Aeronauts

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Facto dropped the project on his site

Is this project going to go anywhere?
No one's posted any thing about the possibility of development in a while

I know, I was wondering what happened as well, until I recieved an e-mail...

It's about a new forum coming in. Something about the fusion-engineering-group.com or something like that. I'm not too sure what the site was, but I think you recieved an e-mail as well.

(Don't try the site, I'm not sure if that's it.)

I didn't give out my email - I just saw that when I check the forum (which I do every once in a while) - he completely redid the site, now with vbulletin I believe (definitely an improvement) but the Aeronauts sub-forum is no longer one of the forums on it, whether that be due a wip site or that he just dropped that project as it pretty much wasn't going where right now (I wouldn't blame him if he did this) I don't know.

I'll just post the new site here.

But he says it's not finished yet, so we should wait just a bit.

Am I going to develop Aeronauts alone? I got 2 another projects which hasn't been finished yet.
I would suggest, that you just start with the basic systems, units, models until I keep working on any further terrain.

Furthermore I can set up Aeronauts as hosted project on the new forum. The new one has just every feature we need.

 

[indomitable1319]

You aren't working on it alone *I think*.

I'm not one of the developers, so I can only assume.

I've already signed up on the site, so I'm just waiting for everything to happen.

Well at least this project is getting attention again. I just hope it gets back on track.

Am I going to develop Aeronauts alone?

Hopefully not, but really look at the project team.
No one even planned for a serious person to code the systems except Ap0, and he sure can't do that alone.

We've got positions like "creative director" - honestly, what does a creative director even do? On a small scale project (relative, it's large for a wc3 project but compared to a full standalone game) like this we can't afford to have many people doing nothing, or something barely useful. Story direction and general ideas is good, but honestly if you don't do something that generally furthers the project, like coding, terraining, etc., your not extensively helping. A good concept goes nowhere without execution.

SO if this project is going to actually go anywhere, I'd suggest a restructuring of the team to fill in some of the gaps we have, thus something we're going to really need is a/a few coder(s).

 

[De.Facto]

Do what you need to do. I won't lead this project.

 

[indomitable1319]

The real leader's chanan12, he started TFK, then quit. He started Rise of Magic, but WTF happened? I didn't see any work. This project's spiraling down, into the depths of incompletion.

He also has Conquest of Paradise, and this other one. He's active, but WTF IS HE DOING?!

Does he even know of the UserCP button?!

Seems really great, +rep for the great graphics in the screenshots.
