[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..
