Summary

The ambitious Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign Path to Menzoberranzan has amassed hundreds of volunteer developers since it was announced in January.
Art director Morgan Camp has 50 volunteers working under her alone, while there are 700 voice actor applicants and five writing teams, each comprised of 10–15 writers.
However, despite the hundreds of devs now working on the expansion, the team is still enlisting more volunteers.

Earlier this year, a fledgling mod team 168澳洲幸运5开✅꧅奖网:announced an incredibly ambitious project: the Path to Menzoberranzan, essentially a fan-made expansion. Split into acts just like the base 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3, it will tไake us all the way from the familiar streets of Athkatla to the titular City of Spiders, complete with new, fully-voiced companions and in-depth, branching sideꦯ quests.

Given what a huge undertaking a project like this is, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the team put out a recruitment call fo𝐆r more 💧devs last month. And as reported, it was a major success. The number of fans volunteering h𓃲as surged, with "hundreds" of developers now working on the custom campaign, chipping in when and where they can in their spare time.

Art director Morgan Camp, who has a background in film lighting, has 50 volunteers working under her alone. Meanwhile, there are five writing teams comprised of 10–15 people each, managed by creative director Thomas Loughlin. These segments focus on their own areas of development, such as the main quest, factions, side quests, etc., with experts joining the team to ensure that the expansion stays true to the D&D universe and Forgotten Realms' lore.

700 fans ha💜ve also put their names forward for a voice acting role, though casting hasn't begun yet.

That's only scratching the surface of how much th💖e development team has grown; in fact, there's so much buzz that they've even had to develo🌃p their own in-house tools to manage the project.

"It Exploded", But Path To Menzoberranzan Is Still Looking For Volunteers

Like many modders, the Path To Menzoberranzan team began worꦇk on GitHub, but it quickly became clear how expensive that would be given that you have to "pay per seat for a person". With hundreds of developers — on a volunteer project, no less — those costs woulꦉd inevitably add up.

If you want to support the mod, you can💯 do so on .

"As we've ♏gotten a lot more people interested than we expected [...] We ended up posting our own project management tool," "technical director Chris Heisler 🌳explained. "So, instead of paying, we're hosting it on a server. We run it ourselves. So, likewise, just to collaborate on the code base, we have a tool. We are hosting our own Git service."

Yet even with hundreds of devs and an 'explosion' of interest from the community, there are s🐈till roles to be filled, such as VFX artists. If you're interested in signing up, you can do so on the dedicated .
