Lets do this Graalians

[Dnegel]

Val is a like LARP but in a game.

[DustyPorViva]

Val is a dress-up server and play pretend server :P

[Hiro]

i've been saying we need new content on graal since i came back to the forums, and the closest i got to making it happen was armageddon

i've lost much faith in graal's developers to actually make something. in fact, i'm about 99% done with any sort of development or in starting something up because i know that i'll be let down by developers

[CharlieM]

so basically we need a collaberation going
We have every kind of developer on these forums, most are at the top of their game.

Instead of making everyone staff lets make a server collaberation, just figure out an idea, level artists would make levels (Such as collabs have gone before each person selects a square and builds on it), It would all have to mesh of course, Scripters could make scripts on Test Bed and whatnot, Graphics artists could make graphics, Gani Artists could make ganis for the graphics...SFX can be made for the stuff...

It's really not that hard if everyone was to pitch in and do what they want, instead of having it as a job, it loses the fun when its a "job"

by the way, val isn't really an RPG

I thought Role Playing was a big part in Val, and doesn't RPG stand for Role Playing Game? zzz

I believe 70% of these developers that can produce good work is busy doing other projects. Alot of the top notch scripters are pretty much busy with GDT, same with Graphic Artists.

I would love to help out, but I'm currently way too busy on N-Pulse to even think about another project.

This is exactly the kind of thing the GDT should be doing.

[DarkCloud_PK]

great, lets start another new project that will never get completed and spread development even thinner than it is already.
what a brilliant ****ing idea.

Since Era is clearly dieing from unknown causes :3.
Val is / has been dead,
so on and so forth.

Do ya catch my drift?

[Clockwork]

I'd gladly work on a new rpg if we worked together.

[fowlplay4]

It's a lot easier to do projects when there's you know..

A detailed project plan, and design.

Should be a requirement when asking for server development help.

[Nataxo]

Something new Classic-Tab worthy is enough for me to be honest, I can play any server.

Just do something and stay focused and motivated on it.

[WhiteDragon]

There have been multiple good UC start-ups, some taking old-school ideas from SNES; others coming out with new ideas, even amidst a number of genres being covered by the main servers.

When was the last time a server got on to the main server list? Not for awhile.

The problem isn't the ideas. Even the most simple ideas can be made into amazing games (and often better than the more complex ideas).

What is the problem?

There aren't many players. Therefore, not many developers either.

But looking at the roots of Graal, or any grassroots project, raw manpower isn't needed to succeed.

What is needed to succeed?

• Teamwork. For as long as I've been here, the community has always been fighting against itself one way or another. Even within servers there is sometimes conflict. Ironically, we all share the same core goal of making Graal succeed.
• Dedication. What kind of project succeeds when people aren't putting their sweat and tears into it? Far to often do people give up on servers with great potential.

** ~ The Happy Place ~ **

Thousands of players sparring, pking, shooting, questing, and playing with one another.

Developers working in absolute unison towards their unified visions.

Getting to the Happy Place

• Cyberjouers, PWA: There need to be less servers. Please. I know this goes against Cyberjouer's business model. Stefan, Unixmad, fix it. Or at least let us help! Maybe fill us in sometimes!
  
• Got ideas? There are already plenty of servers out there that could use them. Become the number one contributer of ideas to a server and you'll be remembered.
  
• Developers: You're probably the most important people. Don't let your work go to waste; work on projects that will go places. Nothing is more exciting that seeing your work in the hands of hundreds of players.
  
• Managers: Take the server's vision and make it true. Coordinate. Competition is healthy; anger isn't.
  
• Players -- the newbies of today are the pros and developers of tomorrow.
  
• Players -- Graal is only here because of us. We can make it better, too.

Those are just some quick thoughts, and it is certainly not "the solution" or some manifesto.


I'd like to hear what you guys think.

been there tried that

Zzzzz...Alright, this thread is going no-where...

I'll make an offer to see just how many people would really collaborate: I can subscribe for a server no problem and make it a server for us to collaborate on. It would of course be an RPG (sorry x3, I'd rather have an rpg if I'm paying for it ).I know the steps and plans to create a simple rpg to the point where it's a simple base for us to build upon. But I wanna know, knowing that we could start this tommorow, who would actually work on it.?

Tldr; Who would work on an RPG server with meh if I rent the server?

You and some others should all just work on Delteria Dev instead, to be honest.
