How often do you see the front page?

  1. I'm always looking for content on the main site. I rarely check the forums.

    Is it really so hard to have a thread where everyone doesn't attack everyone else?

    Bitch.

    That's pretty much the plan. I just have to build systems that allow content to be put up easily. That's what my focus has been on. Developing something that once it's all working, there won't be much more coding needed (except for one or two special features). So we can add more games as Troika announce them and then immediately add content to them.

    There are approximately 20 "items" I need to develop. The main issue is that they're all built off of each other. For example, the UberFAQ system relies on the game database and the Troika staff database. To build it, I need to build the other two first. To build those two, I not only need to work out what those systems should have and how they should work, but I also need to work out how that's going to affect the other pages I'm looking at having (article, better news system and so on). Needless to say, I have a very thick folder full of plans and database designs.

    The systems also rely on content. It's all great building a versatile content system, but if you've got no content... Same with the specific game systems I intend on building. Having a system that stores every quest detail about a game is great, the problem is putting every quest detail into it. Just take a look at the Arcanum walkthrough sitting on the site now. It's out of date and talks about stuff being from the demo version. That needs to be updated and that takes time.

    A potential server move also puts some things on hold (IE: How much do I really want to put up when I just have to move it all and re-work it again for a new server?). This is the main reason why I haven't installed the file system and uploaded any Arcanum modules and modding tools yet. I'm getting closer, but when you only get to work on something for about a day per week, it takes time. I know I've said "3 months" to some people, but that was 6 months ago now. :) I've given up putting a time limit on it. I just *hope* it's done in time for Bloodlines release.

    There are just two more things I want to say. First is that I am working on it. You may not see anything until it's all finished, but I am working on it. The second thing is that when it is all finished, it's going to be killer.

    Here's hoping.

    I'm sorry DU, it's just SO EASY.

    gl with your list DU, if you ever need a comic relief I can start a thread for you to just flame me in. You can make it sticky and spend a few minutes insulting my mom while you rest from your scripting.

    So on a scale of 1-10 how weird/disturbing was that.

    Don’t think I'll be posting anything like that again. Unless somebody wants to hear more insanity from me.
