Hi Starchitects!

[BSTRhino]

Just so we're all informed, Forsaken_One has been added to the team on the basis of his merit with the terrain and writing for his upcoming make Love & Hate RPG.

Also, I submitted our maps to StarEdit.net, and at the moment, Bite Sized Games highlighted on the front page in the sidebar. The map has also been the top ranked map on Starcraft.org pretty much since the first day it was released, although it slipped from its top position for one day - Snipers has been a good contender.

The next question is, when are we going to get started again? Well, I need to revamp the StarCraft.org front page first, because I was meant to do that ages ago. So, I need to scope out the Starchitects until I get that done, and I'm planning to do it over the next three weeks. Until then, does anyone on the team feel like opening the sign-ups and reviewing potential candidates?

Hi, BSTRhino!
Personally, I'd like to see an RPG from you guys at a similar level to Deleas' Corruption RPG (the good story, the excellent use of spells and triggs, and good map layout).

That's me! :D

If you have yet to download it, do it now! It's so much fun! :P


The next question is, when are we going to get started again?

I would love to start working!!

If anyone would like to brainstorm about another Starchitects Map.

Let me know! I'll start as soon as you'd like too!

Yeah, you've been slacking! ;)

Sure, I'll start. Just point me in the right direction!

[MidnightGladius]

I'd appreciate if you'd open up sign-ups again. I have a killer piece of writing that I'm planning on submitting, along with terrain and triggering.

[Forsaken_One]

@BSTRhino:

If you would like me to view Midnight's writing submission, I would love to do it. That is if it's alright with you.

W00t, Hi BST.

I played Bite Sized games for a bit, but couldn't go past 2000 points... I are teh suxxor :\
Anyway, I think what's really need to be done is not open sign-ups, but finish the unfinished projects --- Starchitects Conversion v2 was started at 12/18/04 - that's, like, nine months ago! About damn time to finish it!

[MidnightGladius]

That's fine with me, Aqo. If you can actually get it finished this time ( :/ ), I'll count it as a small loss.

[BSTRhino]

Well, MidnightGladius, terraining in the Starchitects is actually really hard to get into, because we don't have a huge need for terrainers, and half the time, terrainers help do triggering anyway. My preference would be to put you in the triggering section, but we'd have to see how good your triggering is.

Writing, again, it's kind of the same. We haven't needed writers in the past, and although that might change, I'd actually like to keep that section closed for now except for people who qualify for another department. Also, when we accept writers, they don't really do what they often submit to us, what we need are people who can make scripts or plots that can work with maps, not really people who can write pages of good literature. I mean, that's not to say we won't look at your writing, Forsaken_One, if you want to look at MidnightGladius's writing go ahead, but we probably can't let you in for writing just because of the nature of the section. I'd really like to see your triggers though.

finish the unfinished projects
Yeah, that's the idea. I just want to bring in new people to help out for when we get started again. The next project is definitely ONS-Torlan though, the SCTS Conversion v2 can't be done fully because of some annoying problems involving alignment and palettes.

[Aqo]

Well than, get rid of those those alignments and palettes! do somehing else simpler instead and keep the rest; you don't just throw away nine months of work!
As for ONS-Torlan, I believe anyone in the team who has 16 hours of free time can finish it by himself, I'd do it myself but that won't make any sense.

[MidnightGladius]

Very well, then. Triggering should be interesting.

Oh, and Forsaken_One, my USB drive is being annoying, so when I can get it fixed (right now it's not registering on the computer at all), I'll send you the piece. I do have a backup, but I haven't updated it in around 3 months, so I'm kind of hesitating to start from there.

[Forsaken_One]

Well, when ever you are ready, just send it over. I'll enjoy reading it! :P

[Fronter]

Alas, like Midnight, I have been wating to. I remember that some time past you had that for triggers you would ask us to do some certain trigger to do, then send the map to you. I would like for a question now. (Don't mind the signature, I am pretty dead with Starcraft, but I am going to be rivived in a bit, I was just so mad at seeing so many... Un triggerised maps...)

[Whiteknight]

We need to all get together again and do some work or at least discuss where we are going next. Anyone care to set up a date and time?

[Aqo]

Today & Now?

:p

Maybe tomorrow (9/13/2005) at the time when you (WK) posted your post? I wouldn't be able to be there myself, but from what I see most of you post around that time so it's a good hour.

[Fronter]

[Forsaken_One]

Well, when you all decide what time for a meeting, let me know. You can PM me or try and get a hold of me through one of the Instant Messenger's.

Yeah, I have them all. God Bless Trillian!

[UED77]

Hello guys. Sorry for my absence. I will get on Trillian maybe today (2005-09-13 UTC), maybe tomorrow. Generally, I am available from 17:00 UTC to 02:00 UTC every day, but that's an overstatement, since I do require time for homework and time with family. But I'll do my best to get back on track.

Hey its BST, I've heard lots of things about you. They say ur realli busy and now inactive here but Im hoping its all gonna change xD. If you don't mind BST, I'd like the task of redesigning SC.org front page. Not me, well more like Soule Studios. Im sure you've heard of it, you know the old Soule. We're going corporate now and we would appreciate the coverage it would give us for designing your site. This also gives you more time to spend with Starchitects. I also got some killer map ideas if anyone wants to know. Just keeping yall psoted.

[BSTRhino]

Well, actually I haven't opened the sign-ups yet. I said I was going to think about the Starchitects once the front page is redone.

IceFlare, just so you know, it's not a graphic redesign, we're just going to change the content on the front page. So, I don't think it sounds like the kind of thing Soule does. By all means, throw some ideas at me, but I will probably say no if you're thinking about changing all the graphics.

[IceFlare]

Hmmm I thought it was something like that but now Im not so sure, what do you have in mind for changing front content?
