Things to worry about.....

Post by Lilman424 »

I'm going to post some thing I think we need to think about....

1.) Advertising: Are we going to try to attract a larger fanbase than just the TT-forummers? If so, make sure to have someone advertising.....whether it's a banner or a fullpage ad in Rolling Stone
(:roll:)

2.) Programmers: 2 programmers is not enough to do a full project, at least not if you want to get done in less than about 15 years... I'm learning programming but it'll 2-4 years until I can do anything.....

3.) Researchers and Petitioners: People who will look up info and ask if we can use stuff, like the real names for planes and trains.....

4.) Money: Sponsors.......Sponsors........we may need to pay a bit royalties, I would give a bit to out programmers, if I wasn't so paranoid about sending money 500 miles overseas......

That's all....for now....BTW:this is my last post tonight, I was supposed to be in bed 3 hours ago :oops:

GOOD NIGHT! TT-FORUMS!!!!

I think we won't have any sponsors ... first why , just we don't want wo owe him anything, second why, if we have sponsors then it is a bit pressure rein and other people in project , last one to 3) we don't have money and they don't allow us to use real names for free ... (anyway someone wil realese orginall names :wink: )

Most concerns are for a later date. I thought that if the engine was working like it should other programmers would start implementing features and graphic designers would start making graphics.
And of course we don't want sponsors because they would only annoy us and espescially the programmers.

Yup, first we need a engine and then others can begin with adding stuff.

Ok....Anyway:

5.) Getting to work: I know hellfire and rein are working hard but I don't see any progress in the aduio deartment or in graphics. The website's coming along great, but that one of the least important things.....and the Design Docs topic has died, obviously.

BTW: rein,hellfire: could you guys post your progress please? Not the program, just what your doing/what you've done. Thank in advance!

I might want to join as a coder. Ihaven't used C++ before, but I have around 4-5 years of experience in Delphi and already know a bit of C++ syntax, so I won't feel totally lost. :) I hope I can make this my opportunity to get started with C++.
