Can we get all the pertinent information edited into the top of the first post? The main PP entry and now the Item one, so far.

[Sir Pseudonymous]

Let's wait till we have a (very early and unfinished) alpha release to show for it before we go to the lengths of shelling out for a website, shall we? Or we could now, I suppose, if people are willing and able to contribute money for it (something I can't do at the moment, on account of not having money in the first place). And even then, a devlog would be a good thing, and a shared blog would better than pasting news items onto the front page.

It'd probably take one person an hour or two to do, assuming the engine isn't so grossly complicated as to make the task of adding a few options and equations to a menu a monumental task, in which case I can't imagine we'd be using the engine in the first place...

*shrug* I'll leave that up whoever is taking on the task to decide. The last time I tried to write script was NWN 2, and I failed. Before that, BASICA, and I failed

I'll take it on (assuming no one has any objections), once I've delved into the engine (looking over a book on lua at the moment). And once I know specifically what we want, of course.

What person perspective do people prefer for descriptions?

Like....

"*I* see a stove here."

Or

"*YOU* see a stove here."

I prefer 3rd person narrator. I loathe first person perceptive.

[Acanthus117]

I prefer *You*, rather than *I*.

[Sir Pseudonymous]

What about just "It's a stove."?

[Soulwynd]

Yea, this is true, but what about an SVN repository? We need one, and I doubt we could find one for less than 10 bux.

Isn't google code free? O.o

[Cthulhu]

Is sourceforge free?

We could always use Freewebs.  Get a flashing animated banner, some whole-screen effects like falling rain, an animated cursor, maybe throw in a Linkin Park song, it'd be great.

Hahahahah.
 Anyway, the items description page is going quite well. Spriters can help sprite any of the items described on there.

BLEEEEEEEEDING IIIIIN MY BLOOOOOOD
MY BLOOOOOD IT WIIIILL NOT BLEEEEEED

...

Yeah, google code is free, as far as I remember.

Second person is a good perspective for an adventurous criminal roguelike like this, and it is also a common Roguelike format.

[Medicine Man]

maybe throw in a Linkin Park song

Linkin Park?I thought this was supposed to be a roguelike not a torture chamber of terrible songs

 

[nenjin]

Ok, well, there is officially a whole lot of shit going on now in the item PP. Lol. People with some quasi authority over the project need to start setting some ground rules, or we at least need to start discussing them.

[Puzzlemaker]

To make this happen SVN must have we.

[Puzzlemaker]

I made a sourceforge.

Afaik, the current prototype already has a code.google page.
