Title: What's after CB
Post by: Junibeater on December 09, 2004, 06:37:05 pm

Will CB be the last installment and the rest be updates of CB or will be another -B afterwards?

Title:
Post by: tangerine on December 09, 2004, 07:07:46 pm

First updates of CB, then another -B after some time.

Title:
Post by: Altharion on December 09, 2004, 09:57:56 pm

so the updates for CB will just be minor until SB is released?

Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 09, 2004, 10:49:14 pm

T3h Steeeeeeeeeeeel!!!!

*cough*

Yeah, well SB :) Then it\'s version 0.5, then 0.6, then 0.7, I think you get the idea :)

Post by: Zorium on December 09, 2004, 10:58:38 pm

SB?  What does that stand for?

Saphire Blue, maybe...

Minor updates?!! Why?!! )-8

SB stands for Something Blue which is a fan made name.

Yes, SB stands for Sapphire Blue which is an unofficial dev codename for the version after CB. Please note the \"unofficial\", meaning it\'s not certain that it will be used.

Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 10, 2004, 10:47:41 am

lol, it isn\'t Sapphire, and SB isn\'t unofficial :P

(Unless something changes :baby: )

Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on December 11, 2004, 07:30:35 pm

I think one of the devs (I believe it was Talad) confirmed Sapphire Blue as the next code name, unofficially of course.

Title:
Post by: fken on December 11, 2004, 07:47:41 pm

I already said that (but the post was erased... :-|) but sapphire is a very strange and not logical name for the next release of PS...

Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 11, 2004, 08:40:17 pm

Yes, it is strange, and it isn\'t the name :P

Are you sure about that? Please remind me what a Sapphire is, and what color it has... Crystal and blue? Oh! I never would\'ve figured that out on my own. Thank you fken. :)

And for all of you who don\'t get it, let me remind you of the order of releases:

Atomic
Molecular
Crystal...

Now, tell me. How do you make molecules? With atoms. How do you make crystals? With molecules! And what would be a perfect name for a blue crystal? A sapphire... :)

Oooh, that would make a lot of sense...

Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 12, 2004, 08:01:42 pm

I\'ll laugh when you\'re proved wrong Grono :P
It\'s not sapphire.

/me really really hopes it isn\'t sapphire now :P

Title:
Post by: Altharion on December 12, 2004, 08:42:30 pm

i think youre wrong Grono.

it might have been named sapphire later but something blue came out first.

Title:
Post by: swift on December 12, 2004, 08:49:06 pm

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Doubt that Saphire comes after crystal blue.  

I reckon it will be version LW :(

Again !

Post by: Olig on December 12, 2004, 10:05:19 pm

Hehehehe... SB

Planeshift Strong Bad :D

That gives me an idea...

Title:
Post by: Zorium on December 12, 2004, 11:33:17 pm

Grono you could argue that its getting more complex with each release so it may well be OB (Organic Blue).

-Zorium

Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on December 13, 2004, 01:12:03 am

Except that we already know its SB... The question is what \"S\" stands for.

Title:
Post by: Zorium on December 13, 2004, 04:51:52 am

Silicon?

-Zorium

Title:
Post by: Efflixi Aduro on December 13, 2004, 06:00:28 am

I think some people would like to know more about whats after CB than the name :P
So I was wondering. Do the devs have any certain things already planned to put in \"SB\" like how you guys planned to have combat in cb?

Title:
Post by: Androgos on December 13, 2004, 07:46:23 am

Oh oh! I know what the S stands for :D
And yeah, we do have lists for features, \"Post-CB\" lists actually that have waay to much things on it :P

Actually, Sapphire Blue was used by some devs far before CB stuff was even discussed in public, and before the name CB was even officially announced, but does it even matter at all what the next version is called? Let CB come out first, then we can all start worrying.

Not all sapphires are blue.

Your point?

Title:
Post by: Toadhead on December 13, 2004, 07:34:15 pm

well...



First you had atomic blue, everything is build up from atoms, (atoms are also build from some things were I don\'t know the English word for, protons, neutrons and elektrons is that right in English?
Than you had moleculair blue, all molecules are build from atoms.. And now crystal blue, while not all molecules are crystals..




