By creating very simple maps, we would have the opportunity of shaping the overall world of our new server. This will help us add quests where they need to be, thus more people will be able to help the development of the project without being restricted by the small space we currently have on the live test server.EJlol wrote:How does this speed up development?
Because it could waste time to set them up.gumi wrote:why do we even need a vote? it's a no-brainer
Code: Select all
(03:25:17 AM) Akko_Teru: I don't think of skeletal maps as speeding up development per say, but as an invitation for others to create maps when they can learn ideas from the abstract skeletal ones. A similar proposal was put forward several years ago called "tron tiles".
(03:28:36 AM) Akko_Teru: To avoid the pitfall of "Tulimshar" mapping, Call on the developers to remain focused on one idea at a time so that other maps aren't abandoned out of lost course.
(03:33:46 AM) Akko_Teru: A solid idea doesn't need a test server unless it alters the state of quests and items in a way that might corrupt player data once retracted.
(03:46:24 AM) Akko_Teru: If we did TMW content and mapping in the same way as Aurora project development had been done, with solid direction and one person able to ensure progress regardless of who chips in, that is what has always worked well, from "the graveyard" of 2009 to Aurora 1 of 2016.
(03:52:31 AM) Akko_Teru: I've already purchased a bunch of "Kenny asset packs" which are public domain but only of minimal SVG quality. The RPG set is not much, and will need to be resized. There are no dungeon tiles or sea tiles, but that can be nailed on.
