[01:28:24] Bahamut ONE left.
[13:04:35] Temporal joined.
[13:05:17] Temporal: How did I know Dev would sleep though the meeting if I didn't remind him last night?
[13:05:31] Temporal: not that anyone else is here. ::cough::
[13:19:01] Dev joined.
[13:19:11] Temporal: yer late!
[13:19:19] Temporal: ... not that it would appear to matter
[13:19:26] Dev: .... doh indeed.
[13:20:07] Dev: I'm thinking we should really make a news post about this. :P
[13:21:07] Temporal: perhaps
[13:21:27] Temporal: but I think we're not serious enough about this project in the first place
[13:21:36] Temporal: and I'm having a hard time motivating myself. -_-
[13:22:20] Dev: Well the place that's holding us back, I think, is character abilities.
[13:22:30] Dev: Including eumonetic abilities.
[13:22:49] Temporal: ...
[13:22:49] Dev: When we start getting really specific about how all that works, then the rest of the gameplay design can start to roll.
[13:23:41] Temporal: Sam, if I had any motivation, I would have had specific character abilities figured out for everyone weeks ago...
[13:24:18] Dev: You don't have to do everything, y'know.
[13:24:28] Temporal: well I don't see anyone else doing anything!
[13:24:33] Temporal: except submitting music
[13:24:36] Temporal: which is all well and good
[13:24:47] Temporal: but doesn't advance the project a whole lot
[13:25:40] Dev: I know, that's what I'm saying. Our focus on artwork ... er ... if we ever had one, really isn't necessary.
[13:28:12] Temporal: well, what I'm saying is, someone needs to push this project if it's going to go anywhere, and with all the other stuff I have going on I don't really feel up to it.
[13:29:21] Dev: I know what you're getting at. Don't worry about it so much. :P
[13:29:36] Temporal: ohhh kay then
[13:29:47] Temporal: hope that means you have stuff in the works
[13:30:43] Dev: Well, I'd been thinking about it anyway.
[13:30:52] Temporal: do tell
[13:32:03] Dev: Er... well it's just what I said. Character abilities are what's stopping the actual game part of the project from heading on.
[13:32:16] Dev: But I did have specific ideas, if those're what you want to hear. :P
[13:32:41] Temporal: well, I suppose you should post them
[13:35:01] Temporal: I haven't eaten yet today
[13:35:04] Temporal: I think I'm going to go do that
[13:35:21] Dev: I am currently.
[13:36:39] Temporal: ttyl, then
[13:36:49] Dev: 'kay. See ya.
[13:36:51] Temporal left.
[13:36:54] Dev left.
[14:05:21] Captain Vimes joined.
[14:05:39] Captain Vimes: Ug. I knew that playing Guild Wars to pass the time was a mistake >.<
[14:07:10] Stix joined.
[14:07:24] Stix: Hello!
[14:07:32] Captain Vimes: Hey ho.
[14:07:41] Stix: I am a bit late...aren't i?
[14:07:45] Captain Vimes: We're both late for the meeting by about an hour.
[14:07:55] Stix: I was busy...*weeps*
[14:08:02] Captain Vimes: But, we're in luck! Dev is just...away.
[14:08:08] Stix: Yay!
[14:08:21] Stix: When he gets back, I'll tell him I'm trying to draw some generic Drythians....
[14:08:30] Captain Vimes: Well, I was playing Guild Wars, and turned out I overplayed by an hour. Gah!
[14:08:38] Stix: I was RPing and Nairing my legs.
[14:08:59] Captain Vimes: Um. Nai...ring?
[14:09:05] Stix: Nevermind.
[14:09:14] Stix: *is a girl* It's chemically removing hair from one's legs.
[14:09:25] Stix: Sometimes it leaves an allergic reaction so you've got to be careful.
[14:09:35] Captain Vimes: Oookay.
[14:09:48] Captain Vimes: By the way, great job with all the music and artwork. Its great to see someone this motivated.
[14:10:03] Stix: Anyway... I *am* motivated, damnit. You don't find something on the internet, that's free, and as user-friendly as this.
[14:10:07] Stix: :)
[14:10:12] Stix: And your welcome.
[14:10:33] Stix: I wonder... what we'll be using to design all the map systems and such... this is going to be wild if it actually works.
[14:10:49] Captain Vimes: I'm not much good for anything but writing level scripts and dialouge, so I'm just biding my time for now.
[14:11:00] Stix: I know... it sucks when all your usefulness is done with for awhile.
[14:11:20] Stix: I think I'll even try drawing 'landscape' pictures for locations..y'know..like when you arrive..
[14:11:24] Stix: I like designing that kinda stuff.
[14:11:55] Captain Vimes: By the way, do you have any tutorial things that got you started?
[14:12:06] Stix: Got me started on what?
[14:12:08] Temporal joined.
[14:12:13] Captain Vimes: I'm just starting out with the drawing stuff anyway.
[14:12:24] Captain Vimes: Oh, here's the man of the hour!
[14:12:36] Temporal: hello
[14:13:22] Captain Vimes: Stix was RP'ing and I was playing Guild Wars, so it's not like we have totally legitamate reasons for being late.
[14:13:22] Stix: I don't have tutorials. I just DO.
[14:13:38] Stix: Hello, temporal.
[14:13:50] Temporal: yeah, Dev was here an hour ago, but I guess he's not around now
[14:14:41] Stix: I will try my best to come here every Saturday, so you guys don't feel like nobody cares. Because *I* do.
[14:14:49] Temporal: :P
[14:15:03] Temporal: yeah, these meetings haven't really taken off yet
[14:15:04] Captain Vimes: So, about the abilities. You're thinking that once we finish those, the game design portion will snowball, right?
[14:15:25] Temporal: the project needs some pushing, but I have so much other stuff going on that I'm having trouble finding the energy for it... -_-
[14:15:40] Temporal: Dev thinks it will
[14:16:03] Captain Vimes: Well, I just hit the summer, and I can get started on those level designs once we nail the abilities, and Dell's personality.
[14:16:13] Stix: Dev is awesome. So is Temp. And I think if I try doing a little bit of everything...
[14:16:26] Stix: I can't find the inspiration to draw those Antareans right now. I can't get it the way I want it to.
[14:16:52] Stix: I've got dragon drawings that are pretty similar..I'll post those, er, eventually..only problem is they come in yellow, blacks, and reds and stuff.
[14:16:59] Stix: We'll just pretend their much smaller.
[14:17:02] Captain Vimes: Just don't say dragon.
[14:17:19] Stix: Antarean drawings, then.
[14:17:23] Temporal: unless you mean dragon, of course. But dragons are different from antareans.
[14:17:28] Captain Vimes: I'm sure Dev will have an aneurysm if he hears Antareans referred to as dragons again.
[14:17:34] Temporal: :P
[14:17:44] Captain Vimes: Just like the...background music of old.
[14:17:56] Temporal: also, doing a little of everything can be fun, but focusing on what you're good at might be more useful
[14:17:58] Stix: That's what I thought... I'm guilty of both of those.
[14:18:00] Temporal: it's up to you, though
[14:18:10] Stix: You're probably right, too....
[14:18:20] Stix: I can't wait, really.
[14:18:46] Stix: I've got..couple more songs..but I'm reading the Plot simultaneously, always reading and listening to see what might go in with what..
