raocow's talkhaus

Intro and W0 cutscenes, 2nd draft (originals by Hoeloe) http://pastebin.com/Pg4TcSCj This new draft cut a couple of things that makes it much more confusing. There's no indication, for example, that what is happening takes place in a parallel universe - that needs to be made clear from the outset s...

Tortilla Girl reminds me a little too much of a certain... Uhhh.

That's all fine with me, but it's important that features are decided upon, just that they should be done by discussion rather than by someone just deciding it. So far, this is what the development team has tried to do, by discussing everything thoroughly in the Skype group, and by posting polls on ...

No no, what I'm saying was the impression of professional indie game in Ep1 was because of a few people who insisted on having that way in order to shows others up, despite people in the discussion thread for Ep1 mostly saying that we should aim for mostly the same thing as ASMBXT, but better. Ah. ...

Most of the people who were around during the start of Ep1 development. Who are no longer relevant because they've contributed next to nothing to episode 2. Ep 2 had a big restructuring a few months ago after MAGLX2, when the development really kicked off, and a lot of things changed then because o...

The impression given by A2XT was made quite clear by raocow: this is no longer just an amateur collection of raocow-fan levels, but an indie-ish fangame you can download and play. That's really only because guys like Septentrion and Shemp wanted it to be that way, with most being ok with "ASMB...

See, that's my problem as well. Even though most of the people working on Ep2 is different than in Ep1, that should have stayed as one of the core mantras of the project. Well, it may be a little bit harsh of me to say, but the dev team for episode 2 has so far proven itself to be vastly more compe...

This was a thing that was decided/agreed on back during ASMBXT, and people felt should continue moving forward for all of A2XT. And this is my problem. You have to remember that there are almost NO members of that development team left working on the project. The design philosophy is VERY different...

The problem is that ideas were accepted before someone had actually made the thing up and got it in people's hands, and that's what I want to avoid in the future. I'm fine with letting this slide now, but I want to try and make sure this doesn't happen again in the future, because that's not what w...

I wouldn't say we're changing direction, moreso trying to enforce something that we agreed on from the start, which is that nothing should be set in stone as part of the game until it is 100% finished. The reasoning for that was not because of fears of ending up like A2MT, but because we wanted to ...

hey, i know i have nothing to do with this project, but having followed both this and a2mt, i can definitely tell that this project isn't even remotely going the way a2mt did. a2mt's situation was that all the talented people simply lost interest because management (and more to the point, direction...

No, pretty much everything you said is what people wanted to avoid. Sure? But my point is that the CAUSE isn't related to A2XT's system so much as everything else that's going on around it. Regardless, as I've said many times, the best way to combat this isn't to just slap a deadline on things - th...

If you want to continue with what you guys are working on right now, we can do that for just this time, since shaman hasn't really been around to enforce this, and I may have not been clear when talking about this before, but I want to wholly avoid this in the future; the spot we're in is exactly t...

One problem: we agreed a long time ago that this is a simple project with little to no barriers, and that any idea that people came up with wouldn't even be considered unless they posted a working version of their idea, and people agreed to use it in their content. What you're saying is all fine an...

As for waiting on people, that's not what A2MT's problem was. It doesn't matter. Many people have stated time and time again that we should not be waiting on anything, and that waiting on things should be avoided 100%, even if it means cutting an entire idea. This has been discussed to death, and t...

Then let's agree to disagree on both points then. All we've ever needed is to do ASMBXT again but with slightly more polish. As to your other point, people shouldn't be needing to wait on other people. Let people make what they want. I don't care how fancy and great things are in favour of simplici...
