No he hasn't... he's not doing anything.

Such a shame too, WDM is a great LAT.

Oh Really?

This is a fact and a half. It's not hard to be a good LAT. You don't have to have the ingenious know-how like the elite LATs do, what with the expert layouts. It'd be nice if people could just make a level look pretty and make sense, and most people have a hard time even doing that now.

I still stand by my point. One person can't be a team of "Global Development" in levels. It's unrealistic and stupid. With the amount of servers right now that could use a Global Levels Team, the fact that you're around right now doesn't help more than whatever one server you're helping. Cause in reality, if you're helping more than one server with levels, you're either working 24/7 on them or you're not devoting the effort required for the server to succeed.

So far no server has reached the GDT saying that they need to use our services.

That's kinda beside the point. I'm not really talking about the demand for the GDT, I'm talking about the overall effectiveness that the current levels department would have, even if they were being contacted.

I know a decent amount of great level designers, but I can't just force people to join the team. If they want to be part of it, they have to apply. I will never randomly choose people I know of.

Talking about the GDT, I keep hearing we are just a bunch of lazy developers and, even better, that I'm not doing my job as a leader. That is not true at all, we do discuss about a lot of things, and you have yet to see any work from us because:

-Some projects are not done completely
-We are not working 24/7
-I'm still waiting for someone to request our help
-Still waiting for some features to change too (gold disabled for the wiki for example)

Err, sorry but I had to say it. For anyone that happen to read this, stop thinking we are lazy, because we are here, right infront of you, always ready to help.

*eye roll*

I don't know who this is directed at exactly, because you used a few words I did so it makes me think me, but on the other hand you're not addressing anything that I am.

I wasn't saying the team is a bunch of lazy developers, or that you're not running the team effectively or whatever you're trying to say. All I'm saying is that overall, if requested, the levels department of the GDT wouldn't be effectively put to use, whether it be because the designers you know don't want to join the team, or they have other comittments or whatever reason they have for not being on the team. The current team, as it is, wouldn't be effective.

Jesus.

Lord Sephiroth,
so far the levels department haven't been a problem while making our projects. It have rather been the scripts. It doesn't matter if we are two LATs or seven.
I don't know what we are arguing about, but I got offended when you called the level department:
I just don't like it when people talk about something that they basically have no clue about.

And I get offended with self righteous *******s think they can talk down to me assuming that I have "no clue about" what I'm talking about. Just because I'm not on the team or know what your current projects are doesn't mean I don't have an opinion. I stay out of things I don't have any idea about, in this instance I think I've got a pretty good grasp.

Opinions vary. Deal with it.

poor npulse rebirth progress thread!

Totally

Im loving this Vima vs. Lord Seph debate.

Vima is talking about numbers and Seph is talking about Efficiency.

I got money on Seph this will go well for him. Any takers?

But on a on topic note, Yeah we're in need of a ganiist or two whilist some scripting.

If you have, like you say, a pretty good view on how it is in the GDT Team right now.Maybe you could give me some examples about previous situations that specificly the level department have done to show that they're not efficent enough, or efficent as the other departments in GDT.

Could you PM this to me, because this is not the right place to discuss about this.

Thanks!

- and I apologize to the thread starter that I interrupted the thread, I just had to do it since it was criticism directly towards me. -

Lets all stop being dramatic and stay on topic, please. ;)

Also, the Gani App will be closed on our site for a bit because i am going to re-do it.

Yeah I'm with Matt if you guys want to keep arguing either take it to PMs or create your own thread because this is not the place for it.

I requested help for symphonia awhile ago, once to everyone, and then to individuals.

No GDT has helped yet, I was pretty much ignored. ^^

Soala visited N-Pulse yesterday, and offered to make some images for us. I just gave him a list of GFX Team assignments because i was in a rush, but he got a decent amount done. ^^

Keep in mind the PWA is in-charge of the GDT, so i suggest any complaints you have (or anyone else has), forward them to Soala first, then Bell and Tig if you're still having problems receiving help for your server.

'Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all'; how's moderating the Level Design forum?

Update!

I am glad to announce that we have a new Debug Server in which to keep developing N-Pulse: Rebirth on. This will make development a lot easier now because we won't be creating systems that are fighting against the other. We are hoping that with the new Debug server that it will speed up progress on the Alpha Testing phase on the Rebirth project. Now that we no longer have the classic systems fighting against the new one we will be able to find bugs in the systems easier, versus not knowing about something until the old systems are removed and find a bunch of bugs that the old systems were preventing. Keep an eye out for more updates.

glad to hear the news kez show me how the storyline is its prerry cool have u can go good or evil ect keep up the work

Sounds nice, hope to see this project finished in a not too distant future :)

Since late 2008, i haven't seen progress like this up until about 6 months ago. I like it. ^^

Lol ... Graal.

N-Pulse is looking great :)

Stay on topic please, jesus. Instead of complaining, go get it handled if someone thinks something is stolen, simple as that.

Anywho, more updates should be posted throughout the week :) .

Will somebody move this back to the N-Pulse News section for me please.

I sent requests to Supernanny and Darlene this morning, so it's just a race.

I haven't seen the screen shots (they don't load as of right now for me), but I presume it's going great :)

Not to mention it was supposed to be released 1 - 2 years ago :p maybe more... eh, idk.
Awesome job though, NP! :D
I look forward to playing Rebirth and seeing the player count rise again

Bump, Any updates on this?

Rebirth isn't being worked on so why are you bumping the thread?
