For some reason I've seen more discussion about what the GDT should do than I've seen work done by the GDT. I don't recall anything done by the GDT in the nine months since its conception except some events and a starting pack.
Logically: you can't develop all of Graal's content by yourselves, so you should instead focus on educating developers so that
they can produce better content. Making events for Unholy Nation is great, but can you sustainably produce all of the content for a server? This alone should lead you to the conclusion that instead of making content you need to be helping others learn to make it.
There are several ways to help developers:
- Scripting guides. Jer had an excellent one he is/was working on for beginning scripters. Guides also need to be made for specific features (SQLite, using databases, etc). Even a guide to making GUIs would be helpful (and very easy to do).
- Code releases/starting packs. The starting pack was a great idea but it could be even further enhanced. For example, there could be starting packs to "build" on the base one, such as one for modern servers that includes a gun script. The starting pack is also very lacking right now; things like tailors would be great additions.
- Scripting documentation. There are many pages on the wiki that are simply lists without any explanation; descriptions for each variable or function could be added in very little time.
- Levelling guides. Not as necessary as scripting guides for learning, but a guide on proper cliffing (though I think Crono did this?) would be very helpful. Even simple things like linking levels would be great.
- Level collabs. They help new levelers hone their skills. Different tilesets would also be helpful.
- Graphic guides. There are many of these on the internet that just need to be compiled, with some tips thrown in for Graal graphics.
It's nice that you're reaching out to the community (even in a forum post that seems like more of a defense than a request), but if this is all so cryptic to you maybe you're not the right person to lead the GDT. Just a thought.
