The Plan
What will be done first? Are we planning any steps beyond that yet? Should deadlines be set?

The first thing that needs to be done is the finalization of the story and map. Once that's done, we'll have some definite direction for tiles, enemies and levels.
I'm generally opposed to deadlines, though. While they may help us complete stuff faster, I think they generally tend to lead to a decrease in the quality of work.

Yes...Story is first. At least the main narrative...some details can be changed later. Art and Patches are derived from it.Mink wrote:The first thing that needs to be done is the finalization of the story and map. Once that's done, we'll have some definite direction for tiles, enemies and levels.

Alright, looks like the storyline and map are taking shape. Let's figure out how to manage the graphics. Shall we use Dropbox as was suggested in another thread? It seems to be most suitable, except that it requires the installation of software to use it (and it doesn't seem to allow multiple boxes to be configured at once, so if you have one setup for yourself it's a tad annoying to switch to another one and back again depending on what you're doing).
What other alternatives might there be? Google Wave is a good possibility (using it for overall CKCM organisation hasn't worked so well), but it's likely to cut out some folks who don't feel like signing up for an account. Maybe we can just upload all the graphics to the Keen Wiki?

I don't quite get what you mean. I've got Dropbox set up on both of my computers, and it hasn't given me much trouble switching between them.CommanderSpleen wrote:and it doesn't seem to allow multiple boxes to be configured at once, so if you have one setup for yourself it's a tad annoying to switch to another one and back again depending on what you're doing.
Anyway, I've just rounded up all the graphics and important texts from every thread in this forum (which took way, way longer than I expected, but was definitely worth it). I still think Dropbox is the way to go, so they're all organized in a Dropbox folder. Now, just go to https://www.dropbox.com/ , set up an account/download the software and then let me know the email address you signed up with so I can invite you to the folder.

I already set up the KeenWiki page several months ago: http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/Command ... munity_Mod Granted, it's pretty rudimentary and contains outdated information, but it is a start.
OK, I'm at fleexy@mchsi.com. Could somebody please explain how I get files into/out of our community Dropbox?
