Hey guys, MC here, and this is my first ever monthly update. I'll be posting a thread like this at the end of each month to help us stay in the loop with what's going on. With all of the different members doing different things, it's hard to keep up with what's being worked on, as well as how much progress we've made with everything. My goal with the monthly updates is to keep us updated (duh) as well as to keep the project on track by listing our goals for the upcoming months. So, without further ado, I present MC's first monthly update!
Alright guys, it's the end of April, and we've discussed a lot about what we want to do for the near summer this month. One thing we discussed is our plans for the next 2.5 trailers. Our idea was to release a trailer in May to show everyone that we are still a serious project that isn't dead. Glem later postponed said trailer to June. Here are the galaxies we planned to include: -Shrapnel Sandbar -Digital Circuit -Sky High -Toxic Terror -Coastline Cavern -Retro Remix -Ghostly Graveyard -Rolling Halfpipe Seems like a lot, but keep in mind that to include a galaxy in a trailer we don't actually have to finish the whole thing. Having a large variety of the TYPES of galaxies makes for a more interesting trailer. Now, let's review our current progress for this trailer... -Shrapnel Sandbar: Two and a half -Digital Circuit: Design got approved, but because of a lack of platforming and interesting concepts, got unapproved. Most models will likely be trashed. -Sky High: Planet 1 modeled long ago, planet 2 modeled more recently by Fnar. Both need to be textured -Toxic Terror: Models are complete but need to be textured -Coastline Cavern: Design is complete and finalized, but modeling has not begun yet. -Retro Remix: Yi3 is finished with modeling, but still needs quite a bit of texturing. -Ghostly Graveyard: NWP has begun to model this, but it needs art as well as a lot more modeling after the art is made. -Rolling Halfpipe: The models were finished long ago, but it still needs textures. Fnar attempted the texures, but it messed up and while he tried to do it again, he disappeared. NWP said that he'll try and do this in the upcoming weeks So, as you can see, we really haven't got much done. It's hard to even imagine galaxies like Coastline and Ghostly being finished by the end of June. However, there have been other galaxies with approved designs or ones near approval that we can consider... -Humongous Fungus- Finalized -Buzzing By- Art made, not finalized -Rock n' Roll- Has a bit of art, not finalized I'm not necessarily saying we should use those, but it's good to keep them in mind for future reference. Be sure to check out my List O' Designs to keep up with upcoming designs. Well guys, in all honesty I must say that right now, our chances of a trailer within 2 months seem slim. We have 5 modelers who work slowly (I don't even know where Fnar is) and only 1 has shown he can successfully texture. I don't know, but I'm not sure with this amount of effort that we'll actually get anywhere. I had one of my "we need more progress and effort because things aren't getting done" speeches last night on the IRC, and as usual it turned in to everyone else saying that I can't make decisions and that no one will listen to me and that I need to stop acting important all the time. Not to turn this thread into a rant about my problems, but I'm not doing this because I want to or think that I have power. I understand that I don't, and I understand that it's not my decision whether or not people listen. However, it is your decision. Maybe me ranting and raving about how we aren't going to finish the project is annoying, or maybe when I ask you how design progress is you want to kill me, but you know what? If we don't actually come together as a team and start working like one, another trailer isn't going to happen. EVER. So let's stop pretending that this amount of effort is going to get us anywhere and actually figure out how to solve our problems. ANYWAY, after my little emotional speech there, I'll bring it back to a more relaxed level... Feel free to post RELEVANT things here, such as more info about progress, more updates or small decisions by admins, and anything else that doesn't turn this into a spam fest like a lot of my other threads. Thanks, -MC |

Well, I agree with this list! I wish I could help but the only thing I could really do is provide trailer music (you were the ONLY one who hated the track).
I think that Coastline Cavern might not get in the trailer, unless we get down to business, as we have several other galaxies that are already higher priority. ____________________

Coastline is the most important actually, we can't skip it. It's supposed to show off the Ice Flower. I'm also pretty sure we have the trailer music already. ____________________ "I hate playing musical chats" ~ Quote of the month |

I thought we were, because trailer 3 is when we plan on releasing the ice and flying demos. It would make more sense to reveal them THEN. Plus then that's less galaxies to worry about for this trailer |

Yeah, but even so, there isn't much that cosmological can do either way. Though I guess just because we won't use it for this trailer doesn't mean he can't work on it. Hm. ____________________ "I hate playing musical chats" ~ Quote of the month |

I think Trailer 2 should focus on showing off actual galaxies from 2.5 (not fake ones), while Trailer 3 should show some of the new gameplay mechanics (like Ice and Flying) ____________________

You're right on all points...
Only thing, could you update your list of designs, or is it impossible since it's locked? ____________________ Burrow Base design- Text complete. I might try my hand at some art...maybe...eventually...? Bullet Base design- Final Frontier- (collab) There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Of course, it's usually an oncoming express train. Slow and steady gets you trampled by the other guys. |

I'm slowly learning Maya, but still very confused as to how I'm going to be using textures & models from the SMG series. With the right guidance I should be able to begin helping with modeling soon...hopefully. |

PatriotTP - we are in short supply of modelers, so any help we can get will be much appreciated. ____________________

Here is an update:
Posted by cosmological Seems like lugmillord's drawings were approved 4-5 months ago. So what might happen is that the level will only differ slightly from the art. Posted by Agent000 Agent has done some more work on the third planet in Shrapnel Sandbar. Edit: Posted by Luigi MrRean has created RHP's second area. ____________________ Super Mario LOLand Thanks to Tierage for helping to port my Acmlmboard 2.5 layout to Acmlmboard 2.064! |

Thanks, but we already knew all this. It would be much better to just update it once per month with just one post containing everything than doing what you're doing and editing it as stuff changes. Hence the title MONTHLY update ____________________ "I hate playing musical chats" ~ Quote of the month |

Nobody, since we're not worrying about that until we actually finish all the galaxies needed. ____________________ "I hate playing musical chats" ~ Quote of the month |
