Linear Scenarios v. Non-Linear Scenarios: The doctrine of time = money in Blades of Avernum
drafter Warrior Member # 5322	written Saturday, March 5 2005 07:28 Profile #8 quote: And, beyond that, the whole argument of time equals money falls apart on the linearity thing because you can spend the same amount of time developing a non-linear adventure as you do making a linear one. If you choose to spend the same time making a scenario without options, that's your choice, but people are more than free to tell you that the end result is a lot less of a game than it could have been if you had actually put some thought into it. making a scenario without options.. that's your definition of a linear scenario? so, basically, there are no linear scenarios at all? oh, and a carefully crafted, although linear (linear seems to be a bad word, nowadays) plot means that the scenario's designer obviously can't have put no thought into his scenario at all? :P [ Saturday, March 05, 2005 07:29: Message edited by: cradial ] Posts: 73 \| Registered: Saturday, December 25 2004 08:00
In Defense of Pure Linearity: a Case Study in Blades of Avernum
drafter Warrior Member # 5322	written Saturday, March 5 2005 07:02 Profile #3 quote: Originally written by SkeleTony: ..I would not go to a message board and post rant after rant telling people who don't prefer my style to "** OFF!" like Harloe did. either you misunderstood, or just completely ignored what Silver actually wrote, just to, possibly, get to cleverly use his, IMHO, quite fine "rant" against him. the words " OFF" weren't, to my eyes, directed at designers who don't agree with Silver's methods and style of working in general. they were directed to people demanding designers to add more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more to their sceanrios, not realizing that the designer uses his free time, doesn't get paid, etc. just my, uh, how's it said.. 2 cents (?), though. if it's me who completely misunderstood Silver's post, though, feel free to correct me. ^^ part of Silver's original post: quote: If you're developing a BoA scenario, you're devoting you're free time to helping the BoA people have something more to do than see how much Fine Crafted Plate they can get by repeatedly beating Diplomacy with the Dead. So - no income and you're expected (by the vocal minority, it seems) of forum posters to provide for every contingency and every direction the party might make. Or barely a subsitance income to provide one story in the form of a novel or a game? OFF. Until you're sending me money to develop your world, or until you're providing "non-linear" scenarios and giving free advice how to handle all the choices without making what is already a couple months of free labor into That Much More work, I just don't want to hear how you're unhappy that I only wrote "one" story and didn't have all the different stories it would take if you decided on a different route. I can count all the BoA scenarios released or about to be released without taking off my socks. And, you know what? You're lucky those are happening because NO ONE IS GETTING JACK FOR WRITING THEM.

custom pc graphics in Blades of Avernum
drafter Warrior Member # 5322	written Saturday, February 26 2005 00:35 Profile #0 i noticed this thread just a minute ago. it isn't the first of it's kind, i'm quite certain. personally, i would like jeff to add support for additional pc graphics. you know, just add the graphic(s) to the folder, no need to replace anything. surely it wouldn't be THAT hard to implement? what say you, playing community?

drafter Warrior Member # 5322	written Wednesday, February 23 2005 01:22 Profile #9 oh gosh. facing a lawsuit for stealing graphics from a geocities-user who's quite damn likely stolen the graphics him- or herself is NOT what i want. a, dreamguy, you make me laugh, here. but i won't send the graphics, then, if it ruins the world as you know it. :-) also, comparing tm and overwhelming is ridiculous and unneeded, and you know it.

Illegal distribution on the BoAC in Blades of Avernum
drafter Warrior Member # 5322	written Saturday, February 19 2005 00:57 Profile #79 Stareye is not an ordinary moderator, as someone HAS pointed out before. He's an admin, and therefore, in my opinion, has the rights to do everything it takes to help and, in a way, protect the community. Basically, what I'm trying to say (and I'm only sharing my personal opinions, based on this thread alone), is that while both Overwhelming and Kelandon have both behaved not quite so well, Stareye has done nothing wrong. Overwhelming was causing a show, Stareye warned him in hopes of him calming down. It didn't work, and you blame him. But hey, had it work, you'd all be quite likely praising him.

drafter Warrior Member # 5322	written Tuesday, February 15 2005 06:43 Profile #40 this is getting ridiculous. oh, and kelandon, you could just ask him to remove the scripts you've done completely by yourself. in case those scripts are essential to the scenario's functionality, he'd be quite like forced to take rest of the files down, anyway. ;-) [ Tuesday, February 15, 2005 06:47: Message edited by: kendl ] Posts: 73 \| Registered: Saturday, December 25 2004 08:00

drafter Warrior Member # 5322	written Saturday, February 12 2005 12:30 Profile #0 so, the 3d editor for windows is out (even though still in midst of testing) and gosh, it's better than the original editor. anyway, i have decided to myself to draw a town that does not suck, now that i've got nicer tools for that. so far, everything's gone as planned, but now i've run across a minor problem. there's only one kind of waterfall! as you see, i'd need a different kind of a waterfall here. a custom graphic file would be one option, but i'd rather solve this somehow else for two reasons. 1, custom graphics require work (:-p) and 2, i just might learn something new about fooling around with the custom terrains in order to make them look cool. :-) suggestions? how to fake a waterfall? and yes, you will have the honor to take a look at the town and bash it to pieces, once i've finished drawing. ;-) [ Saturday, February 12, 2005 12:33: Message edited by: kendl ] Posts: 73 \| Registered: Saturday, December 25 2004 08:00
