I couldn't find geers... I'll check again later when I'm more awake... I have like 10 friend requests atm.. xD
Erm , I don't wanna be a self centered maddafacka or anything but, is it possible for you to check my Nova application squishpon3? (Sorry for this x.x)
Yes of course there are different groups working on different things, but they still have their priorities up the waazoo. Why doesn't Uber employ additional staff for the more critical areas of development, rather than employing staff for stupid things like Steam achievements. When you have limited funding and limited staff it's important to get your priorities sorted.
They don't just hire people to work on Steam achievements, I'm almost positive the people who have the knowledge to work on things like the server are not the same as the people who worked on the Steam achievements. Employees of the company must always have something to do, you can just have workers sitting around doing nothing. This was a project for what I'd imagine to be a very small group, if even a group.
On your comment about limited funding, the thing is- if these people weren't working then not only would they be using funding but they'd also be using funding on no work what so ever. Every one working on a project has a job, it just so happens theirs was to work on Steam achievements.
in reply to "I hope you're kidding, as one of the devs very clearly stated, there's more than one group working on PA, what I mean by this is they are not all working on the same thing. Why is this? Because they don't all know how to. You have a set number of programmers, texture artists, modelers, etc... "
Awesome, I have a few OC's myself, sadly I'm not that good at drawing (http://yemto.deviantart.com/art/Gold-Star-287989188)
How did you get so good at modeling? Even Wrongcat is better than me! (No offense, but your blob is only a blob superior to my blobs) Also, Blender? Also also: 3 Alerts from me today :P
Yeah, I've played TA, even have an unreleased rebalance mod for it. These things are definitely things that should be added to the PA unit cast. I'd leave TA TCs to Raevn though. Work with the current unit to make them function as if they were in TA, don't add units unless balancing demands it or mess with models. The balance is the problem, not the looks.
Yes I know, but I like the looks! :D Plus it's overall pretty simplistic to do so. Easily base the programming off other unit's programming. The models and animations would probably be pretty difficult however.. but I think it'd be a nice little experience; I want to get into game dev after all.
A megabot along the lines of a krogoth but with enough health to live long enough to do its role? (To break turtles that nothing else is breaking) Sounds great! Just don't make it viable in any situation other than the extreme turtle.
"Hey Stuart, Zombiefan564 and I had actually planned to work on changing up balance post-release as well. The coding is very simplistic (One line per unit and it's weapons and such.) and so I just wanted to tell you we'd be up for helping you with the balance." Excellent!
