Oh, @Arch, yes it is, it is a time of drastic rejuvenation and exploration.
[quote=“Arch, post:34, topic:168”]Enjoying how things are shaping up with this so far - we were chatting about this, and honestly this is a great community project. Ye olde FEU spawned the artist-now-known as The Last Promise (formerly Tactics Universe), Serenes Forest had its Serenes Emblem, and FEU2 can have Project Fire Shell. Instead of some sub-par self-insert game, we’re building a community project for use by the community.

Let’s take this one step farther.
Okay so the thing is this. As you said, I don’t want a sub-par self-insert hack. But I think, pretty unarguably, we have some of the best and most experienced hackers around here. So instead of some forum-hack we’re going to do a never-before-seen quality organized community hack. Organization, I feel is the key. Not everyone is good at everything, but then, I feel that peer-reviewing is important. So let me give my rant on how I think this should be organized and then tell me if you don’t think our little community would be up to it, ever.
The idea is this – I want to stress organization and dependancies. We want the people who are good at certain things doing THOSE THINGS specifically. So here I feel like this: What mechanics we implement are dependent on how the game plays which is dependent on story(but story should keep heed to keep interesting ideas). Graphics floats around a bit. So my proposition is this, in a bulleted list:
- After BLAZING SHELL is finished, we use that as a base and the first hack we release based on it will be ours
- We will have the categories of:
- Writing (@Siuloir, @Arch and his friend, optionally/as needed: @SentryDown, @Myke) (Should be mostly taken care of?)
- Eventing (@Arch, @Primefusion, @dancer_A, ~Ash3wl) (Arch counts as the force of two eventors in the personage of one.)
- Mapping (@Primefusion, @AuraWolf, @dancer_A)
- Nightmare-ing/Balancing (@Primefusion(working between the writers and eventers counts as balancing, right?), @SentryDown, @dancer_A, ~Ash3wl) (Shouldn’t be an issue)
- ASM Hacking (Crazycolorz5)(Rofl I can only mention 10 users in a post)
- Spriting/Portraiting/Animating (@L95, @Overlordpichu)(Hacking in ~Jubby)
- Composing (@Siuloir, @Agro) (Should be good?)
- Each category needs 2-3 people
- Each person should limit their work to WHAT THEY DO BEST. They should refrain from being in more than 2 categories.
- By the above two restrictions, we need 6 people minimum to start the project
- The working title shall be Blazing Renaissance(subject to change)
- The working length will be(ultimately decided by the writers, but I think) 5-6 chapters(would be short enough to keep everyones’ interest)
Please reply with whether you’d be interested in any of the categories for this project. This is still just the planning stage, so there’ll still be some things before finalization, so please reply if you are interested to any degree by this. Please include what categories you think you’d be suited for along with your reply. I think this community can really pull off something amazing.
If you want to be included, you must reply.
