🎯 What Is Joint Operations Central?

Joint Operations Central is a neutral ground where ARMA 3 communities meet, strategize, and build immersive operations together. Think of it as a network hub for mission planning and event coordination, bringing together seasoned creators and fresh talent alike.

And the best part? It’s working.

🌐 Over 400+ players strong—and growing every week
💥 Regular games average 130 active players per mission, creating massive, coordinated battlefield experiences

We’re not just hosting events—we’re designing multiplayer experiences from the ground up.

Key Features:

🧩 Cross-Community Collaboration
Representatives from different ARMA 3 groups work together on joint missions.
🧠 Creative Synergy
Exchange scripting, mission concepts, and playtest feedback in real time.
🛡️ Neutral Ground Rules
No drama, no hierarchy. Everyone moderates their own space with mutual respect.
📣 Promotion & Discovery
Showcase your events, community, or mods. Find players or plug into an existing op.

🧱 Level Design: The Heart of the Experience

At the core of Joint Operations Central is level and mission design—something I’m deeply passionate about. Here’s a look at the philosophy and skillset that fuels our creative process:

🧠 Core Skills

Design Sense: Balancing flow, pacing, and player guidance. It’s not just about what you see—it’s about how it feels to play.
Gameplay Mechanics Knowledge: Understanding how ARMA 3’s systems work so levels don’t just look good—they play smart.
Spatial Awareness: Crafting 3D environments with movement and navigation in mind, whether open-world or tight CQB.

🎮 Player-Centered Thinking

Empathy for Players: Designing for a variety of playstyles and skill levels.
Playtesting Mindset: Observing players, refining designs, and never assuming you’re the average user.

🧰 Technical & Tool Skills

Editor & Engine Proficiency: From Eden Editor and scripting in ARMA 3, to tools like Unreal and Unity in broader projects.
Scripting Knowledge: Lua, SQF, C#, or Blueprint—if it makes the world dynamic, we make it happen.
Optimization Awareness: Balancing detail and performance to keep servers smooth and immersive.

🎨 Artistic Sensibility

Lighting, Composition, Atmosphere: Visual cues that guide players, not overwhelm them.
Environmental Storytelling: Worlds that breathe history and hint at past conflicts.
Collaboration with Artists: Translating level logic into visual magic.

🤝 Soft Skills

Communication: Bridging design, scripting, and community expectations.
Iteration & Patience: Every test improves the mission—no ego, just results.
Team Collaboration: A shared vision means shared success.

🚀 Bonus Traits

Level Design Theory: Concepts like player pathing, signposting, and three-act mission structure.
Designer’s Eye: Playing games analytically to extract design wisdom.
Modding & Personal Projects: Hands-on experience building from scratch or enhancing what already exists.

🧭 My Role in the Project

As Founder, Host, and Lead Designer, I:

Develop and script missions from the ground up
Design multiplayer experiences rooted in realism and balance
Host and maintain the server infrastructure
Coordinate cross-community partnerships
Yet I am very down to earth and welcome any improvements with newcomers & let them host any of their own events by providing platform & server.

With a background in automotive design, systems management, and digital strategy, I combine structure and creativity to build interactive experiences that resonate.
