are not limited to):

• Graphics and statistics, so you can brand your project and see how it’s doing
• Programming and project design help to assist you in getting started
• A space to explain and document your project, to make it intuitive for users
• A space to provide help and support for users
• Special access to skUnity API for things like documentation and the parser
• Advertising for your project across the skUnity platforms, to help it reach a much wider audience
• A dedicated online centre that provides you with a website equivalent to github wiki, designed to be more Skript-focused and tailored to your needs (Coming Soon!)
• Linking you with other users working on similar projects, so you can get help and assistance and share ideas
• A special role on the skUnity platform marking you as a valuable contributor to the Skript community

There are other special perks being worked on that we can’t disclose at the moment, but rest assured, you’ll find them worth having!

What do I do in return?

Our main goal is to help the Skript community by encouraging the development of new tools to improve and advance what users can do. The skUnity platform has a lot of visibility that will undoubtedly help to promote your project and help you reach a wider audience, along with all of the other tools we can provide.

In return, all we ask is that you help us promote skUnity in your resource pages. We want to make skUnity a home for the whole Skript community, and we would like your help in doing so.

What sort of projects qualify?

We are mainly looking for projects that provide tools or direct support to Skript users, however we are also open to other sorts of projects such as addons or extensions that advance the Skript community as a whole.

Example projects include (but are not limited to):

• Syntax highlighting/helping extensions for common editors
• A fully-fledged Skript IDE to make using Skript easier
• Experiments with parsing or improving Skript itself
• Tools for simplifying the Skript addon-creation process
• Building Skript syntax into your existing plugins to open them up to Skript users
• Addons that open up new possibilities for Skript (such as storage, databases, sockets, etc. as opposed to just Minecraft syntaxes)
• Tools for helping to debug, speed up or improve Skript code

If your project isn’t in this list, it is still worth applying! We are open to considering all types of projects and would love to hear about what you’re creating.

How do I apply?

        Create a post on the forums here describing your project, and the types of things you would need to help you finish and improve it. Make sure to follow the template here.
