Bellum Stellarum (Working Title)

[Error]

I'mma put that to vote, Tiel.

So do we:

0) Work faster and get playable versions out faster, but have an inferior game

Or

1) Work slower and more laboriously, but have a rather better end product?

Are we doing this for profit or fun because I'm here for the fun

Maybe I don't quite grasp the intensity of the work yet, but perhaps we get a beta on the fast one going, then pass development on that ogre to inexperienced people here, while Tiel/fr0st, if we can lure back, work on other version. This gives us something to use to say we aren't vaporware, but enables us to get a superior product in the end. While this course takes the longest, it also gives us the ability to train some people here with coding basics on the inferior version, and perhaps be useful later.

Que nos dios, hm? Not sure what that'd do to workflow, but I guess it's an option.

?

Where does this question arise from?

Also as far as ACH's scheme, that's exactly what the plan was with Aegis. And that didn't work out primarily because there was a disparity in the graphical fidelity between the two platforms, meaning models/textures couldn't be shared between the two, nor even the gameplay format itself. The same holds true here, so I must confess I'm reluctant to consider that as viable.

[Vinyl]

We do the fast one because the project is already running thin, and I don't think we'd really get anywhere with the more difficult one.

[Error]

I'm gonna say fast, maybe the other afterwards, depends. Anyone else have input?

[Saravanth]

Well, it depends wholly on how dedicated/motivated we can be. Slow and qualitative would be more rewarding choice, obviously, but the faster option is still better than ending up with nothing at all.

[ACH0225]

After what Tiel said, I think the quick one is ideal. If we finish that, then we can move on to proper version, but let's just aim for the quick one until we get done with it.

As for fun or profit, I'd say fun and don't expect a profit. If we somehow make some money, let's just put it in some kind of FC fund managed by Proto, who can embezzle/spend on MC server.

[Tell]

I'm currently really confused right now. I get that you guys want to make a quick early version but what engine are we using?

[cannonfodder]

Sometimes I feel like you can't see anything I say, both now and before.

What happened is this: I whipped up something resembling a game in an engine I haven't really provided any information on. Originally I guess the plan was to expand on that, the 'quick' route, but personally I've given some thought to abandoning that prototype and starting over in something else. As that'd take a bit longer - albeit with better results - Error put it up to vote, and that's the current quandary.

Where's your fighter?

[҉]

Just for the hell of it, I advised Tiel to damn the vote and do as he thinks best. It felt kinda bad. I think I prefer my normal persona. Reinserting stick.

I have no issue with Tiel making an executive decision.

Also, we need to restart that damn making-fun-of-yourself RP, it was gud.

You talking about And so it is written... or Cthulu and the boys?
