Finally!

I hope the team will be a success in boosting confidence in server project teams and improving the standards and quality of development.

Hm, I feel like I should refine and clean up my NPC Dialog system to make it more suitable for release.

Edit: And if more scripts are going to be released by the GDT, it would really help if Stefan would add the eventcatching functionality to the clientside. Currently you can only catch dynamic (scripted) events on the serverside and it is annoying. Event catching promotes modularity in scripts because your system script can provide hooks in the form of events to be caught by GUI scripts and similar. This would allow the event catching can be done without making a scripted (slower) and non-standard implementation.

I agree 100% with this.


And it's good to see things getting done around here!

Good to see that the team is being made, now just to get some good developers willing to help people, into it ^^

cool!
is it too late to be in the "core group"? i would love to join(or help or w/e u say).

I've compiled a list of those of you that have showed interest in joining so far. It includes your subscription status (for my own information basically) and your selected fields both primary and secondary if you have one. Since not all the information is complete could each of you let me know what I'm missing? I would also like any of you to let me know if one or more of these people should not be included in the team and why. If I've missed anyone interested include that as well.

Elk's expressed on debug that he does not wish to join.
I've seen him say more than once that he cares for nothing other than zodiac. :p

Not sure if it's too late to put my name out there as well, and I'm also not sure how much time this sort of team would consume.

I have a pretty firm bg with pixeling/gfx with Graal.

Also, what about Managing a server at the same time? If this isn't possible just disregard this.

Edit: I have a classic account

Then I wonder why he applied already. I thought it was only the females that were supposed to be so indecisive!

fowlplay4 has joined and also manages Zodiac. If you feel you can do both thats fine. I don't think its going to be as labor intensive as running a server so it may actually give you a break or change in pace at times.

It will never actually be too late to join as this will be an open ended hiring. People will most likely always have time they can and can't help so the more people we have filling the various internal departments of sorts, the better chance of this working long term.

Well I'm willing to give it a swing. Can hopefully provide some help to understanding working with GFX on the game, and what not.

I agree it could be fun, and a good way to make a beneficial change for the game as a whole.

I can give a hand with GFX, Levels and Ganis if need be.

It doesn't hurt to be part of a list of contacts, whom may have some say in situations.

This is true. :)

This makes me laugh.
