General Discussion / Current Access to Public Fan IRC Server
« on: August 09, 2003, 03:01:28 am »
The planeshift.ath.cx address occasionally goes down but it is only a redirector to a part of the network in which the Public channels reside, if you cant get on using that address in your IRC client try irc.undermind.net and you will be able to get on.

Thanks all

what is the hardest ps dev problem the team has come across

I would say the hardest problem for all the devs is getting good people who are interested in a free project like ours, we have a lot of great people on the team, but we always need more
 

do you seriously think that ps will meet the expectations of the ps fans

Some things might be differently to how the fans would like, so it might not meet all fans expectations, but then our own expectations might be more than the fans, We have a lot of ideas that we want that the fans could only dream of.


if so how do u think you guys will accomplish this task

We all come from different gaming backgrounds. We hope to take the best of these different styles to create a game the is fun and hopefully a little different then any other game

We on the team are all just people who really love this kind of game.  All of us are very experienced with games like this and we want to make something that WE consider fun and something we can be proud of.

We are going to work to impress ourselves and make something we enjoy playing.  We hope the fans will also enjoy it. :)


what types of ideas has the team seriously thought about putting in the game

emphasizing group play and teamwork
visually beautiful yet exciting to be a part of
not requiring combat to have a fun and interesting experience
Each idea and feature will be evaluated as we get closer to building them to make sure that they promote these goals and others.

I could give you details but then they might not get implemented later

how far from the finished project do u think the tech demo will be

The difference between the tech demo and the full game will be very extensive,  the more good devs we have the faster we get work done, but there are many stages between AtomicBlue and the full game and even then we will be adding special features
The tech demo is very early, and there are still much more work to be done, no eta yet...
We plan to have a new release every month or two for the foreseeable future--at least a year or two.

in comparison to other mmorpg\'s do u think ps is unique?

Most so called mmorpgs don?t really have a Roleplaying Element, Planeshift will, infact from what I have seen it is the first game to truly take that into account, I believe it is Unique

The uniqueness of PS is going to be in the players... these kinds of games are what YOU make them, moreso than any other type of game ever developed.  The PS team is working to build a world in which you will have great ability to make the game what you want it to be.

do u think that ps will be able to affectively stay free

We are gong to do all we can to keep it free, we have a few ideas to possibly implement to keep it that way, we want it to keep it as free as long as it is possible. If not then we will assess the situation then.

if so what steps have u guys come up with to keep ps free

The PS team is committed to keeping this game either free or as cheap as possible.  No one will ever make a penny off of this game.  We have many ideas to cover our costs, but none are workable to investigate until we are further along.  We will keep you posted.

at ur site u say that u will be able to create stats and define a little bit of your players characteristics. What does that exactly entail

Well, you can see the different character creation screens to see how the races balance out. You can also adjust some of their basic attributes such as strength and intelligence.

We plan to have an extensive creation process where you can select a large number of character attributes.

if this is playable by users with 56k why is the file so large and what will you guys do to make sure the 56ers aren\'t left out

The file is large to contain the models, and sounds, music etc, so you don?t have to download them which would be worse on a 56k user if they had to download them every time they wanted to play, the file will get larger as we get further in the design process, More songs, more maps, models etc

As we add more advanced features to the game, users on slow connections will have the ability to change the level of detail or turn off certain features if they feel their connection is too slow to take advantage of those features.
That is true of graphics cards, processors, etc. also.

GDC just wants to get it out of the way, im getting some of the higher ranked members to vote, but i dont think asking everyone would be a good idea lol, too many people, would take me a week or so to contact them all, and since we and Azure are allies, neither of us really cares  :)

BTW this is all for fun, the Idea is, you vote to either get your clan out of the way, or to find out more about the clans, eg if GDC wins this week, im voting for Azure next week, then The Charmed Knights etc

I actually would like to know where each guild/clan stands in the end, what they stand for, and that is the whole idea of this.

General Discussion / On the case of Azure having the most members
« on: February 15, 2002, 07:53:08 am »
Thats not actually true, we have more but we are allied to them, and about the most designers in a guild i think its equal, two guilds have the same number, or close

If clans wanted to white wash this they just get on the bad side of the other clans, Azure doesnt want that, GDC doesnt want  that, One of us may \'win\' a place in the first one, but that just means, they are out of the running for the next 12 issues (I think thats right)

Just vote for the group you want to here about, it might not even be your clan, its more to find out who is who, not who is favorite or anything

Eg, I am one of the Council of Leaders for the Golden Dragon Clan, the only reason I voted for my clan was to get it out of the way lol
