We're still working on it, I am learning the ins and outs of my friend's framework while Tosoto's busy with school work. DudeMan is setting up a blog 'storyboard' that I will be putting a lot of input on later.

I'll be contacting veterans of all aspects of game creation to assist in the tutorials, and draw from some unconventional sources I know of. It's going to be sweet.

General Discussion / New MS

« on: February 08, 2010, 10:57:45 PM »

Hey guys, there are some things in the works right now between Tosoto, DudeMan, and I. We are setting up a revamping of MS that will help carve a niche for the site and revive its former glory.

Right now the main design phase is nearing completion. Tosoto has some school duties to attend to right now and will finish when time permits. When we fine tune the design, I will be setting up and applying a framework that will offer all the site needs. DudeMan is laying his own plan out for the tutorials and other areas of the site. I will help with that too.

More to follow! Very Happy

All stuff should stay intact. One way is to set up another database just for the new forum and I can take care of all that as I have messed with SMF as well and still have the install for it. Theming is a breeze and yes it's secure.

Though the main thing is the actual site, not the forums. That can be handled within days of the changeover.

You can send the ftp however you wish, email, pm etc.

Likin your comic btw.

If you can find me the db data I can maybe take a crack at it. I can also ask how my buddies at the MPT forums fixed the bot problem. That would enable new blood.

Main thing is that there's no real reason to the average aspiring gamemaker to stray from TKZ anymore and the other system's own forums. There needs to be a new value for this site. The question to ask what this site really was.

An example I read about was about a company that make really high-quality drill bits. Best in the industry...until a Chinese company started distributing bits at a better price of comparable quality. They felt doomed. But a few enterprising individuals got together and were weighing options on how to steer the company. WHO ARE THEY? What kind of company are they, really?

They felt doomed as they only thought themselves as a supplier of high-quality bits, their success in the can. But the light bulb went on. They weren't the supplier of high-quality BITS but the supplier of high-quality HOLES. They then refactored their company and became a leading manufacturer of industrial lasers.

There needs to be some laser action here. Good luck. I am here to help.

Still holds true tho some will be considered produced in book form rather than games, especially NE: The Harrier Rebellion as well as some other ideas I haven't really told anyone yet. One of those hidden ones may be a CG movie, whenever I figure out all that stuff.

I am revamping the site to deal solely with web design and graphics for now, and will have a new look. I have about 4 ideas in mind and will be trying them out over the next few weeks.

Ok tons of changes:

I am a civilian now as of january 09, after which I took on the task of Armorer's Apprentice. I kid you not! It was a blast man, but when someone put out a scathing review on me partner, causing a ton of our clients to pull out, I had to find other work. Ended up selling off most of my gadgets and other cool things until I got a job at Home Depot and later on with a marketing firm in Columbia, MD doing web design and other consultation. Now I am on the way out of the hospital after being hit by a car while crossing the street about two weeks ago. I will be able to fully walk again in about two months or so.

I am officially striking it out on my own for the web design thing. I have been messing with the TS site again and will do a redesign over the next couple weeks while I get caught up with all my clients. Also after I get healed up, I will be taking on the hammer again and working on a couple really big pieces with my good friend.

Game wise I won't be touching that for about another 6 months more or less, I need to set up a few income streams before I can devote any real time to that. Besides most of my game ideas I am turning into books. It's far easier that way and better suited to the plot lines I had in mind.

I do have an offer to do a couple XBox games with a guy near DC, worth looking in to.

I still want to do the Phantas games somehow as well as some of the New Earth titles and RoboTactix the FFT/Robotrek fangame.

I have also been learning how to do music with my Game Boy. I got me a Pro Sound modded clear DMG with an LSDJ cart. I plan on putting LED backlighting onto the beast it's gonna look sweet! Maybe I'll see some of you at Blip Festival.

You guys can reach me many ways.

I'll give you my number if you ask, but it will be a while until i can take calls as it's busted and may be about a week or so to get that running again.

I recently recieved an ExpertRating certificate for C++, working on a couple in PHP/MySQL, which should be complete by end of next month. The main site will be a hub for at least 8 different subsites. You will see, indeed! I am glad y'all are still around.
