game development proccess

Im not sure but i see that we are worrying about controls and HUDs, I think we should focus on more or less the immediate parts of game development.

what I mean is we should first focus on the game engine and then game concept and graphics engine and then move on like that.

am i missing something or what?

You are missing the fact that the current active developer (myself) is writing code and not worrying too much about the various threads at this point. Being busy studying and all, progress is slow but steady. Also, I am working on another game that is taking up the other half of my spare time (This game i plan to sell, so it kinda takes precedence)

Sorry

and goodluck

Basically, what Bashinerox said--I think you're jumping ahead on this, as right now, we have to work on the engine before filling out all those little crevices and making sure it's absolutely perfect. I personally think we should start from the beginning, working at a slow but steady pace such that we might have a real cell stage later on.. as opposed to having an extremely glitchy, rough and ready version of the complete game on the level of Action 52.

that's sort of what i meant

the way I see it is we are mostly (80-90%) focusing on concept, which isn't bad I just mean some of us are focusing on controls and such and we haven't even got a solid engine yet.

what if we were to split in to groups not solid groups as in every person focuses on one thing but as in developers and programmers/prototypers or visual/control (HUDs and menus) etc.

just an idea

EDIT:not now just at some point

We should put limits so everyone doesnt enter concepts

And no one will ever joing anymore...

This kind of anarchist approach has done us fine so far. I really feel it's the only way to go with internet collaboration projects like this. The wiki has got our organised ideas, and we seem to have a fair bit of actual conceptualising done for a group with no real structure.

your right

but I don't think it will work too well at the later stages of development

We'll see.

At this point we're doing any sort of work that we can- any progress is gfood, any activity that moves our concept forward is fine.

If you've got questions on management, PM me. I'm always open to suggestions, and remember, I'm running this place.
