So there's been a lot of talk lately about kicking the project into high gear, but actions aren't really being taken to do so. Last night I realized we truly need a system if we want to finish this project by 2015. Therefore, I propose a new method for creating galaxies. First off, our team is a bit short
I want to see 4-5 designers and 4-5 modelers, as well as 2-3 creators. Right now we're not that far off: Designers- MC (me) Polari While we have lots of people who contribute ideas, we need a couple more people that can make full, detailed designs. Modelers- Glem3 Cosmological Without modelers, we can't do this project. Simple as that. We need a couple more of these guys too. I think someone new on the irc has some experience modeling, so they could prove to be a great help Creators: We've got MrRean and SSL. Tbh I don't think we need as many creators, maybe one more will help. So what is the system? Well, my idea is this: Each person has a small specific project each month. At the beginning of each month, we decide who will make each design for the month. For instance, Polari might be working on Shrapnel Sandbar while I work on Mechanical Meadows. Throughout the month we will be constantly editing and perfecting these designs. I think we can easily do this. So, while the designers are doing this, the modelers will be modeling the designs from last month. That means if Polari worked on Comet Chasm last month, a certain modeler will use that polished design to make the planets. The key in this system is making sure everyone does their "job" (DON"T START GUYS) by the end of the month. And of course, when the modelers are done, the creators spend the next month creating. Thus, the designers are one month ahead of the modelers, who are one month ahead of the creators. While I like the idea of an order, it wouldn't be the best idea. This is because we need a ton of brainstorming before we can design. Of course, we could just make sure everyone does their brainstorming in certain galaxies, but that is for later worrying. Anyway, I want this system to start by March 1st for the designers, meaning April 1st for the modelers, and May 1st for the creators. This gives us some time to recruit a few members via the youtube channel for 2.5 Now the only thing we really need here is Glem's approval. Feel free to modify or completely reject my idea, you know best

I can design too. 
The current problem is step one. No full designs yet. If no full designs have been made yet, then the modellers and creators can't do anything about it. One galaxy a month seems fair. No need to be too strict, though, as some galaxies have 3 stars, some have two, and the boss galaxies...let's say 1.5. ____________________ 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. |

Well right now we need to focus on people
Then we can start designs |

There is one problem with your proposal. It honestly seems very similar to the job system in my perspective. ____________________ Super Mario LOLand Thanks to kaj for helping to port my Acmlmboard 2.5 layout to Acmlmboard 2.064! |

Too bad, if jobs will kick the project into high gear, then jobs will be jobs. |

Possibly not, but meep. The system sounds great  ____________________ a |

I will try to make huge, detailed, typed designs instead of drawn ones. I really hope this helps keep the project going. ____________________ Super Mario LOLand Thanks to kaj for helping to port my Acmlmboard 2.5 layout to Acmlmboard 2.064! |

The only problem that I see here is that if we are going in order, one of the designers might simply not be able to make a design for a galaxy. It might not be the designer's style  ____________________

Doesn't need to be in strict order. It would be nice to finish World 1 first, but we haven't even started.
Bleh, as long as the to-design list isn't completely random and scattered around the 7 worlds, it's fine. Polari, it would be nice for you to try to finish a design out of the few you reserved. Preferably in Worlds 1-3. Same goes for any designer reserving multiple galaxies. ____________________ Burrow Base design- Text complete. I might try my hand at some art...maybe...eventually...?

Posted by gc I'm actually working on a few of them at the same time, but I haven't posted my progress yet. I've handed Frostflare to MoreCowbell, though
Which other galaxies was I reserving again? ____________________

Well still, this should be organized, and not just just saying "Well yeah, I'm reserving this, and that"

Somebody should make a thread to mark down which galaxies are being designed by who, and which are still available.
It would be best to actually post one quickly than a few slowly right now. You could let people know (and remind yourself) by listing your progress. Hmm, which galaxy should I try my hand at after Burrow Base? ____________________ Burrow Base design- Text complete. I might try my hand at some art...maybe...eventually...?

I am going to be making typed designs for Fast Food. It may take me a couple of weeks so that I can place the many ideas in order. Obviously, not all ideas will make it into my design. ____________________ Super Mario LOLand Thanks to kaj for helping to port my Acmlmboard 2.5 layout to Acmlmboard 2.064! |

Something that needs to be said is the issue of Rayman Legends. It doesn't exactly fit but it's a good example. The team has been working NONSTOP and putting out a demo every month or 2 and they were all not happy. I'm worried that the same thing will happen. We will be trying too hard to create lots of stuff to attract people and not grt much back.
But anyways, this system will probably not go into effect until April or May, but the idea will be applied to stuff for a demo and possibly trailer if glem wants to shift focus from just sky high. I'll talk to Glem about what galaxies should be in it, and then we will focus on that. There also won't be a set limit for when we have to finish something, just as soon as possible. ____________________ "I hate playing musical chats" ~ Quote of the month |

That system sounds nice. Hopefully this will help the project get back on track! 
Anyway since we need modelers I'll do my best to try and find someone out there who is interested and has experience modeling. Aaand tbh I don't think anyone should have the right to "reserve" multiple galaxies before they finish one of those they reserve. for example if someone reserved Comet Chasm and wants to also reserve Buzzing By, that person can't do that until they're actually finished with Comet Chasm. If people reserve a ton of galaxies at once then it will halt the project, as there may be other people who want/can design some of those galaxies, and then we would get done quicker ____________________ Former SMG2.5 Advertiser and one-time Level Designer/Artist - So Apparently Norway is rich while Denmark and Sweden are happy.

WAITWAITWAITWAIT.
Guys, don't worry about galaxies you don't want to design, it's not random. If you have some galaxies in mind like me, then ONCE IT'S TIME FOR THAT GALAXY TO BE DESIGNED you will most likely be assigned it. I'm also glad you guys see how annoying the "OH NUUUU NO JOBS" thing is. HOWEVER, I don't want to see any designs yet. We can brainstorm, but my biggest priority is finding talented people so that we can achieve the goals above |

If we stop everything, it'll take ages to find enough people.
Of course, finding new contributing members is a high priority, but until then, we should try to churn out at least some designs so that modellers/creators can actually work. Working with what we have for now, IMO, FOR NOW we should just try to stick to a roughly "one design per month per designer". Simple enough. Recruiting at the same time, of course. ____________________ Burrow Base design- Text complete. I might try my hand at some art...maybe...eventually...?

Gc, remember that I want this system to start on march 1, meaning that by april 1st, modelers will begin. Now, this gives us time to get people on the team and for those with less experience to practice modeling or creating or whatever |

Great. I'll be twice as useless now.
My greates asset is reminding people what's possible and what isn't, minorly tweaking level designs, and scouting good green star locations. Hopefully I can get some good full designs down as well. Status: It was really, really fun, guys - thanks for the ride!
