Game Development

Coming up with an appropriate one-liner question was so hard I wrote the body before the header... So we're a team of 4 developers; two designers, two coders to put it simply (naturally we don't tie ourselves up with labels). We've come up with a great game design together, and we're prepared to...

Do you guys think that is off-topic?

I can see how it would be related, since questions about the industry are within scope. But I'm not really completely sure.

I think it is...it's sort of a general business (slightly programming oriented) question that is related to gamedev.

Ricket

It's one of those questions that isn't necessarily specific to game development... I agree with Cyclops' redirection to startup-business if it ever gets going but for th emoment this is probably the best place for it

The Communist Duck

But you could do the same with most thing on StackOverflow, for example. [Just relate them to games]

@Ricket Officially, we are told to behave as though the other SE sites don't exist until they are out of public beta.

We should probably get

Q: What should our FAQ contain?

Since this is one of the 7 Essential Meta Questions of Every Beta... What should go in our FAQ? Most of the FAQ is boilerplate, but we need to determine the on-topic and off-topic subjects that go into that particular section of the official FAQ. Those should be derived from the original site ...

I think he did pretty well for a foreign speaker, though he should get a shift key

Noctrine

I agree there, what I am talking about is specifically:

but we do not mainly focus on the game market. -> since one of our main focus is the game market.

The Communist Duck

6:47 PM

I am okay, thanks. How are you?

Noctrine

Internship ends this week. School starts again in sept. Pretty sucky ><

Nice that I will have two weeks of solid game/site development time though I guess.

Going to miss getting paid though.

Ricket

Yeah I've been in an internship all summer but I'm glad it's over, I ended up not really liking it

You're doing Ludum Dare I hope?

Noctrine

Looks interesting, but no.

Launching a Gaming Portal, and want to finally have my ezine/digital distro service come out of closed beta

Man, would love to fit a quick retro game in there. But quick is never quick and my partners would kill me ><

Ricket

Yeah sounds like you have a lot on your hands

Noctrine

Woo Thaifood bbl

Rule #1: when you enter a chatroom, don't expect everyone else to be talking. Try saying something, maybe you can start a conversation. Unless you just want to read the backlog. :-\
