Or something ;)
Anyway, the FSF thread seems to be getting long, and there are people who are playing in the thread who may not want to actually be counted as participants.
So, if you want to be "in this thing" send an email to [email protected], I'll tally em up, and hand over the list to whoever ends up being in charge.
What would be helpful in this email:
Your name
Your resume (even if there's nothing techncal on it, if nothing aelse a list of projects in the community you have worked on if any. Even a being grocery bagger tells a project lead something, probably means you can take crap from people with a smile, for example ;)).
Your portfolio or link to it
What you want to do on a project like FSF (I'll keep project leads in a seperate pile, we'll figure that out later).
Anything else you have in mind.
Someone needs to go thru the FSF thread and grab all the design elements and list of decisions that needs made. IF this doesn't get done, I suppose I can do it, but that would not bode well for this project in terms of interest :) So, and PLEASE someone else think about being a volunteer.
Where's my coffee...
-
email sent :nod:
-
sorry if i missed this, but what is fsf?
-
Freespace Forever, there's a 4 page topic on it a few threads down :)
-
thats one hard thing to miss... THE FREESPACE FOREVER PROJECT (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,6763.0.html)
-
O, that programmers unite thingy...wish i could help, but programming isnt my field. If theres something else i can do to help, let me know.
-
But after programming it goes usual FS editing.
Well I sent the mail. :p
-
I would send the mail, but I dont have access to my mailbox. Would a PM do??
-
Srry, but I'm not quite sure by what you mean by portfolio (sp?), what is it?
-
Well I have to put together a resumé for college "internship" submissions anyway, so I'll just send over a copy to you when I am finished. ;) Do you just want stuff relating to this project or any accomplishments? (i.e. knowledge of multi-var calculus and PDEs probably won't be very useful here :p)
-
PM's will make me do extra work, it can wait till you get your email ;)
A portfolio is your "book of representative work" usually art, sometimes code examples, depends.
Think of Sounds of Thunder, I'd call that an art portfolio for our man, T ;)
-
Thanks dude :D
-
gw inqui
-
Call me still asleep, but "gw"?
-
Good Work :nod:
-
DOH!
Ok, I AM still asleep :)
-
i think anyone who want to get in, should be able to get in
i mean if they have something to contribute, (for example even ideas, scripts etc etc)
i'll send mine in soon
-
We tried that with Cold Legacy but if you rely on people and they pull out for personal reasons or being lazy or whatever then your in trouble because you have a work load that has to be shifted elsewhere and other people might not be able to help.
-
<------ and still got free time:D
I'll Think about it.
-
Keep 'em coming.
Remember, don't make me guess where your work is, gimme links if you have them.
Send it, whether your artist, story, programmer, manager.
Also remember, I'm not in charge, just taking the initiative to collect 'em all in one place.
-
Hmph. Those renders don't deserve a response?:D
-
I could help with the standard mission editing eventually...
-
Hmmm... not yet. :)
-
Click my www-icon for the stuff I do. It's just a placeholder for images I post.
-
No offense, but, please, SEND me your resume, don't make me go hunting around for it.
Trying to guesstimate serious interest, so, take the time out and write an email, if you don;t have a resume, it's good practice to write one up ;)
And I got one email that says "I hope you know who I am" and while I MAY, links are always nice :)
Pretend it's the first deliverable ;)
I smile alot, can't you tell?
-
Once you get the engine written, I can do any 3D Design work that needs to be done... (i.e. models, animation, interface ect...):D
-
I called it first!:p
-
;7 Good, you're both gonna be doing it then /;7

That's the purpose of the word "eventually".

Here's mine, figure its only fair to show you who I am. If anyone is interested, I'll post my project credits and my bibliography of published works.

k, resumes seem to have stopped, I count 14 various folks with a wide range of skills. Not counting Kazan. Lemme collate them all, post what I think we "need."
Oddly, no project manager types, and really only one programmer type. Lots of art, which fro mthe audience, I suppose is to be expected.
-
Thread stuck.
And I think a lot of people (myself included) are aprehensive of joining the project at it's start since nothing of substance is there yet. I'm confidant that a lot of people will be eager to help out in some small way once a basic engine or whatever is complete.

Ha ha! Sweet, a fellow geologist!
-
Yeah, agreed Thunder.
And you knew that Shrike ;)
-
ha and KSU is about a 7 minute drive to my house
-
Excellent. If you are of age, got some GREAT little dives you should visit (but if you are of age, you probably already know about them ;)).
Have you been following the engine threads, Phreak?
-
im 17 now, will learn about those places soon Inqui. :nod:
I read dave's comments and the whole engine thread, pretty good ideas floating around. I'm busy with schoolwork ATM though
-
Just checking. Schools more important than just about everything else, so ;(
Too bad. Kent's a decent school, if they can drop the whole "May 4th" thing.
Ok, back on topic.
-
And, now that I am back, serious work can commence.
You guys done anything while I was gone?
:)
-
Left, and returned with my own idea of a good time.
By the way, I also have gotten a few mildly prestigious awards for things that have nothing to do with 3D rendering while I was out, and I wanna know if we're converting FS models or making completely new ones before I decide...
I've got some new models (500 polys to over an estimated 2 million on one), and I'd very much like to use them here, but they're... different than the standard FreeSpace types. In that they look like anything but fighter planes and flying boats.

Oh, not much. The freespace 2 source was released, same old, same old... :D