...I dunno

Your point?

You logic: Not all sapphires are blue, therefore the next stage of development can not be named \'sapphire blue\'.

I suppose in retrospect that my point didn\'t really refute this.

But then again, not all atoms are blue, nor are all molecules blue, nor are all crystals blue.

[Edit] I seem to have misread your original post.  \'Note: all sapphires are blue.\"
But this is also incorrect...

I\'m very sure of what I said Gronomist so don\'t try to laugh at me before knowing of what you say !

look :
first even if that\'s no more the case but it doesn\'t matter the atomic is the most little (littlest ? littlelest ? hummm I will think about that untill someone give me that answer...), then what\'s a little less little than an atom : a molecule then a crystal then an oxyd... so Oxyd Blue would be the best name (if you keep a science explanation)...

sorry if I killed your logic... but you know I answer like that cause I like you ;-)

Title:
Post by: Bjorn on December 13, 2004, 08:49:57 pm

The smallest living organism is called a \"Quork\" or a \"Quark\", I\'m not completely sure. This release should have been called Atomic Blue, but Quark Blue doesn\'t sound good; especially not for the first release.

Title:
Post by: fken on December 13, 2004, 10:43:45 pm

atom is a symbol. I know what quarks are but in fact atom is anything else...

The first definition of atom was the most litle entity in the universe or something like that (it\'s pretty hard to explain in english what it is). When suddently a scientist gives the name of \"atom\" to an entity he was sure there is nothing smallest but wasn\'t able to find it in reality... atom is the very good name because of its meaning... and the quark isn\'t the most little entity of the universe in my mind... this is just the most little people are able to feel... for now

PS : atoms and quarks aren\'t alive...

My post was in reference to whats his/her face saying that the perfect name for a blue crystal is a sapphire.

Post by: Shadowfalcon on December 14, 2004, 08:12:57 pm

I think that saphire blue would be the next logical name. I know that not all saphires are blue, but blue IS the color usually associated with saphires. Just like not all diamonds are clear, not all topaz is yellow. But we all still think of clear diamonds and yellow topaz.

Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 14, 2004, 08:21:56 pm

Well it\'s not sapphire so shht  :rolleyes:

Title:
Post by: Junibeater on December 16, 2004, 05:55:25 am

Dude, it\'s just a name; like Doom, Half Life, Kill Zone, Empire Earth, Phantasy Star, etc.  It doesn\'t have to make perfect sense or the the most appropriate set of word for the game, it should just sound cool.

...I personally think Sapphire Blue is a cool enough name, and if that\'s not the name, so be it.

Title:
Post by: Adeli on December 16, 2004, 06:22:45 am

Well, for the sake of all those who worry about logic of names...
Shouldn\'t it have started with Particle?
The chain goes Particles into Molecules.
Or even Elemental?

Fun fact, Sapphire is a fancy name for a blue diamond.
Blue Diamond Blue just sounds silly though.

When I still had time to write my story, I did a lot of research into crystals.

In terms of logic, Crystal Blue -> Sapphire Blue seems silly.
I\'d rather have a cool sounding name than a logical name though.

Ruby and sapphire are varieties of the same mineral: corundum. Corundum is aluminum oxide, which is the second hardest material known (after diamond).

(littlest ? littlelest ? hummm I will think about that untill someone give me that answer...)

I think the smallest organ is fken\'s brain.. Ok that wasn\'t funny, I know :P

And to be logic, the next release would be MB. (Yes.) Why?

Vertex Blue
Line Blue
Polygon Blue
Mesh Blue

So no further discussions about sapphires, diamonds and any other scientific material.


Another theory, the next release is called \"Smiley Blue\". Why? :):)):D:P:O:]

so theres only one more argument that can be used to say that the next release is still up for guessing... Talad lied and the real name has been withheld from the public (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/images/icons/tongue.gif)

but anyway planeshift has to stop being blue sometime... mmm planeshift leafy green

Alright, since we have the name for the release after CB, let\'s find what the one after SB is called. Otherwise this thread will have to be closed and disappear...ed... So get going.
